AI Agents for Data Analysis
Overview
Implements trustworthy large language model agents. Connect raw data sources, a pool of trusted calculations, and a searchable context layer that demonstrates how to interpret them. Then, deploy data agents that answer questions, log interactions, and can be evaluated and improved over time.
- Fixes an issue with the R code sandbox where the generated policy would be too long when there were thousands of R packages installed.
- A number of improvements to documentation.
