US Patent 11522820 Conversational natural language interfaces for data analysis

A computing system receives from a messaging system a first input identifying a data source. The computing system receives from the messaging system a second input specifying a natural language command related to the data source. The system translates the second input into a set of parameters for building a first data visualization from the data source. The system calls one or more API functions provided by a data visualization server, and the computing system receives from the data visualization server a first data visualization that includes a first subset of data fields from the data source. The system generates a representation of the first data visualization and sends the representation to the messaging system, which in turn sends the representation to an electronic device for display on the device.
