Generally Available After Breakout Early Access

The Rise of Vibe Analytics event also marks the general availability of Plotly Studio and Plotly Cloud, following an over-subscribed early access program that gained more than 6,000 registrants.

Plotly Studio redefines how people create data visualizations, dashboards, and analytics apps, using natural language. Plotly Studio requires virtually zero learning curve—users need only two minutes and a dataset to be able to:

• Build data apps in under 2 minutes
• Iterate via natural language or specs
• Extend with Python or SQL when needed
  

Early feedback has been astoundingly positive, reflecting the ways Plotly Studio has completely revolutionized how data apps are built and hosted.

• Brian Julius, a 6X LinkedIn Top Voice and long-time Power BI professional, shared these thoughts, “Didn’t write a single line of code. Didn’t debug a single DAX measure. Just prompts.” He found Plotly Studio to be “intuitive, polished, and looks like the future of front-end AI-driven BI.”
• Eszter Kovacs “This platform is perfect for practicing and enhancing creative thinking in data analysis. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore new tools and get inspired in the world of data visualization!”
• Art Tennick noted, “Finish your month-end accounting reports in only 5 minutes. No formulas, no coding, no point-and-click.”
• Mateusz Pawlowski praised the tool for molecular chemistry visual storytelling, saying, “Benzene (C₆H₆) + Plotly Studio = WOW! Sometimes all it takes is one molecule, one prompt, one tool—and a little bit of knowledge—to spark that ‘wait, I can actually do this?!’ feeling. It’s pure visual storytelling, no coding required.”
