Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface microsoft/lida, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition README opening to clarify LIDA is a library for generating visualization code.
Why:
CURRENTLIDA is a library for generating data visualizations and data-faithful infographics. LIDA is grammar agnostic (will work with any programming language and visualization libraries e.g. matplotlib, seaborn, altair, d3 etc) and works with multiple large language model providers (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, PaLM, Cohere, Huggingface).
COPY-PASTE FIXLIDA is an **AI-powered Python library** designed for **generating data visualization code and infographics** from natural language prompts. Unlike full-fledged BI platforms, LIDA provides a programmatic workflow for data scientists and developers, offering grammar-agnostic support for various visualization libraries (e.g., Matplotlib, Seaborn, Altair, D3) and multiple large language models (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, PaLM, Cohere, Huggingface).
- mediumtopics#2Add more specific topics related to natural language to code generation for visualizations.

COPY-PASTE FIXcohere, datavisualization, hacktoberfest, llm, openai, openai-api, palm2, visualization, natural-language-processing, code-generation, data-viz-code, ai-visualization, text-to-viz
- lowcomparison#3Add a 'Why LIDA?' or 'How is LIDA different?' section to the README.
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Why LIDA? LIDA stands out by offering a **structured, programmatic workflow for AI-driven data analysis and visualization generation**, specifically focusing on **generating executable code**. Unlike general-purpose BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) that offer drag-and-drop interfaces, or basic visualization libraries (e.g., Matplotlib, Seaborn) that require manual coding, LIDA bridges the gap by: * **Automating code generation:** Translates natural language goals into visualization code. * **Multi-LLM support:** Works with various LLM providers, offering flexibility. * **Grammar-agnostic output:** Generates code compatible with popular visualization libraries. * **Focus on developers/data scientists:** Provides an API for integrating AI-driven visualization into workflows.
