The Challenge: Getting Started Can Be the Hardest Part
You’ve connected your data and opened a new dashboard, but now you’re staring at a blank canvas.
Where do you start? Which charts make the most sense? How do you turn numbers into a story your colleagues can understand? Before you even get there, your dataset might need some work: filtering rows, replacing values, fixing inconsistent formats. Data prep can be tedious, and even simple cleanup tasks can take hours, especially for new or occasional users.
Minitab has been helping people overcome these challenges for decades. We’ve always believed that analytics should be powerful, approachable, and precise. Long before generative AI became mainstream, Minitab was integrating advanced algorithms, predictive analytics, and machine learning into our platform. Our commitment to combining innovation with statistical rigor has made us a trusted leader in data analysis.
Over the past year, we’ve continued to build on that legacy by embedding generative AI directly into our products, making it easier than ever for users to interpret data and generate insights. In Minitab Statistical Software, we introduced AI-powered natural language summaries that help users quickly understand their results without digging through complex output. In Minitab Brainstorm and Minitab Workspace, we’ve leveraged AI to spark creativity and accelerate idea generation, helping teams move from concept to execution faster and more effectively.
Now, we’re expanding how AI powers analysis and decision-making across the platform, helping users prepare data, build dashboards, and uncover insights that drive meaningful results. These latest enhancements in the Minitab Solution Center make it easier to move past that blank page and reach insight faster with clarity, confidence, and control. This is AI you can trust, built to enhance your judgment, not replace it.
AI-Powered Automatic Dashboard Creation: Go From Data to Design in Seconds
Turning data into insight should feel effortless. With automatic dashboard creation, Minitab instantly suggests charts, metrics, and layouts that make sense for your data the moment you connect a dataset, giving you a strong starting point without the blank screen.
You’ll see a ready-to-use dashboard with visuals and key indicators already in place. You can edit, rearrange, or add to it at any time, but you’ll never have to start from scratch again, saving you hours of valuable time.
This new AI feature helps users find direction faster and focus on interpreting results instead of wrestling with setup. It turns that first moment of hesitation into progress and insight.

Natural Language Data Preparation: Talk to Your Data
Of course, great dashboards start with clean, reliable data. That’s where Minitab’s new AI-powered data preparation features come in.
The new conversational data preparation in Minitab Data Center lets you describe what you want to do in plain language.
For example, you can simply type:
“Filter my dataset by Pennsylvania.”
Minitab’s AI understands your intent, applies the right action, and shows the result in your data preparation steps. You can review or adjust the outcome whenever you need to.
This capability removes unnecessary clicks and helps anyone—regardless of experience level—work with data efficiently. It saves time, reduces confusion, and keeps every transformation visible and easy to understand.

AI Where It Counts
Minitab’s AI shows up where it really counts: in the daily work of exploring, cleaning, and visualizing data. It helps users focus on understanding their results and solving problems, not figuring out where to start.
It also amplifies your expertise. Minitab’s platform combines the power of generative and predictive AI with the precision of trusted statistical methods, giving you insights that are clear, traceable, and ready for action.
These enhancements are part of Minitab’s ongoing commitment to help users move smoothly from data preparation to visualization to decision-making. The experience is faster, more intuitive, and built to perform under pressure.
