Understand this story
On October 23, 2026, Microsoft Research introduced Flint-interactive, an interactive data visualization language built on top of Flint, aimed at enabling agents to generate interactive charts. According to its introduction, the language allows charts generated by agents to support clicking, filtering, zooming, highlighting, and cross-chart linking; it uses the Flint compiler to parse raw triggers such as clicks and drags into semantic events, so users only need to describe update behaviors with high-level operators without writing low-level visualization code. The language is already usable in conversations through Flint-MCP and MCP Apps, and it also provides a programming API for developers to build dashboards and data stories. There are currently no subsequent development facts.
