So What's the Conclusion? Analyzing Graphs and Chart Images

Analyzing complex graphs or charts with intricate data interrelations at a glance can be quite challenging.

In such cases, you can utilize ChatGPT's Vision feature to quickly analyze graphs and charts, extracting meaningful insights in no time.


What is ChatGPT's Vision Feature?​

ChatGPT's Vision feature employs computer vision technologies to analyze images and videos. It can identify objects within images, extract text, and recognize patterns.

This image recognition capability was introduced in GPT-4 as the model called gpt-4-vision-preview, and it was included in gpt-4o, released in May 2024.

To analyze an image, you simply need to upload it to the ChatGPT conversation interface and request an analysis. There's no special setup required.

Utilizing the Vision feature, the AI can independently identify X/Y axis labels, data points, and colors on a graph, interpreting their meaning and explaining it to the user in an easily understandable way.


Data Visualization → Image Analysis → Conclusion Derivation​

For instance, suppose you created a graph that represents employee productivity and break time through data visualization.

employee-productivity-and-break-time

In this case, you can craft a prompt as follows, which the AI will use to analyze the graph and derive conclusions.

Graph Image Analysis Prompt Example
### Instructions
Please analyze the graph attached as an image
and describe the relationship between employee productivity
and break time in four brief points.

ChatGPT will analyze the graph image and derive the following conclusions.

  1. Break time between 45-60 minutes: Generally tends to show high productivity.
  2. When break time exceeds 60 minutes: A pattern of slightly lower productivity emerges.
  3. Break time below 30 minutes: Some days record high productivity, but it does not consistently show a pattern.
  4. Short break time and high productivity: On certain days (e.g., June 4th), despite short break times, the highest productivity was recorded, but this is an exceptional case.
