Robotic Online Intelligence, a Hong Kong-based provider of AI-enhanced automation tools for market research, launches Chart Factory — a software toolkit for deterministic, automated production of pre-defined charts at scale, built for investment research teams and data companies producing chartbooks and investor reports. The release builds on a decade of internal production use at sister company Real Estate Foresight.
HONG KONG, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Robotic Online Intelligence (ROI), a specialist provider of tools for the AI-enhanced automation of market research, introduces Chart Factory — a software toolkit for bespoke automated production of pre-defined charts at scale.
Investment research teams at private equity firms, independent research boutiques, and data companies regularly spend significant time producing chart-heavy deliverables such as quarterly chartbooks, investor reports, LP reports, and client briefing decks. At scale — dozens of pages, hundreds of data points, strict formatting requirements — manual chart production is slow and prone to inconsistency.
Chart Factory addresses this by encoding each chart into a comprehensive set of detailed parameters, making subsequent production runs and modifications highly efficient.
10 YEARS OF INTERNAL PRODUCTION USE
This external release builds on a decade of continuous internal use in research reports, client investor reports, and chartbooks at Real Estate Foresight (REF), an independent market research boutique specialising in China property market research since 2012 and a sister company to Robotic Online Intelligence. Throughout that period, the toolkit has been producing publication-grade charts for institutional investors.
THE APPROACH: GRANULAR PARAMETERISATION
The primary concept behind Chart Factory is the decomposition of each chart into a very detailed parameter set — all the way to the thickness and colour of the line highlighting the latest data point, the consistent colour-coding of axis labels matched to their data series, and precise control of every visual element. Once the charts are encoded, producing a 30-page PowerPoint deck with four charts on each page may take only a few minutes.
For many chart production needs, standard spreadsheets, specialist charting software, or simple scripts are perfectly sufficient. Chart Factory is intended for more advanced, bespoke use cases where precision and consistency at scale matter.
DETERMINISTIC ACCURACY, NOT LLM-GENERATED CHARTS
Chart Factory uses a deterministic approach. Every output is fully reproducible and predictable — there is no variability or hallucination risk associated with large language model-generated charts.
"In investment research, charts are an essential form of communication, and the accuracy bar is very high. That's why in the automation of chart production, a deterministic approach still rules," says Robert Ciemniak, Founder-CEO of Robotic Online Intelligence.
At the same time, Chart Factory is designed to function as a tool within agentic AI workflows. Large language models can help populate chart parameters, select from pre-defined chart templates, or trigger chart production as part of a broader automated research pipeline — combining deterministic reliability with AI-driven workflow orchestration.
DEPLOYMENT
The toolkit can be deployed on an Enterprise SaaS basis, via APIs for integration into proprietary systems, or on-premises for firms with strict data governance requirements. It is also suitable for agentic AI integration.
