Using VALD AI for data analysis

VALD AI gives you the ability to easily query and ingest your data straight from VALD Hub.

In the current Beta phase, its role is limited to data exploration and reporting, not providing recommendations.

VALD AI is currently in Beta and available to all VALD Hub users, unless an organization has specifically opted out.

About the Beta

This release of VALD AI is made available to VALD users via an external vendor for the purposes of gathering feedback. When using the Beta version, keep in mind that:

• some features may be incomplete, behave unexpectedly, or change over time, and
• you may encounter bugs or limitations that will not be present in the final product.

The VALD team are actively monitoring and resolving issues based on your feedback. We greatly appreciate any time and effort spent exploring VALD AI and sharing what works or doesn't.

Help us improve VALD AI

	Use the thumbs up button when the output matches what you were looking for, and highlight any areas that are working well.
	Use the thumbs down button when the output was not what you expected, and give details about what was missing or incorrect.

Capabilities and limitations

VALD AI can...

• Securely query your organization's VALD Hub data – en masse or for specific cohorts
• Aggregate and visualize your data in a preferred format (table, chart*, etc.)
  * Radar and quadrant charts not available in the Beta.
• Carry out new calculations and derive key insights from your data
• Help you inspect the quality of datasets and identify outliers
• Create normative-style reports comparing data to your own custom benchmarks

VALD AI cannot...

• Provide recommendations or feedback beyond presenting the queried insights, calculations or visualizations.
• Infer or compare against data from organizations you don't have access to
• Utilize global (age or sex-based) normative datasets in the Beta release
• Display real-time data – data is refreshed daily, meaning very recent tests may not appear until the next day
• Localize date and time – all dates will be displayed in UTC

See below for a list of available VALD systems from which data can or cannot be queried in the Beta.

VALD system or data	Supported
NordBord test data
ForceFrame test data

ForceDecks test data
DynaMo test data
SmartSpeed test data
Profile data from VALD Hub

Other test parameters or notes

This Beta includes a defined, limited scope – broader support is expected in upcoming releases.

Note that data for use with VALD AI is refreshed daily – typically every 24 hours. This means that newly captured data may take some time to become available in VALD AI.

Access and data security

During the Beta phase, VALD AI is hosted in a secure environment accessible through VALD Hub. Select VALD AI from the lower section of the lefthand navigation panel.

Upon clicking this button for the first time, you will be asked to agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. This begins the process of setting up your access – the status next to the VALD AI button will change to 'Pending'. When VALD AI becomes available to you, the status will change to 'Ready'.

Usually, the setup process takes about an hour. If you are the first user in your organization to use VALD AI, it may take up to 24 hours.

When accessing VALD AI, you will need to log in using your normal VALD Hub credentials.

VALD AI can only access data from the VALD Hub organizations you are a member of, and only once VALD AI has been set up for each organization.

If you belong to more than one organization, you will need to agree to the Terms of Use and complete the setup process for each one.
