AI that respects your data

We make AI and data play well together

Simpler Story’s AI Assistant helps you choose interesting charts, draft titles and annotations, and generate images and icons while your source data stays untouched.

AI never rewrites or generates your underlying values. It works from field names, types, and safe summaries; every chart is rendered from your source data.

Everything AI creates is editable. Accept it, refine it, or build it by hand.
