Visual representation of data like charts and tables can be challenging to understand for readers.

In this work we present an NLG chatbot that processes natural language queries and provides insights through a combination of charts and text. We apply it to nutrition, a domain communication quality is critical. Through crowd-sourced evaluation we compare the informativeness of our chatbot against traditional, static diet-apps. We find that the conversational context significantly improved users' understanding of dietary data in various tasks, and that users considered the chatbot as more useful and quick to use than traditional apps.
