Machine learning models, predictions, and automation — no data science degree required

DatabaseAnalyticsDeveloperAIAutomation

BigML is a cloud-based machine learning platform that lets you build, train, and deploy predictive models through a clean REST API, a visual dashboard, or WhizzML automation scripts. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can upload datasets, trigger model training, run batch predictions, detect anomalies, and pull forecast results — then feed those outputs into CRM updates, Slack alerts, Google Sheets reports, or any other app in your stack. BigML supports classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection, time-series forecasting, and topic modeling, making it the ML engine that non-specialist teams can actually operate at scale.

Lead scoring model runs on every new CRM contact

Every new CRM contact receives a BigML lead score within about a minute of being created. High-probability contacts surface in Slack before a rep even opens the CRM — meaning the best leads get a same-day response while lower-scoring contacts are deprioritised without any manual triage.

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    30 min / week
    Manual lead triage by gut feel or seniority

    Reps spend time reviewing low-quality leads that match familiar patterns rather than the statistically highest-converting contacts. Scoring, when it happens, is a once-a-week manual export.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent scores every lead the moment it arrives

    When a new contact is added to the CRM, the agent calls BigML's prediction API and writes the lead score back to the record within about a minute — before any rep opens the CRM.

  • Marketing
    60 min / week
    Manual segment building by static rules

    Marketing analysts build audience segments using static demographic or behavioural rules — no probability weighting, no per-contact score, and the segment logic is rebuilt from scratch for each campaign.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent filters the campaign audience by ML conversion score

    Before each campaign sends, the agent runs a batch prediction on the full contact list and updates the audience segment to only the contacts above the predicted-conversion threshold.

  • Customer Support
    25 min / week
    FIFO queue with manual priority overrides

    Agents process tickets in arrival order, manually escalating obvious P1 issues when they see them. Critical tickets submitted at busy times can wait hours before a senior agent reviews them.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent priority-scores and routes every ticket on arrival

    Each new support ticket is classified by BigML within about a minute of creation. P1-predicted tickets appear in the on-call channel before any agent reads the queue.

  • Human Resources
    45 min / week
    Resume review by availability and intuition

    Hiring managers read CVs in the order they arrive, with no data-driven scoring to surface the strongest candidates first. Attrition risk is discussed reactively at exit interviews.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent scores candidates and flags attrition risk automatically

    New applications are scored by BigML before hiring managers open their email. Employee attrition risk runs every Wednesday so managers have time to act before a resignation.

  • Finance
    40 min / week
    Sampling-based manual expense audit

    Finance reviews a random sample of expense submissions — most anomalous items pass through unchecked because no one has time to read every line item in a large submission batch.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent scans every expense for anomalies before accounting sees it

    Every expense submission is scored by BigML within about a minute. Items above the anomaly threshold surface in a Slack review channel with the specific outlier signals flagged.

  • Operations
    120 min / week
    Manual ML pipeline execution with notebook handoffs

    A data engineer runs upload scripts, kicks off training jobs, waits for completion, evaluates accuracy, and updates the model registry by hand — a 2-3 hour process every week with no audit trail.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent orchestrates the full ML pipeline without manual steps

    The Operations Agent triggers BigML data uploads, model retrains, and batch inference runs on schedule via WhizzML, posts a completion summary to Slack, and logs results to the model registry.

  • Legal
    20 min / week
    Periodic manual model inventory review

    Legal or data governance teams manually review the BigML account monthly or quarterly — violations are often discovered late, and the audit log is maintained in a spreadsheet that may not reflect the actual account state.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent audits the BigML model inventory against retention policies weekly

    Every Tuesday the Legal Agent lists all BigML resources, cross-references creation dates against retention policies, and logs any violation to the compliance file automatically.

FAQs

Questions about BigML + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to BigML?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find BigML, and click Connect. Enter your BigML username and your API key — both are available in your BigML account settings page. Actionist makes a test call to the BigML API to confirm the credentials are valid, then your agents can create sources, train models, run predictions, and manage resources. The connection uses the same BigML REST API that powers BigML's own dashboard and SDKs.
What BigML resources can Actionist agents create and manage?
Actionist agents can work with the full BigML resource hierarchy: Sources (data upload), Datasets (cleaned, filtered training data), supervised models (decision trees, ensembles, logistic regressions, deepnets), unsupervised models (clusters, anomaly detectors), and time-series models. Agents can create predictions, batch predictions, centroids, anomaly scores, and forecasts, as well as execute WhizzML automation scripts and poll any resource for its completion status.
Do I need a data science background to use BigML through Actionist?
No. BigML is designed to make machine learning accessible to non-specialists, and Actionist agents handle the API orchestration — uploading data, triggering training, polling for completion, and routing results to the right places. You do need to have pre-trained BigML models in place (or have the agent create them from labeled datasets you supply). Once a model exists, the agent handles every repeated inference and reporting step without any ML expertise required from the person running the workflow.
How long does model training take, and how does the agent handle the wait?
BigML training time depends on dataset size and model type — decision trees on small datasets finish in seconds, ensembles on larger datasets can take a few minutes. Actionist agents use the Get Resource Status action to poll BigML until training completes before triggering downstream steps. This means the agent never moves to a prediction or batch run on a model that isn't finished — you get reliable, sequential ML pipeline execution without hardcoded waits.
Can Actionist run batch predictions on large datasets, or only single-row predictions?
Both. For real-time use cases — scoring a lead the moment a form is submitted, flagging an expense the instant it's entered — the agent calls Create Prediction on a single row and receives the result within about a minute. For bulk use cases — weekly churn scoring, monthly campaign audience filtering, quarterly demand forecasting — the agent calls Create Batch Prediction on a full dataset, which runs the inference in BigML and returns the results as an output dataset that can be written to Google Sheets, HubSpot, or any other connected app.
What is WhizzML and can Actionist agents trigger it?
WhizzML is BigML's domain-specific language for automating multi-step machine learning workflows — data preparation, model training, evaluation, and deployment — in a single script that runs inside BigML's infrastructure. Actionist agents can trigger a WhizzML script execution via the Execute WhizzML Script action, poll for completion, and route the results. This makes it practical to run complex ML pipelines (for example, k-fold cross-validation or automated hyperparameter tuning) on a recurring schedule without any engineering work per run.
How does Actionist handle BigML anomaly detection for real-time use cases?
Once you have a trained BigML anomaly detector, Actionist agents can call Create Anomaly Score for individual records as they arrive — an expense submission, a transaction, a sensor reading — and receive a score between 0 and 1 within about a minute of the record being created. The agent can then branch on that score: route it for review if above a threshold, or let it pass automatically. For bulk anomaly checks (for example, scanning a week's worth of transactions), the agent can call Create Batch Prediction on the anomaly detector and process the scored output dataset.
Can Actionist help with BigML data governance and model compliance?
Yes. Actionist's Legal and Operations agents can use List Resources and Get Resource Status to audit the BigML account on a schedule — identifying models trained on personal data that may be past their data-retention window, flagging models that haven't been retrained within policy deadlines, and generating model-card summaries for regulatory review. These audits run automatically on a weekly cadence and write findings to your compliance log, removing the manual overhead of periodic BigML account reviews.
