1. Going further & faster with AI
Welcome to this video on AI-powered features in DataLab! AI is transforming the way we work with data, making it easier to fix errors, generate code, and enhance productivity. Here, you’ll learn how to leverage the AI assistant to streamline your workflow and get more done more quickly. Let’s get started!
2. Introducing the AI Assistant
The AI assistant in DataLab acts as our coding companion.
Whether we need to fix an error,
generate new code,
or modify existing code, AI assistance is here to support us. Let’s explore its key features.
3. Understanding and fixing errors with AI
One of the most useful AI features is error fixing. When an error occurs, the AI assistant not only identifies the issue but also explains it in simple terms. Even better, it suggests fixes that we can apply instantly, helping us learn while resolving problems efficiently.
Before applying an AI-generated fix, it's important to review the changes. The AI assistant presents a diff view, allowing you to see exactly what’s being modified.
4. Reviewing AI-suggested fixes
Lines starting with a minus and highlighted in red are original code that it proposes to remove or modify, and lines starting with a plus highlighted in green are new proposed lines to add to the cell.
This helps you understand the correction, compare versions, and decide whether to accept the fix or make further adjustments.
5. Asking AI for help
The 'Ask AI' feature lets us generate code effortlessly. Say we need help writing a custom function, we simply ask the AI Assistant and it provides us with an initial draft we can test.
6. AI Assistant help with SQL
What if we need help structuring a SQL query? We can ask the AI to help us answer a question and AI assistant does the rest!
7. Modify code with AI
Beyond generating new code, the AI assistant can also help refine existing code. Whether we need to improve efficiency, add comments, or debug an issue, 'Ask AI' can provide targeted suggestions.
Be sure to review the changes before accepting them.
