From Manual Charts to AI Workflows

Excel remains the world’s most popular analysis surface, but manual charting does not scale with today’s cadence. Peek ingests spreadsheets, detects types, and recommends expressive visuals without demanding macros or templates. Analysts preserve the flexibility of Excel while graduating repetitive presentation work to automation. Data quality nudges catch header drift, date parse issues, and unexpected nulls before stakeholders ever see them. Early feedback cycles become calmer because the first draft is already credible. When small teams must ship big results, this lift matters enormously. It frees energy for exploration instead of formatting.

The migration is evolutionary, not disruptive. Teams keep their familiar files and simply add a faster path from table to story. Peek’s recommendations are transparent and editable, so experts can add nuance without starting over. Keyboard-first power users still get precise control while casual users enjoy a guided experience. In practice, this middle path produces better outputs with fewer disagreements about color, scale, or aggregation. Executives see the same truth dressed in a more persuasive form and respond with clearer decisions. That is the promise of moving from manual charts to AI workflows.

Governance improves as well because outputs are consistent and auditable. Shared definitions reduce confusion and make quarterly reviews smoother. Exports to PowerPoint and PDF carry through accessibility and typography guidelines automatically. Teams stop reinventing brand styles for each deck and start investing in the clarity of their story. Over time, stakeholders learn what to expect and where to look, which shortens the distance from insight to action. The compounding effect is a quieter, more effective analytics program.
