How to Build Dashboard Visuals with Copilot

Create dashboard charts in your IDE with Copilot and ToolRouter. Visualizations for dev dashboards.

Tool
Generate Chart icon
Generate Chart

Copilot generates charts directly alongside your code and documentation, turning data visualization into part of your development workflow rather than a separate step. Feed in data from your application, test results, monitoring systems, or API responses and produce publication-ready visualizations without switching tools. This is especially valuable for engineering teams that need performance charts in post-mortems, benchmark comparisons in technical blog posts, or sprint metrics embedded in retrospective documents.
