Google’s newly released Gemini 2.0 Flash provides business analysts with greater speed and flexibility in defining Python scripts for complex analysis, giving analysts more precise control over the results they generate.
Gemini 2.0 Flash also supports multimodal inputs, including images, video, and audio, as well as multimodal output, including natively generated images mixed with text and steerable text-to-speech (TTS) multilingual audio. It can also natively call tools like Google Search, code execution, and third-party user-defined functions.
VentureBeat wanted to make the prompt request realistic by having the script encompass an analysis of 13 XDR vendors, also providing insights into how AI helps the listed vendors handle telemetry data.
Here is the prompt we gave Gemini 2.0 Flash to execute: Write a Python script to analyze the following cybersecurity vendors who have AI integrated into their XDR platform and build a table showing how they differ from each other in implementing AI.
Within seconds, the script ran, and Colab signaled no errors. It also provided a message at the end of the script that the Excel file was done.
Analysts, by nature, have a high degree of intellectual curiosity. Helping lift that burden will give analysts a chance to do what they enjoy and do best, which is to use their intuition, intelligence, and insight to deliver exceptionally valuable ideas.
The total time needed to get this table done was less than four minutes, from submitting the prompt, getting the Python script, running it in Colab, downloading the Excel file, and doing some quick formatting.
Using Google AI Studio, VentureBeat created the following AI-powered XDR Vendor Comparison Python scripting request, with Python code produced in seconds.
Automation tools in general, and AI tools specifically, can assist business analysts who need to crunch massive amounts of data and succinctly communicate it.
For the many professionals who have worked in a variety of business, competitive, and market analyst roles in their careers, AI is the force multiplier they’ve been looking for to trim hours off of repetitive, monotonous tasks.
