Columns

Columns is a data storytelling and visualization platform that can transform pasted text or structured data into charts and shareable visual narratives. Users should protect sensitive datasets, verify parsing, units and calculations, choose accessible and non-misleading scales, document sources, review sharing permissions and retain human analytical and editorial judgment.

Use authorized, minimal inputs and grant integrations the least access required. Configure privacy, retention, sharing, quality, accessibility, disclosure, export, governance, moderation and spending controls. Test representative cases, verify generated facts, calculations, citations, customer messages, code, trades and financial details, preserve originals and version history, and retain accountable human approval before publication, outreach, deployment or operational action.

A free plan is available and paid access starts from approximately $15 per month. Projects, data sources, AI features, exports, collaboration, subscription period, renewal and taxes vary.

AI output can be inaccurate, biased, derivative, insecure, incomplete or misleading.
