Just ask ChatGPT… or there’s Explore…
‘Imagine having all the data you need right at your fingertips, ready to answer your questions and reveal insights with a simple query. Boldlens’ new feature, ‘Explore’, offers just that an unprecedented way to interact with your data effortlessly. How do we know? Every word read so far was a product of AI.
Since the release of ChatGPT and other popular Large Language Models LLMs such as Gemini or Claude, the way people work has shifted dramatically. For example, OpenAI were able to generate a web app from a sketch on a napkin. These tools can work as an idea generator, a personal writer and coding assistant. They are all available to anyone at the click of a few buttons, to the average person it seems as though it can do just about anything.
A Large Language Model is a form of artificial intelligence that through Natural Language processing can understand and interpret human language. Previously the only way to communicate with a computer was through specific coding languages, but advancements in technology means we can now use regular language. These models are rapidly advancing in their complexity, with ChatGPT recently being tested as having a verbal IQ of 155, or in the top 0.1% of the population. With this level improvement in their capabilities, the question becomes. How can we make use of these advancements in technology?
Issues with Large Language Models:
Whilst Large Language Models have shown to be very helpful for many tasks, it is impossible for them to understand and answer everything. For example, if asked a question on a topic it is less knowledgeable about; two outcomes will usually happen. Either it will admit that it does not have the information to answer, or it will ‘hallucinate’. This is where the model will generate a response and just fill in the gaps where it does not have knowledge.
To overcome this issue, we can undertake a process called Retrieval Augmented Generation RAG, where we are able to add to the model’s knowledge. RAG allows us to train the model on information that it did not previously have, for example, the data available on Boldlens. If you asked ChatGPT a question about how many sessions your website had last month, it would not have the answer. However, we can train a LLM to understand your data so questions like this can be answered. This will allow users to not only access any data point very quickly but also assist users in discovering insights from their data.
