Introduction to DataLab
DataLab is an AI data analysis platform that allows users to analyze data in a conversational manner and view, adjust, and run data analysis code to gain AI-based insights.
DataLab provides free and paid versions. The free version can create up to three new data documents and can be used for a total of 20 interactive activities. The paid version can be used more times. DataLab is built using LLM technology and can convert users’ natural language into Python code or SQL statements. DataLab supports a variety of data formats, including CSV files, Google Sheets, common databases (such as Mongo DB), etc.

How to Use DataLab
We use DataLab to test some simple functions. First we use a given data set and ask DataLab to draw a bar chart through a conversation. DataLab generates an image in a few seconds and provides a text describing the image. We continue to ask for the summary value of all data and get the correct result. These tests prove that DataLab can complete simple data analysis functions.
We continue to test more complex features such as regression analysis. First create a new worksheet and upload a csv document. We asked DataLab to describe the data, and DataLab displayed a part of the data and described the average and other characteristics of the data. Then we asked DataLab to perform regression analysis using one dependent variable and several independent variables. DataLab gave the parameters of the regression analysis results and a paragraph of text to explain the regression analysis.
Judging from the usage results, DataLab can use AI to complete complex data analysis work. We click Code in the upper right corner of the page to enter the code page of the worksheet. DataLab’s data analysis is mainly completed based on Python, and its output results are consistent with the results after running Python. Now that we have mastered Python, we can modify these codes and output new results. DataLab adds comments to many Python statements for user convenience.
In addition to the code page, DataLab also provides a report page that displays the running results. We can select appropriate content on the report page for writing a data analysis report.
Summary
As an AI data analysis platform, DataLab can complete complex data analysis functions and is worth trying by users.
