    About the technology

    Every dataset tells a story. After you’ve cleaned, crunched, and organized the raw data, it’s your job to share its story in a way that connects with your audience. Python’s Altair data visualization library, combined with generative AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, provide an amazing toolbox for transforming numbers, code, text, and graphics into intuitive data presentations.

    About the book

    Data Storytelling with Altair and AI teaches you how to build enhanced data visualizations using these tools. The book uses hands-on examples to build powerful narratives that can inform, inspire, and motivate. It covers the Altair data visualization library, along with AI techniques like generating text with ChatGPT, creating images with DALL-E, and Python coding with Copilot. You’ll learn by practicing with each interesting data story, from tourist arrivals in Portugal to population growth in the USA to fake news, salmon aquaculture, and more.

    What's inside
