Build Dataproducts

How Dataknobs help in building data products

Enterprises are most successful when they treat data like a product. It enable to use data in multiple use cases. However data product should be designed differently compared to software product.

Be Data Centric and well governed

Generative AI is one of approach to build data product

Generative AI has enabled many transformative scenarios. We combine generative AI, AI, automation, web scraping, ingesting dataset to build new data products. We have expertise in generative AI, but for business benefit we define our goal to build data product in data centric manner. Our Product KREATE enable creation of data, user interface, AI assistant. Click to see it in action.

Well Governed data

Data Lineage and Extensibility

To build a commercial data product, create a base data product. Then add extension to these data product by adding various types of transformation. However it lead to complexity as you have to manage Data Lineage. Use knobs for lineage and extensibility

Build Budget Plan for GenAI

CIO Guide to create GenAI Budget for 2025

CIOs and CTOs can apply GenAI in IT Systems. The guide here describe scenarios and solutions for IT system, tech stack, GenAI cost and how to allocate budget. Once CIO and CTO can apply this to IT system, it can be extended for business use cases across company.

KONTROLS - apply creatvity with responsbility

KONTROLS enable adding guardrails, lineage, audit trails and governance. KOntrols recogizes that different use cases for Gen AI and AI have varying levels of control requirements. Kontrols provide structure to select right controls.

What is KNOBS

KNOBS - Experimentation and Diagnostics

Well defined tunable paramters for LLM API, LLM fine tuning , Vector DB. These parameters enable faster experimentation and diagosis for every state of GenAI development - chunking, embedding, upsert into vector DB, retrievel, generation and creating responses for AI Asistant.

Create AI Agent

Build AI Agents - 5 types

AI agent independently chooses the best actions it needs to perform to achieve their goals. AI agents make rational decisions based on their perceptions and data to produce optimal performance and results. Here are features of AI Agent, Types and Design patterns

Develop data products with KREATE and AB Experiment

Develop data products and check user response thru experiment

As per HBR Data product require validation of both 1. whether algorithm work 2. whether user like it. Builders of data product need to balance between investing in data-building and experimenting. Our product KREATE focus on building dataset and apps , ABExperiment focus on ab testing. Both are designed to meet data product development lifecycle

Innovate with experiments

Experiment faster and cheaper with knobs

In complex problems you have to run hundreds of experiments. Plurality of method require in machine learning is extremely high. With Dataknobs approach, you can experiment thru knobs.

RAG For Unstructred and Structred Data

RAG Use Cases and Implementation

Here are several value propositions for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) across different contexts: Unstructred Data, Structred Data, Guardrails.

Why knobs matter

Knobs are levers using which you manage output

See Drivetrain appproach for building data product, AI product. It has 4 steps and levers are key to success. Knobs are abstract mechanism on input that you can control.
