Business users often struggle with generating flexible and customized reports to gain insights and make data-driven decisions. Existing reporting tools and systems are often complex and require technical expertise to navigate and generate reports. This results in a significant time and resource investment, as business users must rely on IT or data analysts to create and modify reports, causing delays in accessing critical information. Additionally, the lack of flexibility in reporting tools limits the ability of business users to tailor reports to their specific needs and requirements.

As a result, there is a need for a flexible reporting chat solution that empowers business users to easily create, modify, and customize reports without relying on technical expertise, thereby improving efficiency, and enabling faster decision-making based on real-time insights.

To achieve this, utilize Large Language Models (LLM) and Language Chains. Additionally, the chatbot should be able to plot data in a graph. Evaluation: Your hack/solution will be assessed on the following criteria --
