Charts and tables from earnings calls, in one question

Numbers scattered across three transcripts are data; the same numbers on one axis are a finding. earnings.chat draws charts and tables directly in the chat when a question calls for them. This guide shows the phrasings that trigger each, and the one rule that makes the output trustworthy: every value comes from a query or a verbatim quote, never from the model.

When a chart appears

Ask for a development, a trend, or a comparison of a handful of values and the answer attaches a chart. "Chart NVIDIA's revenue over the last three calls" produces a bar chart with axes, value labels and the dates underneath. Five or more consecutive periods become a line; a few discrete values stay bars, because bars compare and lines show trajectories.

You do not choose the chart type, and you should not have to. The heuristic is the same one an analyst would apply, and every chart keeps a zero baseline so quoted earnings figures never look steeper than they are.

When a table appears

Tables answer "compare" and "side by side" questions with more than one dimension. "Give me a table comparing what AMD and Microsoft said about AI capacity" returns companies as rows and the finding as columns, with numeric columns right-aligned like they should be.

The prose above the table carries the interpretation, not a repeat of the cells. That is a deliberate rule: an answer that says everything twice reads like filler.

Phrasings that work

  • "Chart X over the last N calls" for a single company trajectory.
  • "Compare X and Y on Z, as a table" for a two-company read on one topic.
  • "Revenue development in percent, year over year" when you want rates rather than levels.
  • "Show the segment split from the latest call" when the call broke a figure into parts.

Where the numbers come from

Every point in a chart and every cell in a table is either the result of a database query over the transcript data or a figure quoted verbatim by a speaker, with the source named below the answer. The model arranges the numbers; it never invents them. When the calls do not contain a figure, the answer says so instead of estimating, because a chart with one made-up bar is worse than no chart.

The copy button exports charts as text bars and tables as markdown, so a finding pasted into notes, a chat or another model keeps its shape and its sources.
