Getting Started
Welcome to Julius! In this quickstart guide, we’ll walk you through how to upload data, start a conversation, select a data source, analyze and visualize your data, and how to export your results!
Upload your File
Click the 📎 icon to upload your file, or simply drag it into the conversation window.
Click upload file to upload to Julius directly. You can upload multiple file types including CSVs, Excel, JSON or even multimedia files. To learn about all the file types Julius supports, and the different ways you can connect your data, visit Files.
Analyze and Transform your Data
Once a data source is linked and a conversation started, you can ask Julius to analyze and transform the data using natural language commands. For example:
Show me the average sales by product category
Sort the data by customer age
Julius translates your commands into Python code and applies them to the data. You can perform actions such as filtering, sorting, aggregating, performing regressions, and more.
Visualizing Data
Once you uploaded your file, prompt Julius to create visualizations from your data. You can request a variety of plot types, including but not limited to:
- Bar plots: Useful for comparing quantities across categories. For example, “Show me a bar plot of sales by product category.”
- Line plots: Useful for showing trends over time. For example, “Show me a line plot of sales over time.”
- Histograms: Useful for showing the distribution of a variable. For example, “Show me a histogram of customer ages.”
- Scatter plots: Useful for showing the relationship between two variables. For example, “Show me a scatter plot of age versus income.”
- Pie charts: Useful for showing the proportion of categories. For example, “Show me a pie chart of sales by region.”
Julius will generate the requested plot and display it in the chat. You can then right click on the image and copy or save it if you wish to use the visualization in other contexts.
Share your Insights
If you’ve made changes to your data and want to export it, tell Julius to export the data. Provide a name for the export file and specify which data format you prefer — CSV or Excel file. A link will be generated in the chat, which will lead to a page with a download button for exporting the file.
You can also easily share and download any visualizations that are generated!
