Insights & Features

MacroVisonomics provides intelligent insights and advanced features to help you understand economic data more deeply.

​

AI-Generated Insights

Access AI-generated analysis through the Insights Panel on the Dashboard after creating your chart. The main dashboard tabs are organized as: Chart - Data - Insights - Forecast.

​

Insights Panel Tabs

The Insights Panel contains six tabs for comprehensive analysis:

​

Research-First Architecture

The insights system uses a research-first approach that gathers information from multiple sources simultaneously before generating analysis:

• Tavily: Real-time news and policy search for current context
• Exa Neural: Deep web search for domain-specific articles
• Perplexity: Grounded causal explanations with inline citations
• FRED: US macro economic structured data (GDP, CPI, unemployment, interest rates)
• OpenAlex: Academic papers and research for scholarly context
• Firecrawl: Primary source document scraping from central banks, government statistics offices, IMF, World Bank, and OECD (covering 20+ countries, 14 indicator categories)

All 6 sources are queried in parallel, and the combined research context is fed into a single AI call that produces insights with inline citations. This delivers results in 5-9 seconds, down from 9-19 seconds in the previous architecture. The system gracefully degrades when any API key is unavailable.

​

Automatic Analysis

When you create a chart and click “Generate” in the Insights tab, the system generates insights including:

​

Insight Components

Each analysis includes indicator names displayed in bold for easy identification:

​

Dual-Axis Insights

When using dual-axis charts with indicators on both left and right Y-axes, the AI analysis includes:

• Correlation analysis between the two indicators
• Relationship patterns (e.g., trade balance from exports vs imports)
• Divergence analysis showing when and why indicators move differently
• Country-specific comparisons of how the relationship varies

​

Example Insight

For a GDP growth comparison chart, you might see:

“In 2024, the United States leads with 2.79% GDP growth versus Canada at 1.56%. The dominant shared pattern is a sharp pandemic-era contraction in 2020 followed by a strong rebound in 2021. Post-rebound, the US shows a rising long-run trend while Canada shows weaker momentum. Both countries exhibit high volatility, implying elevated sensitivity to shocks.”

​

AI Forecasting Analysis

When you enable forecasting in your chart, you can generate AI-powered analysis of your forecast projections.
