Make complex data analytics practical and approachable
701ai is being built for people who understand the business problem and want help working through the data. It helps you develop enduring analytics without needing a data science background.
Illustrative workflow — synthetic data
The sequence below describes how the workflow is intended to run. It uses synthetic files and is an explanation, not a screenshot of the shipped application.
- 1
The question
“Which products drove the change in gross margin this month?” You start with synthetic monthly sales, product, and cost files.
- 2
The decisions that matter
How margin is defined, how products match between files, and how returns are treated. These are confirmed with you, not guessed silently.
- 3
The proposed calculation
A readable calculation you can inspect and edit, followed by a result table you can check against what you already know.
- 4
The next month
Save the method and rerun it when compatible files arrive. A changed column, definition, or question may require review and adaptation.
You bring the judgment.
Confirm the business meanings and review the approach. Newly generated or changed calculations run after you choose Run.
The calculation stays inspectable.
SQL and Python are available to read and edit; you don't start from a blank notebook.
The next run starts with prior work.
Compatible saved methods can run without another model call. Changes may require additional AI assistance and provider usage.
For where files, calculations, and model requests go, see Your data & AI.
Examples of where it may fit
Monthly performance reporting
The same set of questions, every cycle, against a new set of files.
Investigating differences across exports
Two systems disagree and you need to explain why, not just by how much.
Recurring client analysis
Reuse an approach across engagements with similar data shapes.
These are examples of intended fit, not customer case studies.
Questions
- Do I need to be a programmer or a Data Scientist?
- 701ai is designed for people who understand their business question. It translates your knowledge of the business to develop the calculation, and makes the code available when you want to inspect or change it.
- What files can I use?
- Excel, CSV/TSV, Parquet, JSON, and compressed data files, with text/document sources available as supporting context.
- Does it replace my judgment?
- No, it augments it — your knowledge powers 701ai to go deeper.
- Can I reuse an analysis?
- Saved methods are intended for repeat use with compatible data. A changed schema or business definition may need an updated method.
