Hi you all!

 

I would like to know a bit more about your experience with AI on Thinkwise up until now. The company I work for and me myself have interest in working and knowing more about AI in relation to Thinkwise. A few questions come to mind:

 

Are there a lot of people currently using AI to develop? If you work with AI, what has your experience been like?
Which current model (OpenAI) does fit best for Thinkwise (for each connector)?

Are there any plans to add more AI providers to Thinkwise (I'd actually love to work with Claude (anthropic)?

AI is a great tool, if you know how to use it (as with most tools). However the quality can highly differ depending on which model you use. 

I currently use chatgpt: gpt-4o

The difference between gpt 3 and gpt 4 is night and day. 3 gave a lot of unwanted imperfect results. 4 is very accurate and can help you fine tune your prompts to perfection. For more advanced logic I would advise chaining commands as AI tends to make mistakes when the request is too long. So I usually break a request into a bunch of smaller requests. 

What I use AI for: In enrichments I create data for an empty database to get real mock data that actually has references and lookups and is restricted to the data model (domains, constraints etc). That way i can quickly fill a database with some mock data instead of having to insert everything by hand. 


Having developed several Enrichments that make use of AI, I notice its potential for the Software Factory. We use the gpt-4o model and it works quite well. Getting to a prompt that works all the time is a long road and requires a lot of trial and error. I did notice that using prompt-chaining was a good way to keep the LLM focused on the task at hand rather than hallucinating or deviating from what was desired to receive.

For developing the model itself, I don't use it but for writing logic and stored procedures such as Tasks, it is great! Github Copilot is a great extension that helps with a lot of the code that has to be written, such as auto-generating Join clauses or auto-completing variables and functions.

If there are any Generative AI providers that you miss in the Thinkwise platform, feel free to create an Idea here on the Community.
