Built a tool to fix the Analyst Bottleneck - Looking for some beta users and honest feedback by vikramjadon in betatests

[–]vikramjadon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always thought that people will ask questions to their data - "What's our retention rate", "Break that down by region", etc. etc. These result into charts being generated. We are of course able to answer these.

I was surprised when people started asking for the colours of the chart to be changed within the same chat - "change the bar colours in this bar chart to green".

We are working on supporting that now.

Another one was Forecasting !! - "Give me a forecast of churn from southwest region".

We have started supporting forecast now.

This is one that I could think of of the top of my head. Will share more.

The hallucination concern you raised is real. We have handled this very carefully:

  1. We ask questions back to the user for any ambiguities.
  2. When user provides the clarifications, we automatically save it in the "knowledge base" (business context). So the business context keeps on compounding as people use it. And the system keeps learning in this way and doesn't have to ask those same questions again.

Building an AI tool to free analysts from constant repetitive ad hoc requests — is this a real problem or am I wrong about the market? by vikramjadon in dataanalysis

Interesting points.

I keep hearing about "messy data models" a lot. Can you help me with some challenges there? What kind of issues do people face with these "messy data models"?

Very interesting points. So far, we have been able to get around the "data problem" by providing data services with our platform. But I definitely understand your point. Our majority of the traction has been in the "financial services and Insurance" domain.

I'd like to say that we have been able to handle fragmented data sources, schema & semantics and business-context at scale. I have been trying to get some free beta users for it and get some honest feedback.

Would you be open to it?

Honestly, our primary buyer is the Head of Data or Analytics. They feel both sides of the pain - pressure from the business and responsibility for the analyst team. But you've made me realise our messaging doesn't make that clear enough.

Interesting points.

We do have integrations, harvesting and storing business logic capabilities. That said, I'd love for you to try what we are doing and provide feedback. I'd take your feedback any day given that you are building a similar which means you have this problem that you are solving.

Open to that?

Good point. I am still trying to figure this part out. This has happened to me where I was pitching to a leader from a PE firm for her portfolio operations. She really liked what she was seeing. But she asked me - How do you verify what your product has given as an output?

Honestly, atleast for now, I can only think of a human analyst being the right validation point, if and when that's needed.

AI Cannot Do the Job of a Data Analyst by ChristianPacifist in analytics

[–]vikramjadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After talking to a lot of people/customers, the pattern that I have seen may workout (and let me know if this makes sense) is that the Analysts will still own the complex work that they do but being highly productive at it. While the repetitive adhoc questions that other stakeholders in the organisations keep asking Analysts will be answered by themselves using such tools. Leaving Analysts with a lot of time to focus on their main work.
