Microsoft Research introduces Flint-interactive for creating interactive data visualizations

Flint-interactive is a language enabling agents to create richly interactive data visualizations, allowing users to explore through clicking, filtering, zooming, highlighting, and cross-chart interactions. It simplifies complex interactions by letting users and agents define behaviors using high-level semantic events and update operators, and improves reliability by using Flint's compiler to manage interaction logic and visual dependencies. The system supports connected experiences across charts, text, tables, and applications, allowing AI agents to efficiently analyze data and generate reports.
