Data Hub introduces Zappy, an AI assistant for administrators, and adds three new external lookup services (PII detection, entity recognition, and OpenAI integration) to its modeling capabilities, along with various performance improvements.

Data Hub enhancements

Zappy - chat to us!

We would like to introduce you to Zappy, our AI powered chat assistant. Zappy is trained on our product so you can use it to ask questions about how to use our features.

Zappy is currently only available to administrators. This will soon become a public feature.

Modeling enhancements

External Lookup Step - additional lookup types

The external lookup step allows connecting to external services to enhance data.

In 2024.6 we released Geocoding and Sentiment analysis. In this release we're adding 3 more services:

  • Personal Identifiable Information
  • Entity detection
  • Open AI
note

We're continuing to build out this feature, therefore it is currently in an experimental stage. We value early feedback, to continue enhancing modeling in Data Hub.

Personal Identifiable Information detection

Personal Identifiable Information (PII) detection service hides information from the input data. All PII can be redacted, or just specific categories.

Entity recognition

Named Entity Recognition identifies and categorizes entities in provided text, for example places, people, organizations and quantities.

OpenAI

OpenAI lets you turn your data into text prompts that is run against OpenAI's Large Language Model (LLM).

Some example uses would be

  • Validating data (Does this transaction look correct?)
  • Categorization (Is this an internal or external customer?)
  • Customer prospecting (On a scale from 1 to 10, does this customer seem interested in the product?)

Two modes are available:

  • Simple: Allows you to ask simple questions about a column of data.
