  • Hi - love this, saw it from your LinkedIn post! I created a dataset in the environment and went to inspect and still see only the old menu of options. I do not see a drop down for "Assistant" to Train it or the "Assistant tab as referenced in the blog. Is this not yet available in FDI? We are on 24.R3. Thanks!

  • Hi - this is a very nice feature. I saw this from your LinkedIn post! I went to inspect on the dataset in FDI environment and only see the old menu options. I do not see a drop down for Assitant to Train it or Assistant tab as mentioned in the blog. We are on release 24.R3 on FDI. Thanks!

  • Glad everyone is excited about this feature.

    It is being rolled out progressively by region and shape. Also, note that that the initial release supports datasets with Subject Area support coming soon.

    You can find more information here

  • Hi @Benjamin Arnulf-Oracle @Jacques V.-Oracle ,

    Could you please provide more technical details about the AI Assistant?

    I'm interested in understanding which LLM is used behind the scenes, where the model and indexes are stored, whether it will be possible to change the model in a future release, and if there are any limits on the number and size of datasets that can be indexed... This is just a start, and I’d love to learn more :)

  • Hi @Federico Venturin and thank you for your questions.

    I will reply to the question about the possibility to change the model in a future release. The answer is yes, this is planned and added by Jacques, under safe harbor, in the official product roadmap under the line items:

    •Gen AI BYO-LLM integration (OpenAI)
    •Gen AI BYO-LLM integration (Cohere, llama 3)

    I will let Jacques to reply to the other questions.

  • The model and the model management are entirely managed by Oracle and is not exposed to customers in any way. Our goal is to have the ability to always leverage the best model to support our use case and we plan to continuously evaluate which models perform best for the use case and adapt accordingly over time.

    We optionally plan to support other models in a Bring Your Own license approach where customer provided keys will allow you to leverage public LLMs to power this use case. But the Out-of-the -box default model will not be exposed to customers.

  • All, please find an additional blog from Product Marketing for more information:

    Will there be any details on the rollout dates? Is the rollout just OCPU based? My other question is this feature dependent on the September 2024 update?

  • Hi @Joel , the feature is included in the September 2024 release. Other questions might be answered by @Jacques V.-Oracle if this is allowed.

  • This is great! I just have a quick question—I've completed the indexing, but I don't see the Assistant option. Does this mean it's not available in our environment yet? For reference, I do have administrator access on the box.

    Just curious as the link below says this >

  • @Prch to see if you have access to the AI Assistant you need:

    1. To be using Oracle Analytics Cloud version September 2024.
    2. See the "Assistant" tab beside the "Insights" tab in the right panel.
    3. Have the ability to Index the dataset for "Assistant".

    See screenshot below. If you do not see the options. Then it means that the feature is not rolling out yet for your instance. Oracle Analytics is prioritizing large shapes this month.

  • @Joel,

    Our goal is to make the assistant available at no extra cost to all shapes over the next several releases. as you can imagine a feature that leverages an Oracle managed LLM requires tremendous compute and careful plannig so we are starting with the largest shapes first (10+ OPCUs ) across all supported regions and we will progressively lower that OCPU requirement over the course of the next several months.

    As we get adoption from the initial rollout the exact timeline will become clearer, but our goal is to get everyone onboard at the earliest possible time.

  • I have a usecase where I want to enable this for Subject area, where were exploring selectAI option but Analytics AI assitant seems better than selectAI plugged on top of datawarehouse. could you please share guided steps to enable Select AI assitant on subject area.

    In addition to above request, I see following request coming from different customer base.

    Data Democratization(Data Driven for Everyone)

    ①Text2SQL(Text to SQL(Data))

    ②NL query for Data Acquiring

    ③Data2Text (Data to Natural Language)

    Notify the data contents in natural language at the necessary timing. Threshold analysis. trend analysis (outlier)

    Hi @Benjamin ,

    Our OAC is already using the 16 OCPU's and Sep 2024 updated version, but still I couldn't find the AI Assistant enabled for datasets. Though being a Administrator , DV Content Author not seeing this available for my reporting.

    What other permission or steps that we should do to see this feature available. Can someone give us some input?

    Also, since we are using Subject Area and custom datasets together for some special use cases , will this be used for this combination together for business use cases?

    Thanks

    Senthil
