Data Flows
Introduction
Data Flows are a pivotal feature within Nupixl, designed to empower users by automating complex tasks using AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). They allow users to create custom AI-driven workflows that assist in achieving specific objectives, streamlining processes such as website research, contract analysis, blog post creation, document comparison, and chatbot development. By leveraging Data Flows, users can enhance productivity, reduce manual effort, and maintain consistency across tasks.
Understanding Data Flows
What Are Data Flows?
Data Flows are user-created AI tasks or workflows that automate specific objectives set by the user. They act as customizable pipelines where various AI models and software tools are connected to perform a series of actions, culminating in the completion of a complex task.
Key Components
User Objectives: The specific goals or tasks the user wants to achieve.
AI Models (LLMs): Large Language Models like GPT-4 that process and generate human-like text based on input data.
Software Integrations: External tools and platforms (e.g., Google Search, YouTube, Gmail) that Data Flows can interact with to gather information or perform actions.
Customizable Parameters: Options for users to specify or adjust settings within the Data Flow to tailor the output to their needs.
Reusable Workflows: Once created, Data Flows can be saved and reused for future projects, enhancing efficiency.
How Data Flows Work
1. Creating a Data Flow
Objective Definition: Users start by describing what they want the Data Flow to accomplish using natural language.
Example: “Research Company A by visiting their website, finding relevant news articles and videos, generating a report, and emailing a draft to my team.”
Automated Recommendation:
LLM Drafts the Data Flow: Nupixl’s AI analyzes the user’s objective and drafts a recommended Data Flow, suggesting appropriate AI models and software integrations.
Suggested Components:
LLM for Text Generation: To process and generate reports.
Google Search Integration: For gathering web-based information.
YouTube API: To find relevant videos.
Gmail Integration: To automate emailing the report.
Manual Customization:
Users can review and adjust the suggested Data Flow.
Advanced users may manually select specific AI models and tools.
2. Approving and Executing the Data Flow
Review:
Preview the steps involved, data sources, and expected outputs.
Adjustments:
Modify parameters like search keywords or output formats.
Approval:
Once satisfied, approve the Data Flow for execution.
3. Execution
Automated Task Completion:
The Data Flow sequentially executes each step, interacting with AI models and external services as defined.
Monitoring:
Users can monitor progress in real-time, with options to pause or stop the process if necessary.
4. Output and Results
Deliverables:
The final output (e.g., a comprehensive report) is generated as per the user’s objective.
Distribution:
Automatically distribute outputs, such as emailing the report to specified recipients.
5. Saving and Reusing Data Flows
Template Creation:
Save the completed Data Flow within Nupixl for future use.
Sharing:
Optionally share Data Flows with team members or the Nupixl community.
