Imagine a future that is not so far away. You are sitting in a meeting and, instead of clicking through static dashboards, you simply ask the room: ‘How did our margins evolve in Q3, and what were the primary drivers?’
And you receive an immediate, well-founded, and context-aware response. Not from analysts who spent weeks clicking through Excel spreadsheets, but directly from your data.
Recent developments at Databricks clearly show that this is exactly where we are headed. With substantial investments, the company is driving technologies like Databricks Genie and Lakebase forward.
What does this mean in practice?
Genie allows users to ‘chat’ with their data using natural language. This significantly lowers the barrier for business users. Data literacy is no longer tied to code, but to asking the right questions.
Lakebase provides the infrastructure for so-called ‘AI Agents’. These are intelligent systems that perform tasks autonomously, built on a serverless architecture.
For us at Novalytica, one thing is clear: these technologies will accelerate the speed of decision-making in companies. However, for the dialogue with data to work, the foundation must be right. Without a clean data strategy and proper data governance, even the most intelligent agent remains silent.
Are you ready for the future of data interaction? Let’s discuss how we can prepare your data landscape for what’s next.
