Show HN: Data Formulator 0.5 – Vibe with your data (Microsoft Research)

[chenglong-hn]

Data Formulator 0.5 released! It's a new research prototype from Data Formulator team @ Microsoft Research.

It's quite a leap since our first prototype last year -- we bring agent mode to interact with data, together with an online demo that you can play with (https://data-formulator.ai/).

"Vibe with your data, in control" -- featuring agent mode + interactive control to play with data, it should be more fun than last time you discovered it!

- Load whatever data - structured data, database connections, or extract from screenshots/messy text - Flexible AI exploration - full agent mode OR hybrid UI+NL control for precision - Data threads - branch, backtrack, and manage multiple exploration paths - Interpretable results - inspect charts, formulas, explanations, and generated code - Report generation - AI creates shareable insights grounded in your data
