Introduction

A number of users have been attempting to use Julius to crunch, analyze, and label columns with textual data. Previously, text analysis in Julius was limited by context windows & Python library limitations — our new feature unlocks this use case. AI Column Generation enables users to utilize AI to create a new column in their data based on a given prompt. This article will guide you through using this feature.

Step 1: Load Your Data

  • Load your spreadsheet or dataset into Julius and start a conversation.

Step 2: Initiating AI Column Generation

  • Once it is loaded, click on "Show Data" attached to the initial message.
  • Click "Generate Column with AI".

Step 3: Selecting a Column and Entering Your Prompt

  • Select the column you'd like to transform, extra data from, or label.
  • A prompt input bar will then appear, where you can enter in your prompt.
  • Once set, hit the "Generate" button to generate a preview of the first 10 rows.

Step 4: Reviewing the AI Output

  • Examine the preview with the existing column and the new AI-generated column side by side.
  • If satisfied with the results, click "Looks Good". Otherwise, click on "Edit prompt" to make adjustments.
  • You can also change the name of the new column in "Edit Prompt" if needed.

Step 5: Applying to All Data

  • Note the warning indicating the number of rows the changes will apply to.
  • Click "Apply to All" to proceed with the changes.
  • For datasets with more than 10 rows, the system processes them in batches of 10 at a time.
