Narrative Science, the leader in natural language generation (NLG) for the enterprise, announces Narratives for Tableau, a new extension built with the recently released Tableau Extension API and powered by Narrative Science.

In simplifying the ability for Tableau users to glean insights from their data, they are freed up to spend more time on analysis and less on administrative tasks.”
