What is Vizly?
Vizly is an AI-powered data analyst that lets users upload data files and interact with their data using natural-language chat, producing visualizations, statistical analyses, and reproducible Python or R code. The product automatically generates interactive charts, summary statistics, and suggested questions (Generate Insights) to accelerate exploratory data analysis without requiring users to write code. It targets researchers, academics, data analysts, and business users who need quick visual insight, reproducible analysis code, and privacy controls for sensitive datasets. Vizly includes features for data cleaning, export (CSV/Excel/PDF/Word reports), and configurable data retention and sandboxed execution environments to reduce exposure of sensitive data while enabling more advanced analysis workflows.
Vizly pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Vizly offers a free tier that allows limited monthly usage (including up to 10 messages per month for free users) and access to core upload, chat, and visualization features; free users have short default data retention (automatic deletion after one hour of inactivity). Paid plans extend message quotas, increase or customize data retention, unlock premium features like longer sandbox retention, desktop/on-prem deployment, and expanded export/reporting capabilities; academic discounts are available automatically when signing up with an academic email or by requesting a discount code via their support email. For enterprise or customized terms (on-premises deployment, secure isolated environments, volume licensing) users are invited to contact Vizly directly for pricing and setup details.

Frequently asked questions about Vizly
What file types can I upload to Vizly?
Vizly accepts common tabular and document formats including CSV, Excel, JSON, SPSS, PDF, and image files so you can analyze spreadsheets, survey files, and embedded tables or charts directly in the app.
How does Vizly keep my data private?
Vizly stores uploads in encrypted environments, runs analysis inside private sandboxes, and offers configurable retention policies (free users’ files are deleted after a short inactivity window while paid users can opt for longer retention or on-prem deployment) to minimize exposure to external APIs.
Can Vizly generate code I can reuse?
Yes; Vizly translates your natural-language queries into reproducible Python or R code that you can view, modify, run, and export so analyses are reproducible and integrable into your own workflows.
Do I need to know Python or R to use Vizly?
No; you can interact with your data entirely through the chat interface and the 'Generate Insights' suggestions, but Vizly also provides the underlying Python or R code if you want to inspect or reuse it.
Is there a desktop app available?
Yes; Vizly is available as a desktop application for both macOS and Windows, enabling local or on-prem usage and integration with local resources for larger or sensitive datasets.
What limits exist on the free plan?
The free tier includes a limited number of chat messages per month (for example, 10 messages), core upload and visualization features, and short default data retention—users needing higher message quotas or longer retention must upgrade to a paid plan.
Can Vizly perform machine learning or predictive analysis?
Vizly can run statistical and predictive workflows and will generate code for machine learning steps; however, complex model tuning or production deployments typically require exporting the code and running it in your own environment.
How do I export results and reports?
You can export cleaned or transformed datasets as CSV or Excel, and generate shareable reports in Word or PDF formats directly from the Vizly interface for distribution or further editing.
Is there an academic discount?
Yes; Vizly applies an academic discount automatically when you sign up with an academic email, and additional discount codes can be requested via their support contact email.
What if I need on-premises hosting for compliance?
Vizly supports on-premises or local deployment options to meet stricter security and compliance needs; organizations should contact Vizly’s team to arrange enterprise licensing and deployment details.
