Frequently Asked Questions

What is Julius AI?
Julius is an AI assistant designed for statistical analysis, data science, and computations. Julius uses various large language models (LLMs), finding the best one for each task, and writes code to analyze your data based on your prompt. The end-result is an intuitive way to analyze and visualize data without having to code, making statistical analysis accessible to everyone.
How to use Julius AI?
Using Julius AI is simple. Start by uploading your data—using the paperclip icon in the Chat page to add files. We support various formats, including CSV, Excel, PDF, JSON, and even images. Once uploaded, your files become available as a data source in your workspace.

From there, you can ask Julius to analyze or transform your data using natural language. For example, you might say, "Summarize this dataset," "Create a scatter plot," or "Run a one-way ANOVA." Julius will process your request instantly, generating insights, visualizations, and even code to help you make data-driven decisions faster.

Is Julius AI reliable?
Julius AI generates code to analyze your data based on your requests. While the code itself is 100% accurate and the underlying statistical libraries we use are thoroughly tested and reliable, the accuracy of results depends on how well the AI interprets your requirements. For example, if you ask for a statistical test, the AI will make reasonable assumptions about your data's properties if not specified.

To get the most accurate results, we recommend:
  • 1. Making sure the data is properly formatted
  • 2. Being specific about your analysis requirements
  • 3. Providing key information about your data's characteristics if needed
What data sources are supported?
