About the “Data Storytelling: Turn a Chart Into a Video” template

Turn a chart or a data set you paste into an honest video script: what it shows and what it does not, axes, units, source and date, warnings about correlation, samples and scales, and a proposed chart animation. It is one of the templates in AI Video.

What it will ask you (18)

Which chart or data set do you want to tell? (title or topic, e.g. hours of daylight through the year in my city)
Paste the data here (table, list of values or exact description of the chart). Only these numbers will be used. Do not paste personal or identifiable data about third parties: use aggregated data
What type of chart is it?
What do the axes show and in what units? (e.g. horizontal axis = months; vertical axis = hours of daylight)
Where does the data come from? (body, study or link; if you do not know, write «unknown»)
Date or period covered by the data (e.g. full year 2023)
If you know: how many cases, places or measurements are behind each point? (e.g. a single measuring station)
What conclusion do you think the chart shows? (it will be checked against the data)
Who is the video for? (e.g. general audience with no statistics background)
Audience level with data
Approximate length in seconds (between 30 and 480)
Aspect ratio
Narration tone
Chart animations you would like to use
The vertical axis does not start at zero (or I am not sure whether it does)

There are estimated values, projections or incomplete data
I will use AI-generated images, voice or music

What the AI returned with this prompt and some sample answers.

# Data story video · loaves sold per day at a neighbourhood bakery

WHAT IT SHOWS AND WHAT IT DOESN'T
Shows: loaves sold each day, Monday to Saturday, in a single week.
Can't tell you: why it varies, whether other weeks look the same, or how
other bakeries sell.
User's message (“we sell more at the weekend”): partly supported.
Careful version: “that week, Friday and Saturday had the most loaves”.

CHART FACT SHEET
Type: vertical bars [provided]
X axis: day · Y axis: loaves sold, starting at zero [provided]
Source: the bakery's own till records [provided]
Period: one week; exact date [to verify]

DATA USED
D1 Monday 120 · D2 Tuesday 115 · D3 Wednesday 118
D4 Thursday 122 · D5 Friday 160 · D6 Saturday 210
Difference D6 − D2 = 95 loaves (calculated from D6 and D2, double-check)

CAVEATS
- One week is not a pattern. Say: “in the week recorded”.
- No causes: the chart doesn't explain why the days differ.
