The conversation also touches on potential solutions and the next steps for testing and implementation.
32:37 The Project of Using LM Agent to Address Data Query Issues in the Team
This section is about a presentation by Hao Xu representing the item team. They have around 4.5 people working on the project. The team is addressing the issue of numerous ad hoc data-related queries and exploring using an LM agent to assist. They avoid giving raw data to third-party vendors due to privacy concerns and are building a system with three major components for processing and answering queries.
40:52 Overview of Components and Features in Data Query and Processing Framework
This section covers various aspects including direct data query methods, use of data frame APIs and Linux projects for metadata. It discusses the core component agent controlling aspects like prompts and tools. Workflow customization, built-in tools, prompt templates, vector stores, data catalogs, and their relationships are also mentioned.
49:49 Overview of Hao Xu's Project and Call for Contributions
This section covers the use of Python and various technologies for building an application. It mentions an integrated notebook environment for query modification and interaction. Three teams are currently using ITA. The project is in an early stage, lacks cloud deployment, needs robust testing and automation. It was recently renamed and those interested can reach out. There are no questions today and a next person introduction is planned.
