Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 can assist organizations to simplify and automate the integration of business processes and unify data across applications into data warehouses for reporting and for descriptive and predictive analytics.
At SnapLogic, our vision is to deliver frictionless integration and automation. We have helped pioneer the incorporation of AI and ML technology to streamline the integration, automation, and orchestration of data flows across enterprises. Our Iris AI solution, trained against over 7 petabytes of metadata, has already provided tremendous value to our customers over the last six years. We are now actively exploring the use of GPT-4 to enhance our platform capabilities further.
What we’ve seen so far
At SnapLogic, we have been prototyping a variety of integration and automation use cases using ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) to connect intent expressed in business language with technical implementation to realize the business goal. We wanted to see how GPT-4’s increased reasoning and longer prompt support improved our integration-based use cases.
We have been rapidly testing and comparing our previous prompts against both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. In addition, we have been experimenting with completely new and more demanding use cases. So far we are extremely impressed with the improved accuracy of the GPT-4 responses. It is worth noting that GPT-4 is currently more expensive per token (prompt length) and slightly slower in response generation. That said, the cost and time seem justified for the improved response accuracy.
Our interest is driven by the enormous pressure that enterprises face to increase agility while reducing costs. In our work, we find that process and data fragmentation from the simultaneous proliferation of departmental SaaS apps, the growing use of public and homegrown APIs, and the explosion of heterogeneous data from departmental business systems are some of the biggest obstacles to enterprise agility.
Introducing SnapGPT
SnapLogic recently announced the release of SnapGPT, the first-ever generative AI solution for enterprise applications and the modern data stack. The new addition to the SnapLogic platform leverages AI to quickly integrate and automate business processes using natural language prompts.
With SnapGPT, IT and business users will be able to accelerate business innovation by automating and integrating data flows at speeds never seen before. Integrations that used to take weeks to deliver can now be generated to achieve rapid results in minutes. Business users simply specify their integration requirements in natural language and SnapGPT does the rest by creating all the necessary processing flows, expressions, or scripts needed to complete the task faster and more accurately than ever before.
Unpacking the business benefits of SnapGPT
- Building on Innovation: SnapLogic has been a pioneer in incorporating AI and ML technology to simplify the integration, automation, and orchestration of data flows across the enterprise. SnapGPT will deliver the industry’s only specialized LLM (Large Language Model) trained against petabytes of integration and automation metadata accumulated from over six years of usage. This new addition to SnapLogic builds on the company’s pioneering legacy and track record of delivering an intelligent integration solution.
- Accelerating Business: Companies have been using AI for years to help crunch large amounts of data to produce insights for their businesses. SnapGPT enables business agility and flexibility in an ever-changing market. Businesses require a dynamic infrastructure that enables them to quickly pivot their business strategy to respond to rapid changes, especially in times of turbulence.
- Boosting Productivity: With SnapGPT, IT and business users will be able to automate and integrate data flows and build integration pipelines with ease. For example, a “Quote to Cash” product owner could specify their business intent in natural language to automatically create an invoice in NetSuite when an opportunity is marked “Closed Won” in Salesforce.com. SnapGPT can translate the intent into a complete pipeline with suggested filters, mapping, and transformation required to complete the task.
Continuing the conversation: what’s next?
At SnapLogic, we are excited to see the potential of GPT-4 and look forward to exploring its capabilities further as we continue to deliver our long-standing vision of frictionless integration and automation. We are moving fast, and are confident that by collaborating with the SnapLogic community, we will be able to deliver a new experience that is transformational in terms of time to value — delivering results to the business at both the top and bottom line.
