Data Storyteller Automatically transform raw data into compelling, insight-rich reports. Upload any CSV or Excel file and get back a complete analysis with visualizations, statistical summaries, and narrative explanations - all without writing code. Core Workflow 1. Load and Analyze Data from scripts . data_storyteller import DataStoryteller
Initialize with your data file
storyteller
DataStoryteller ( "your_data.csv" )
Or from a pandas DataFrame
import pandas as pd df = pd . read_csv ( "your_data.csv" ) storyteller = DataStoryteller ( df ) 2. Generate Full Report
Generate comprehensive report
report
storyteller . generate_report ( )
Access components

- Example Output
- Sample Executive Summary
- "This dataset contains 10,847 records across 15 columns, covering sales transactions from January 2023 to December 2024. Revenue shows a strong upward trend (+23% YoY) with clear seasonal peaks in Q4. The top 3 product categories account for 67% of total revenue. Notable finding: Customer acquisition cost has increased 15% while retention rate dropped 8%, suggesting potential profitability concerns worth investigating."
- Sample Insight
- "Strong correlation detected between marketing_spend and new_customers (r=0.78, p<0.001). However, this relationship weakens significantly after $50K monthly spend, suggesting diminishing returns beyond this threshold."
- Best Practices
- Clean data first
-
- Remove obvious errors before analysis
- Name columns clearly
-
- Helps auto-detection and narratives
- Include dates
-
- Enables time-series analysis
- Provide context
- Tell the storyteller what the data represents Limitations Maximum recommended: 1M rows, 100 columns Complex nested data may need flattening Images/binary data not supported PDF export requires reportlab package Dependencies pandas>=2.0.0 numpy>=1.24.0 matplotlib>=3.7.0 seaborn>=0.12.0 scipy>=1.10.0 reportlab>=4.0.0 openpyxl>=3.1.0
