A chatbot for 8Knot that recommends which of the 30–40 visualizations to show and then uses LLM function-calling to populate Plotly graph parameters; graph JSON returns feed back as structured context so the model can explain trends. Retrieval uses graph name + description + vector DB of embeddings instead of slow agent reasoning. Backend experiments include breaking graph generation into AWS Lambda functions (cold starts accepted) and a responsive UI; source Augur data covers about 30,000 projects.
