summary

Databricks demonstrates a codeless BI layer called Genie Spaces that turns natural-language prompts (English/Italian) into executable SQL, runs queries on Databricks compute, and returns tables and charts that can be saved or shared. It uses Unity Catalog metadata and optional example SQL to reduce hallucinations, enforces per-user permissions, keeps data in-region while calling a third-party LLM, and measures accuracy with benchmarks of expected SQL. Demo shows drag‑and‑drop table setup and shows generated SQL for auditability; pricing is pay‑per‑compute, no extra license.
