About Bricks

Bricks is for people whose job includes the sentence "can you put this in a dashboard?" It compresses the path from raw file to presentable output: upload a CSV, Excel file, or PDF, and the AI reads the data, picks sensible visualizations, and lays out a professional dashboard or report — then takes edits through chat like a designer-analyst hybrid.

The product's center of gravity is the deliverable, not the analysis session. Brand themes keep client work consistent, exports cover PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, and HTML, dashboards can be embedded live, and Pro adds Tableau and Power BI exports for teams that ultimately live in enterprise BI. That makes Bricks especially strong for agencies, consultants, and operators who produce recurring reports for other people and currently lose hours to chart formatting.

The tradeoffs mirror the focus. Data arrives mostly by upload — live connectors are a Pro feature — so continuously synced reporting is not the default motion. Message metering makes long exploratory sessions a Pro-tier habit. And as a newer product, it lacks the decade of enterprise hardening behind incumbent BI. Bricks wins when the job is transforming files into polished, shareable insight with the least manual work in between.

Key Features

Upload CSV, Excel, or PDF and get a dashboard in seconds
AI chat for editing charts and asking follow-up questions
Professional report generation with brand themes
Exports to PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, Tableau, and Power BI
Embeddable dashboards for client and stakeholder sharing
Full PDF imports for extracting and analyzing document data
Visual boards combining charts, text, and analysis

Bricks meters usage in AI messages — each prompt counts as one, whether it creates a dashboard, edits a chart, or asks for analysis. The Free plan includes 20 messages a month for teams up to 3, enough to see the upload-to-dashboard loop work. Premium at $25/month ($17.50 annual) raises that to 200 messages and adds the export formats — PDF, PPTX, XLSX, HTML — plus spreadsheet and visual board tools. Pro at $100/month ($70 annual) removes the message cap entirely and adds advanced connectors, Tableau and Power BI exports, embeddable dashboards, full PDF imports, and priority support. The practical read: Premium suits an individual producing periodic client or stakeholder reports, while Pro's unlimited messages fit daily analytical work or agency-style reporting across clients. Annual billing saves about 30%, which is meaningful at Pro's price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Bricks different from Rows or Formula Bot?
Bricks optimizes for the finished artifact: you upload a file and it produces a polished dashboard or report you can export or embed. Formula Bot is an analyst chat with visible code. Rows was the live-synced spreadsheet of the category until Superhuman acquired it in 2026 and began winding the standalone product down — many of its users now land on Bricks for report-style work. If your deliverable is a dashboard or deck, Bricks gets there fastest.
What counts as an AI message in Bricks?
Every prompt is one message — generating a dashboard, editing a chart, or asking an analysis question all count equally. The Free plan's 20 messages demonstrate the product; regular reporting fits Premium's 200, and unlimited iteration requires Pro.
Can Bricks replace Tableau or Power BI?
For file-based reporting — someone sends data, you deliver a dashboard — often yes, and far faster. For governed enterprise BI on a data warehouse with modeled metrics, it is a complement rather than a replacement, which is why Bricks exports to Tableau and Power BI instead of pretending to be them.
