What can we learn from the Olympic Analyst GPT for the world of Business Analytics?

• Accessibility: The tool’s ability to quickly respond to natural language queries is empowering users to get insights directly, without needing complex reports or heavy technical input. This goes beyond ‘chatting to your data’, it is offering analysts the opportunity to interrogate their data.
• Real-time Analysis: The ability to respond to live events and rapidly shifting interests highlights the agility and responsiveness of GPTs. For example, we noticed a lot of queries focusing on athlete age data, which we hadn’t initially included. We were able to quickly add this new data set without having to rebuild reports or analytics. For business, this can open up a new form of flexibility and market responsiveness never before available.
• Tuning: As analysts know, anything less than 100% accurate is wrong and once analysts passed the initial ‘playing around stage’ of the GPT they realised that ‘verified queries’ were the protection needed to change this from a gimmick to a very valuable analytics tool. Verodat provided a number of ‘human verified’ queries, offering 100% trust in the accuracy of the answers and full provenance on the data involved. We also offered an option to get your own query verified, an option we saw a big jump in people availing of as they got more familiar with the tool. 
• Imagine this was MY data: A key thing to emerge from the use of the Olympics Analyst GPT has been an appreciation of what this kind of tool could do for users’ own analytics needs. We have been contacted by many users with one simple question – can we swap out athletes, times and Games data for information about my business? The answer is yes. Our clients user Verodat to get their data AI ready, allowing them to very easily use this kind of tool for their own business.  Instead of questions about the trends in the long jump over the last 120 years, they can perform complex risk analysis with the same ease.
