Tim Uckun (Oct 24 2024 at 20:38):I used to work for a company that had an analytics product. We would produce wonderful graphs and reports for people but most business people had a lot of difficulty making use of the dashboards. They couldn't understand what the significance of two lines converging on a graph meant when the data scientist that put together the graph knew the significance even though he had limited domain knowledge.
We ended up selling an add on where our data scientists would actually look at their graphs and make a weekly written report to send to the managers and that turned out to be a big hit.
In the end I don't think people even want to look at dashboards or charts. They just want to be told what's going on. This is where the AI can really help I think. Skip the pretty charts, send an email saying "the last ad campaign you ran did not have a significant impact on sales or foot traffic". That's all they want to know.
Maybe I should get a job at grafana.
