Microsoft Research releases Flint-interactive, a language for AI-generated interactive data visualizations

Microsoft Research released Flint-interactive, a language built on Flint that lets agents and developers create interactive data visualizations through high-level semantic events and update operators. Flint's compiler handles hit testing, layout, rendering and visual dependencies, so users specify interactions such as linked brushing, highlighting or viewport changes without writing low-level visualization code. It is available through Flint-MCP and MCP Apps in chat environments, the Flint Interactive Canvas for dashboards and data stories, and a programming API for bespoke interactions.
