GUEST OPINION: OpenAI recently introduced GPT-4, the latest version of its language model. This iteration provides significant improvement in generation and reasoning capability over the GPT-3 models. We believe GPT-4 and successor LLMs will transform the automation of data and application integration.

Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 can assist organizations to simplify and automate the integration of business processes and unify data across applications into data warehouses for reporting and for descriptive and predictive analytics.

At SnapLogic, our vision is to deliver frictionless integration and automation. We have helped pioneer the incorporation of AI and ML technology to streamline the integration, automation, and orchestration of data flows across enterprises. Our Iris AI solution, trained against over 7 petabytes of metadata, has already provided tremendous value to our customers over the last six years. We are now actively exploring the use of GPT-4 to enhance our platform capabilities further.

At SnapLogic, we have been prototyping a variety of integration and automation use cases using ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) to connect intent expressed in business language with technical implementation to realize the business goal. We wanted to see how GPT-4s increased reasoning and longer prompt support improved our integration-based use cases.

We have been rapidly testing and comparing our previous prompts against both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. In addition, we have been experimenting with completely new and more demanding use cases. So far we are extremely impressed with the improved accuracy of the GPT-4 responses. It is worth noting that GPT-4 is currently more expensive per token (prompt length) and slightly slower in response generation. That said, the cost and time seem justified for the improved response accuracy.

Our interest is driven by the enormous pressure that enterprises face to increase agility while reducing costs. In our work, we find that process and data fragmentation from the simultaneous proliferation of departmental SaaS apps, the growing use of public and homegrown APIs, and the explosion of heterogeneous data from departmental business systems are some of the biggest obstacles to enterprise agility.

SnapLogic recently announced the release of SnapGPT, the first-ever generative AI solution for enterprise applications and the modern data stack. The new addition to the SnapLogic platform leverages AI to quickly integrate and automate business processes using natural language prompts.

With SnapGPT, IT and business users will be able to accelerate business innovation by automating and integrating data flows at speeds never seen before. Integrations that used to take weeks to deliver can now be generated to achieve rapid results in minutes. Business users simply specify their integration requirements in natural language and SnapGPT does the rest by creating all the necessary processing flows, expressions, or scripts needed to complete the task faster and more accurately than ever before.
