Create custom LLM-powered Assistants with AIP Assist Agents [Beta]

Date published: 2024-10-10

We are excited to announce the beta release of custom-made LLM-powered assistants called "AIP Assist Agents". This feature allows users to create LLM-powered assistants that specialize only on custom content sources, with no coding experience required. This builds on the ability to register custom content sources with AIP Assist, which allows users to add Notepad documents or in-platform custom documentation to AIP Assist's knowledge base.

Custom source-backed AIP Assist Agents

It is important to note how this feature differs from existing AIP Assist support for custom content sources. Serving custom sources with AIP Assist makes content available as a resource when AIP Assist answers user queries, along with Palantir platform and developer documentation. Without AIP Assist Agents, custom sources can be configured to be available to AIP Assist's default mode.

Ontology SDK for Java development [GA]

Date published: 2024-10-08

Java support is generally available the week of October 7th in Ontology SDK and Developer Console. Java developers can now generate a Java library to easily interact with Ontology objects, links, actions, aggregations, and functions. Users can add the Java OSDK to existing Java services or create brand-new applications to enable seamless integrations with data on the Palantir platform.

The Ontology Software Development Kit (SDK) allows you to access the full power of the Ontology directly from your development environment. You can generate the Java OSDK with Developer Console, a portal for creating and managing applications using Palantir APIs. With the new support for Java OSDK, you can build Java-based programs, such as backend services that interact with the Ontology. These services will use confidential clients to authenticate to the Palantir platform and serve data based on the permissions granted to users.

Introducing a simplified process for creating and managing code workspaces

Date published: 2024-10-08

A refined creation and management process for code workspaces is now generally available. This new process allows Code Workspaces users to manage new workspaces from a single code repository resource, rather than from two distinct resources that need to be individually configured and permissioned. During code workspace creation, users now only need to configure the backing code repository, and new code workspaces can be accessed by selecting the code repository from anywhere in the Palantir platform filesystem, removing confusion and streamlining access.

The new Code Workspaces user interface, now only requiring configuration for the backing code repository.

The new Code Workspaces UI, now only requiring configuration for the backing code repository.

Users can benefit from a decluttered user interface, and will no longer run into permissions issues with new code workspace resources. This feature applies to both RStudio® and JupyterLab® workspaces, but only affects code workspaces created after the week of September 30. These code workspaces will still have both a Code Workspaces and Code Repositories resource in the filesystem.

Configure your support team in Control Panel

Date published: 2024-10-03

The configuration for support teams has moved from the Foundry Issues application to Control Panel in an effort to improve discoverability.

When a group has been registered as a support team, some status changes can be automated according to a set of rules. For example, when a reporter comments on an issue, the issue can automatically transition to “Waiting on Support” status for support team visibility.

This move to Control Panel also means that support teams are now configured at the enrollment-level rather than by Organization. As such, all Foundry issues assigned to support teams will now be affected by status automation regardless of the reporter's Organization, simplifying configuration in multi-Organization setups.

You can now configure your support teams in Control Panel.

When should you use AIP Agent Studio?

We recommend using AIP Studio Agent for:

  • Grouped document retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) Agents: Ideal for analyzing large sets of documents or unstructured data. Whether dealing with procurement documents, environmental impact assessments, insurance claims, or shift handover logs, AIP Agents can provide context-aware responses and insights.
  • Ontology context filtering: Useful for tasks requiring additional filtering based on the application context. For example, in drafting or brainstorming scenarios, agents can be used to adhere to specific style guidelines published by different stakeholders. This allows for consistent and personalized document generation, such as creating briefings tailored to specific higher-ups' preferences.
  • Custom documentation assistance: By integrating with AIP Assist, AIP Agents can specialize in responding to queries based solely on custom content sources, making them invaluable for support teams, developer teams, and platform administrators. This functionality extends the power of AIP Agents to custom documentation.
  • Routine prompting and templating: Perfect for scenarios requiring routine drafting or templating, such as coding assistance or generating domain-specific language (DSL) rules. Pre-prompting the agent with specific guidelines or templates can significantly enhance performance and consistency.

AIP Agent Studio is not suitable for tasks that require repetitive, well-defined processes. For such use cases, other tools like AIP Logic or AIP Automate may be more appropriate.

What’s next on the development roadmap?

We are actively developing AIP Agent Studio and will soon introduce support for deploying AIP Agents externally via the Ontology SDK (OSDK). Stay tuned for updates.

Store time series logic with derived series, now generally available [GA]

Date published: 2024-10-01

We are excited to announce the GA release of derived time series, available on all enrollments the week of October 7.

Prior to the release of this feature, the results of time series analyses performed in Quiver could not be used in workflows involving other Foundry applications. Now, you can derive a new series from raw sensor data and save it back to the Ontology, allowing for the use of the derived series in all Ontology-aware applications. Once in the Ontology, derived series behave as raw time series but are calculated on the fly. This eliminates the need to manage or store derived data or duplicate those calculations across the platform.

A generic outline of how an operation can be performed on raw data to generate derived series.

A generic outline of how an operation can be performed on raw data to generate derived series.

What's new with derived series?

In the previous beta version of derived series, you were required to manually save the derived time series to the Ontology through Pipeline Builder or Code Repositories. Now, you can conveniently save to the Ontology automatically using the Save derived series setting found in the Derived Series Options section of any supported time series card in Quiver.

Finally, we now provide tooling for managing the derived series that have been saved into the Ontology:

The new Ontology tab for configuring automatic Ontology saving to sensor object types.

The new Ontology tab for configuring automatic Ontology saving to sensor object types.

Why use derived series?

Before derived series, there was a lack of user-friendly tooling for creating and managing derived series in the platform. Additionally, there was no intuitive way to use transformed time series across different Palantir applications without materializing the transformed data and manually adding the new series to the Ontology.

Now, users can derive new series in Quiver and save them to the Ontology for use in operational and analytical applications throughout Foundry. Users can also manage the logic and Ontology saving of derived series in a dedicated tool, with calculations only performed when a user requests the derived series.

Example use case

A current use case for derived series focuses on process optimization for waste water treatment plants, using data science to optimize energy and chemical consumption. With derived series as features to machine learning models, we can streamline the deployment of these models that use live-streamed time series data to inform operational safe water plant decisions at scale.

What is next for derived series?

Over the upcoming weeks, we will be adding the ability to select a filtered object scope for the root object to which the derived series will be linked.

Learn more about derived series in our documentation, including permissions requirements and how to set up automatic Ontology saving.
