Question on how to use TimeGPT and my draft response in thread. Look ok?

&gt; I am currently an intern at a call center, working on predicting call volumes. The call center's activity is influenced by factors such as the weather and weekends, as we handle interventions related to heating, gas, and electricity. Can I use TimeGPT to make predictions without external data such as weather information?

&gt; Thanks for your email! TimeGPT doesn't require any of your own training data, so you can generate predictions without exogenous variable, and it seems applicable in your use case. 
&gt; 
&gt; Our TimeGPT documentation provides more information on the features of TimeGPT and how to get started, so could be helpful for you as well. <https://docs.nixtla.io/docs/getting-started-about_timegpt>

I would rephrase the first sentence as "TimeGPT only requires a sequence of historical data of your target to make predictions".

Technically, we must feed TimeGPT with some data to make predictions. Otherwise, looks good! :slightly_smiling_face:
