We’ve uncovered fifteen AI use case patterns (there are probably more) and given each one a name. This is the tenth of the fifteen.

Information synthesizer, transforming diverse data into actionable insights.

When you’re looking for actionable insights drawn from a vast trove of data, you would be smart to consider consulting an AI. Like, “Hey, ChatGPT. Here are the results from our latest customer survey. Which conclusions can I draw from this?”

The Knowledge Gatherer is our name for the AI pattern that deals with collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing vast amounts of information from diverse sources. AIs can distill complicated knowledge into actionable insights, supporting knowledge work and enhancing decision-making processes. For example:

“From these five hundred job candidates, pick the twenty we should invite for an interview, and give us your motivation behind your suggestions.”

By processing and interpreting large volumes of data, AIs can uncover hidden patterns, trends, and correlations, presenting them in a comprehensible and applicable format.

More examples:

• A pharmaceutical company uses the Knowledge Gatherer when analyzing millions of scientific papers, clinical trial results, and patient data, uncovering unexpected correlations between genetic markers and drug efficacy.

• A global investment firm employs the Knowledge Gatherer to continuously analyze financial reports, news articles, social media sentiment, and economic indicators across multiple markets, to provide real-time investment recommendations.

• A government think tank could utilize this pattern to synthesize climate data, economic reports, and policy documents to generate comprehensive policy recommendations.

In short, the Knowledge Gatherer is your friend when it comes to turning data into decisions.
