What is Genie and why does ontology matter so much?

The models are smart but they do not have the context of your business. They do not know what decisions are being made in your meetings, what your priorities are, who the key people are, what your data means. We call capturing all of that the ontology. Genie is our product that builds and maintains that ontology for you and feeds it continuously to the AI. At Databricks internally, I can ask Genie any question about any part of the business at any point in a meeting and get a real answer. We have built up our ontology over years. When I look at our customers using the same product, the ones who have not built up the ontology yet get a fraction of the value. The intelligence is not the bottleneck. The context is.
