Update: 2024-03-03
Description
Summary
Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly captured the attention of the world with their impressive capabilities. Unfortunately, they are often unpredictable and unreliable. This makes building a product based on their capabilities a unique challenge. Jignesh Patel is building DataChat to bring the capabilities of LLMs to organizational analytics, allowing anyone to have conversations with their business data. In this episode he shares the methods that he is using to build a product on top of this constantly shifting set of technologies.
