N2 - We present AskTable, an interactive system designed to support iterative construction of visual data stories for tabular data. AskTable enables users to explore, organize, and narrate data insights by combining structured subspace filtering, semantic insight graphs, and LLM-driven recommendations. The AskTable system employs a radial insight tree that visualizes user-driven analytical paths through a force-directed layout, allowing branching, modification, and backtracking during exploration. Users can interactively pin, query, and refine insights, while the system responds with relevant follow-up recommendations powered by a reasoning module, enabling the incremental construction of narrative data stories.
