30 Actual Questions Regulatory AI Can Answer for You

 
The team here at HData has been buzzing with the news of our recent launch. ICYMI, you can now add your own private documents to your HData Library to query with Regulatory AI. Our clients have been asking for a “Private Catalog” since we launched Regulatory AI in May, and we’re already uncovering some really interesting use cases. 

The capabilities of our Regulatory AI tool are expanding fast. It’s clear that artificial intelligence is going to revolutionize the regulatory energy industry, and that HData is leading the way. So many of the folks I talk to are thinking about what it will mean to use AI in their day-to-day work. Just like our customers, we’re excited to see the potential unfold.

First, let’s quickly review how HData’s Regulatory AI works: 

Like most conversant AI tools, Regulatory AI works in a prompt-and-response conversational way. Users log in, ask questions, and get useful, cited answers in just seconds. In order to deliver accurate, relevant answers, Regulatory AI first asks you to specify which documents to include in your query. This step lets you choose documents (just one or multiple) from HData’s Library and/or your own Private Catalog. This step is called “grounding.” It means the AI won’t step out to the internet in search of answers; it stays within the confines of the documents you dictate. In addition to ensuring you avoid “AI hallucinations” in your answers, grounding also means Regulatory AI’s answers come complete with clickable attributions that take you to the document where specific answers were found. 

With that context, let’s take a look at how it gets used. Here are 30 actual questions HData users are asking Regulatory AI:
