Flow explanations

Dataiku DSS can generate explanations of project Flows. The feature leverages a Large Language Model (LLM) to do this.

Enabling AI Explain

In order to start using Flow explanations, the AI Explain feature needs to be enabled by an admin.

  • Go to Administration > Settings > OTHER > AI Services

  • Make sure Enable AI Explain is checked

  • Click Save

To enable the feature in Dataiku Cloud you need to be a member of the space_administrators group:

  • Go to the Launchpad > Extensions > AI Services

  • Accept the Dataiku AI Services Terms of Use

  • Make sure Enable AI Explain is checked

  • Click Add

Generating project Flow explanations

  • On the Flow screen open the Flow Actions menu

  • Select Explain Flow

Generating Flow zone explanations

  • On the Flow screen select a zone

  • Select the Actions tab in the right-hand side panel

  • Click Explain

Note

You can generate explanations of project Flows which do not use zones or you can generate explanations of Flow zones. It is currently not possible to generate explanations of Flows with zones.

Explanation options

It is possible to adjust the generated explanations using these options:

  • Language: the natural language of the explanation

  • Purpose: the intended audience of the explanation

  • Length: the verbosity of the explanation

If editing a project or a Flow zone long description you can also choose to let the AI Explain feature generate it and then save it.

Note

The explanations are AI-generated and as such are subject to errors.
