Researchers have developed a new method called \method{} to enable data agents to effectively use charts for analysis. While agents built on ReAct-style loops can perform complex tasks, they primarily rely on text for reasoning, unlike human analysts who leverage visual data. Experiments with a suite of tasks called \probe{} revealed that agents, despite scoring well with self-generated charts, did not consistently utilize them. The \method{} approach distills experience from agent rollouts to teach them when to use text, charts, or both, significantly improving analytical accuracy and visual evidence quality across various LLM backbones without altering model parameters.
