You will interact with the AI to automatically generate a chart based on your data. *** ### Prerequisites * A [connected database](https://toucan-toco.gitbook.io/toucan-ai/build/data-connections/how-to/add-a-database) (as seen in the previous tutorials). * A clear idea of the chart you want to create, *such as employee counts by contract type.* *** ### Steps #### 1. Access the "Library" Tab * From the home page of Toucan AI, click on the **Library** tab. * In the top-right corner, click on the **Add Visualization** button. #### 2. Choose the "Add Chart" Option * Click on **Add Chart** to start creating a new chart. * This will open the AI-powered conversational interface where you can interact with the AI to generate a chart. #### 3. Enter Your Prompt for AI * In the conversational interface, type a relevant prompt. * *For example, you could type **"Show me the number of employees by contract type"** if you have HR Data for instance.* * Once you send the prompt, Toucan AI will start analyzing your connected database and propose a chart based on the model. #### 4. Review the AI-Generated Chart * The chart will appear on the right side of the screen. The AI will also provide a brief summary of the proposed chart along with insights and steps to understand the data transformation process. * You should verify the suggested metrics and dimensions to ensure they match your needs.
