Creating Dataiku Stories

Dataiku Stories allows you to build contextualized, interactive, and up-to-date data presentations so that you can understand and share the stories hidden in your data. The very first step before creating a Dataiku Story is to create a Workspace and invite the users who will create and read the Stories. In that centralized workspace, Stories can be created using datasets sourced from projects across the company.

The aim of a Dataiku Story is to be shared and read by a community of users who need to interact with this content.

A story is the object created in a workspace and that contains all the slides you want to create for later presentation and collaboration.

Through a drag-and-drop visual interface or using generative AI, you can collaboratively create meaningful content. Content that can be created in the slides are:

  • charts and filters: created from the datasets and updated as the data changes

  • texts, shapes, images and videos

  • collaboration: annotations and comments

Generative AI (Gen AI) features

Dataiku stories includes many Gen AI tools to help you build the best stories from your data, helping users get to grips with the tool by using text and prompts ranging from the simplest to the most specific ones. They are involved in many different ways:

  • Presentation assistant: You can give instructions to generate a complete presentation with slides, charts, texts and images. You can also give instructions to modify existing slides, charts, texts or images, whether they were created using Gen AI tools or manually. Hence, you can take an iterative approach where you first ask for generating a presentation and then provide more instructions on what needs to be adjusted on created slides, like adding filters, creating or customizing different elements, adding more slides, etc.

  • Chart assistant : Focuses specifically on charts. With the chart assistant, you can generate charts and modify their settings such as the titles, colors, border styles, and more.

  • Image assistant : Generates images on demand through the text helper or other options such as the Media menu.

  • Text helper : Helps you generate a paragraph or an image based on simple words. When you click on a small text, you have the option to Generate a paragraph or Generate image, which calls the text helper to generate a few sentences or a usable image, respectively, based on the text input. Once generated, you can apply this content as is, regenerate, or discard it otherwise.
