The Google-backed firms says its new co-pilot for predictive modelling can be trained and applied by non-technical staff, making it usable by businesses of all sizes
Google-backed Pecan AI has unveiled its new co-pilot for predictive modelling, designed to enable organisations to harness predictive analytics without data scientists. The platform allows business intelligence (BI) analysts to train machine learning models and gain predictive insights. According to Pecan’s publicity, this marks “a significant step in democratizing AI for businesses of all sizes”.
Pecan’s predictive co-pilot promises to simplify complex datasets by providing users with tools to extract meaningful trends and insights on which to base decisions. The platform apparently “uses intuitive, conversational AI to help users without data science backgrounds refine data, explore trends, and train predictive models”.
Boon for operators?
This could be a boon for operators which struggle to train, recruit and retain data scientists with the right skills sets.
“With our predictive modeling co-pilot, we address key challenges such as simplifying complex workflows and enabling seamless adoption of predictive analytics – a first of its kind,” said Zohar Bronfman, CEO and Co-Founder of Pecan. “This enables every BI team to independently predict outcomes like customer churn, conversion, demand forecasting, and lead scoring, enabling organizations to see tangible returns on their data investments.”
Board additions
Pecan has announced two veteran industry leaders have joined its board to coincide with its official launch. They are Trevor Healy as the Executive Chair and Andy Walter as an advisory board member.
Healy is an entrepreneur and investor with a track record of 14 successful exits who also has expertise in technology and AI. He has held leadership roles at PayPal, Verisign and Telefonica. He said, “Pecan’s Co-Pilot is a game-changer, and I’m thrilled to support the team in making predictive analytics accessible and impactful for businesses worldwide.”
Walter is a former CIO and Global Shared Services executive at Procter & Gamble with experience in analytics, IT strategy, and operational excellence. “Simplifying predictive analytics is the key to scaling its impact. Pecan’s co-pilot allows organizations to turn complexity into clarity and act on their data with confidence,” he said. “I look forward to helping scale Pecan’s transformative solutions to businesses around the world.”
