The design of your charts and graphs are amazing. By the way, I know that currently it's not possible but I would love an update someday with which we can create a moving graphical videos/animation using Columns something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-2nqd6-ZXg Can you think about such an update please?

Columns.ai is the business content generation machine you have been looking for! If you want to convert data into stories, but don't have the time to toil with manually creating charts and infographics then this tool will save the day. Interactive apps and dynamic charts that integrate seamlessly with google sheets has been a game changer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Columns.ai as a tool and as a company because of the white glove treatment that the team has provided to help me get the most out of their software.
