Outlines
๐ป Introduction to Julius AI
Alex introduces Julius AI, an advanced data analyst AI capable of writing and executing code, analyzing various file types like Excel, CSV, PDF, Word documents, and images, and searching the web. Julius can perform these tasks in unison and is showcased with an NBA awards dataset. The script demonstrates uploading a file and using the 'sidekick' feature for quick analysis, such as counting unique players. The AI also generates Python code for detailed analysis and visualizations.
๐ Visualizations and Kernel Switching
The script continues with Alex interacting with the AI to create visualizations and summaries of the NBA data. He shows how to customize visualizations, such as changing titles and colors, and downloading charts. Alex then demonstrates switching kernels from Python to R to cater to different user preferences, rerunning the analysis with R code instead of Python.
๐ Improving Data Quality and Custom Instructions
Alex discusses how Julius AI can suggest improvements to poorly formatted spreadsheets, using the 'sidekick' feature to fix issues like headers and blank rows. He also introduces custom instructions, allowing users to set preferences such as language, and shows how these settings affect the AI's responses.
๐ Olympics Query and Model Chat
In this segment, Alex tests Julius AI's ability to search the internet for information not included in its pre-training data, like querying results of the Olympics. He also explores 'model chat', a feature that provides access to more AI models by turning off other tools, allowing for pure conversation with the underlying AI.
๐ Rerunning and Editing Code Blocks
Alex demonstrates the ability to rerun and edit code blocks in Julius AI, allowing for quick adjustments and re-execution of code. He also introduces 'workflows', a series of tasks that the user and AI can perform in sequence to achieve a goal, such as visualizing data within a spreadsheet.
๐ Creating and Running Workflows
The script shows Alex creating a new workflow for sales report data analysis, specifying steps for the AI to follow, including data upload, user input for region selection, and tasks like finding top customers and visualizing sales data. He runs the workflow and discusses the process, including handling errors and self-correction by Julius AI.
๐ PDF Analysis and Secrets Feature
Alex demonstrates Julius AI's capability to analyze PDF documents, retrieving information from a track competition document. He also introduces the 'secrets' feature, which allows users to securely input sensitive information like API keys for tasks such as connecting to databases or using specific APIs.
๐ Real-time Metrics and Converting Chat to Workflow
In the final part, Alex shows advanced reasoning with real-time container health metrics, such as RAM and CPU usage, during tasks. He also demonstrates the 'convert to workflow' feature, which allows users to save a chat as a workflow for future analysis, using the example of trading stocks with Alpaca.
