OpenAI has announced significant improvements to data analysis in ChatGPT, powered by their new GPT-4o model. This update includes several features that streamline the data analysis process for users.
First, ChatGPT now allows direct file uploads from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. This means users can access and analyze data stored in cloud services without downloading and uploading files, making the process more efficient and convenient.
Once the files are uploaded, users can interact with tables and charts in a new expandable view, enabling a more immersive analysis experience. The expandable view allows users to focus on the data and have a dynamic back-and-forth with ChatGPT, asking follow-up questions and digging deeper into the insights revealed.
Additionally, the ability to customize and download charts enhances the presentation-readiness of the output. Users can now select colors, hover over chart elements, and ask additional questions to refine their visualizations. This ensures that the charts are not just informative but also aesthetically pleasing and ready for use in professional presentations or documents.
These enhancements further establish ChatGPT as a powerful tool for data analysis, combining natural language processing with an intuitive understanding of datasets. By generating code and handling various data tasks, from merging datasets to creating charts, ChatGPT assists both beginners exploring data and experts seeking time-saving solutions for routine tasks.
As with all ChatGPT features, OpenAI emphasizes comprehensive security and privacy measures.
We don’t train on data from ChatGPT Team and Enterprise customers, and ChatGPT Plus users can opt out of training through their Data Controls.
The rollout of these data analysis improvements to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users over the coming weeks will undoubtedly be welcomed by professionals seeking to leverage the power of AI in their data-driven endeavors.
