What is business intelligence? For me, it’s about using data to create real value for your business. Some think BI is a tool like PowerBI and Tableau, but those are just the final step—front-end tools that deliver the reports you need. True business intelligence is the whole process, from gathering data to turning it into actionable insights that help businesses make informed decisions. In this podcast episode, we dive into how to start simple and build your BI journey from the ground up. https://bit.ly/3Yuzh3c #DataArchitecture #DataDriven #MoreThanReports #PowerBI Listen On👇 -Spotify: https://bit.ly/3BPWHqF -Apple: https://bit.ly/3UkVOwW -Amazon: https://bit.ly/4fbdEdM -YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gr8AhbFJ

You probably have already seen #NotebookLM in action ... the "Audio Overview" or "Podcast" feature is getting a lot of attention: https://lnkd.in/dSEgQ7C8 This example is on a slightly different perspective; we know #LLMs are great to understand #unstructured_data, process it, get embeddings, search, extract, ... but, what about #structured_data? I just tried NotebookLM with a CSV file containing sport tracking data, exported directly from the web, and with no other context. Well, the first line of the file contains the headers. In 2 minutes you can start getting insights from your data by just asking the notebook in natural language. Turn on the volume to listen to the podcast!!! A more business oriented use case will mean calling those #LLMs within a data pipeline ... check this article (by the great Luis Velasco) leveraging #BigQuery as an example: https://lnkd.in/dgaWhqDi
