This update expands ChatGPT's integrated capabilities, enabling more sophisticated data analysis and visualization directly in conversations. It aligns with a broader industry trend of making advanced AI features accessible, similar to how Claude also offers in-chat interactive chart generation.

ChatGPT's data analysis feature is available on mobile and web. Upload structured data, specify desired calculations or chart types, and review the Python code and assumptions used for analysis before relying on the results.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

ChatGPT may not reliably extract exact values from image-based tables, scanned files, or files with complex visual layouts. For exact values, upload a spreadsheet or text-based file instead.

A file may upload successfully but still be too large, complex, image-heavy, or poorly structured for complete analysis. If the result seems incomplete, ask ChatGPT to inspect specific sheets, rows, columns, or sections, or split the file into smaller files.

When using connected apps, ChatGPT uses the connected account and app permissions. Workspace admins may also control which apps are available.
