INSIGHTS WIZARD

An automated data analysis and storytelling tool.

Inspiration

The inspiration behind INSIGHTS WIZARD stems from the growing need for accessible and intuitive data analysis tools. As businesses and individuals increasingly rely on data to make informed decisions, there’s a gap in the market for tools that simplify the process of extracting insights from complex datasets. I wanted to create a solution that not only generates meaningful reports but also does so in a user-friendly way, allowing users of all technical backgrounds to benefit from their data.

What it does

INSIGHTS WIZARD is a powerful tool that transforms raw data into insightful, easy-to-understand reports. Users can upload their data files, describe the contents, and let the wizard generate a comprehensive report that includes key findings, summaries, and conclusions. Additionally, the tool supports multiple languages, ensuring that users can access these insights in their preferred language, making it versatile and accessible to a global audience.

How I built it

INSIGHTS WIZARD was built using a combination of modern web technologies and AI-driven backend services. The frontend is crafted with React, leveraging Canva’s design APIs to create visually appealing reports and user interfaces. The backend, developed in Python and deployed on Render, handles data analysis and report generation. For the backend, Google's Gemini Pro LLM was used for the analysis and summarization of the data. Gemini Pro was chosen as the LLM of choice due to its large context window, of 1 million tokens. I also integrated a language translation feature using Google’s language models, enabling on-the-fly translations for multilingual support.

NOTE: Due to development and testing efforts for this project, a hard-limit of 1,000 rows has been placed on the number of records that Insights Wizard is allowed to analyze. In future production releases, this hard limit will be adjusted or removed to allow for larger data sets of information to be uploaded.

Challenges I ran into

One of the major challenges was implementing the language translation feature in a way that was both efficient and scalable. Ensuring that the translation process didn’t slow down report generation was critical. Additionally, managing rate limits while adding new pages to reports and handling the asynchronous nature of image uploads presented technical hurdles that required creative solutions.

In addition, I have also included a feature to adjust the creativity levels of the output generated. This is still an experimental feature and is also under development. This feature will be ready soon and will also be made available with the final production version of the application. This feature allows the user to toggle how creative they want their outputs to sound. A slider control is implemented that controls how creative the user wants the output to sound.

NOTE: The language translation and creativity features are still under development and not ready for this release. It requires further development and testing before it is rolled out to a finalized production version.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

I am incredibly proud of successfully integrating a seamless user experience where complex processes like data analysis and translation happen effortlessly in the background. The ability to generate insights in multiple languages without requiring the user to regenerate reports is a significant accomplishment. Additionally, overcoming deployment challenges and ensuring the backend was robust enough to handle real-time requests was a major win.

What I learned

Throughout this project, I learned a great deal about optimizing APIs for performance, especially in handling asynchronous tasks and managing state effectively in a dynamic application. The importance of clear communication between frontend and backend services was reinforced, as well as the value of testing and iterating quickly to address any issues that arose.

What's next for INSIGHTS WIZARD

Moving forward, I plan to expand INSIGHTS WIZARD’s capabilities by incorporating more advanced data visualization options and further refining the AI models used for data analysis. I am also considering adding more languages to the translation feature and improving the tool’s adaptability to different data formats. Ultimately, my goal is to make INSIGHTS WIZARD the go-to solution for anyone looking to make sense of their data, no matter where they are in the world.

Future releases of INSIGHTS WIZARD can also be improved to allow for users to upload and store their documents on a cloud platform. This way, users can re-use previously uploaded documents to generate new insights for reports.

Potential Use Cases

INSIGHTS WIZARD has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries. In the business sector, it offers companies the ability to rapidly analyze sales data, customer feedback, and financial reports, streamlining the process of extracting actionable insights. Additionally, INSIGHTS WIZARD is invaluable for creating pitch decks and slide presentations by efficiently gathering, analyzing, and summarizing essential information.

In academia, researchers can leverage INSIGHTS WIZARD to condense large datasets or academic papers, enabling faster reviews and facilitating data-driven decision-making. Furthermore, organizations operating in multilingual environments will benefit greatly from the tool’s robust translation feature, which simplifies the sharing of insights across different regions and languages.
