Same data. Much better dashboard.

The workflow from my Reel. Screenshot your dashboard, ask AI how it would redesign it, get the exact structure to follow, and rebuild. Works for Power BI, Excel, Tableau, Looker Studio, and Google Sheets.

Take a screenshot AI can actually read

The whole page, full size

One screenshot per dashboard page, at 100% zoom, with nothing cropped. Filters and titles included, so the AI sees what your users see.

Hide what's confidential

Blur or replace client names, salaries, and anything sensitive before you upload. For a design review, the layout matters, not the real numbers.

Any AI that reads images

ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini all work. Attach the image in the chat, then paste prompt 1.

Make the prompts yours

Fill these in once and every prompt below updates as you type. Anything you leave blank stays as a highlighted placeholder you can edit in the chat.

Screenshot it and ask: how would you redesign this?

Attach the screenshot, then ask for a critique across layout, chart selection, visual hierarchy, spacing, and color, ranked by impact.

Prompt 1 of 3

      

What a good answer looks like

It refers to things actually in your screenshot (“the pie in the top right”), not generic tips. Every change has a reason. If it's vague, reply: “Be more specific to my screenshot.”

Get the exact structure to follow

Recommendations are nice. A blueprint with a grid, sizes, colors, and formats is what you can actually rebuild from.

Prompt 2 of 3

      

What a good answer looks like

You could hand the checklist to a colleague and they'd build the same dashboard. Exact hex codes, exact sizes, and one highlight color, not five.

The step most people skip

Rebuild it, then check nothing changed

Rebuild using the structure, take a new screenshot, and send both back. A redesign should change how it looks, never what it says.

Prompt 3 of 3

      

Then compare the numbers yourself

Put the old and new versions side by side and check every KPI. If a total moved, a filter or measure changed during the rebuild. Fix that before anyone sees it.

Six design rules worth keeping

What good AI feedback usually comes back to. Use them to judge its answer, too.

  1. 1

    Start with the question

    Every dashboard answers one main question for one audience. Put that answer where the eye lands first: top left.

  2. 2

    KPIs first, details after

    Read it like a story: headline numbers, then the trend, then the breakdown, then the detail table.

  3. 3

    Pick charts by their job

    Trend over time: line. Comparing items: sorted bars. Part of a whole: a stacked bar, or a pie with two or three slices at most. Exact values: a table.

  4. 4

    One highlight color

    Keep everything neutral and use one color for what needs attention, like the regions below target.

  5. 5

    Label directly

    Put names and values on the chart itself. Drop legends, borders, and heavy gridlines when you can.

  6. 6

    Align to a grid

    Same margins, same gaps, same card heights. White space is part of the design, not wasted space.
