Ask Polar: Enhanced Mode FAQs
What is Enhanced Mode in Ask Polar?
Enhanced Mode is a new feature in Ask Polar that allows GPT-4 to look at your data and derive further insights from it. Unlike the basic mode, in which we use GPT-4 to generates a SQL query and a report based on a question you ask, the enhanced mode sends the values from the report back to the GPT4 for analysis. This enables Ask Polar to provide more detailed and personalized responses.
How is Enhanced Mode different from Basic Mode?
In Basic Mode, Ask Polar is faster because it has less computing to do, and it excels at generating reports and visualizing data. The reports are of the same quality in both modes. However, in Enhanced Mode, GPT-4 receives the data from your report, analyzes it, and derives further insights. This allows for more detailed and insightful answers to your questions.
What are the benefits of using Enhanced Mode?
Enhanced Mode allows for deeper insights and more precise responses. Ask Polar is not only able to generate a report based on your question, but it also analyzes the data to answer your question in detail. This allows for a greater understanding of the data and enables better decision-making.
Does using Enhanced Mode pose any privacy concerns?
Yes, it does involve some privacy considerations. In Enhanced Mode, your data is sent to OpenAI for processing. Although this data is anonymized and the risk of identification is very limited, user consent is required. OpenAI does not use API data to train its models and only retains the data for 30 days for misuse and abuse purposes.
Can Enhanced Mode identify brands or personal information?
While it's true that anonymized data is sent to OpenAI, it's important to be aware that some reports may still contain potentially identifiable information such as product names or even customer names. That's why Enhanced Mode is not turned on by default but only when you choose to use it.
Can Enhanced Mode perform complex operations on my data?
Yes, Enhanced Mode is designed to handle a wide variety of operations and can provide insights on numerous aspects of your data. It can perform tasks like computing median values, summing values, and answering complex questions about various data points. In essence, Enhanced Mode transforms Ask Polar into a more intelligent assistant that can provide deeper insights into your data.
