Databricks and Ali Ghodsi its genuinely tragic, and sad that Genie which could be the (0, 0, 0) in our axis of success in the new world to come is relegated to a tooling, and its wonders suffers from political narrative losses. If you do not know beyond funding and tooling how could genie be the point of reference for axis of success speak with me or few users who will tell it to you. To tell genie is NLP is to tell Mother is someone who gave birth, Databricks is something that runs faster queries, and Gourav is a human.
The true power of innovation lies in its ability to consistently deliver value to customers, and Databricks AI/BI is bringing this value to the forefront in the new era of AI-driven business intelligence.
Natural-language BI is where things get real 👍 We've seen the gap between data teams and business users kill good decisions. If Genie actually bridges that without becoming another tool no one uses, that's a win.
Great insights! Leading at the intersection of AI and BI sounds both challenging and inspiring, especially as businesses strive to make data truly accessible through natural language and intelligent systems.
