In the past, business intelligence (BI) meant dashboards, static reports, and hours spent waiting for answers from analytics teams. Today, that model is being replaced by something far more intuitive: AI/BI Genie, Databricks’ conversational intelligence layer that lets anyone talk to their data and get insights instantly.
Across industries, enterprises are discovering that conversational BI isn’t just a productivity tool; it’s a new way to work. This article explores some of the most transformative AI/BI Genie use cases already reshaping how companies analyze, decide, and act on data.
From Dashboards to Dialogue
For decades, BI platforms focused on visualizing the past. They required specialized skills, complex queries, and siloed data preparation. As a result, most employees never accessed insights directly.
AI/BI Genie changes that dynamic completely.
Instead of asking an analyst, users can now ask their data. Genie uses large language models (LLMs) fine-tuned on enterprise data to understand questions in plain English, generate insights, and visualize results in seconds.
The shift is profound: from “build a report” to “get an answer.” But the true story of Genie lies not just in its interface, it’s in how organizations across industries are using it to solve real problems, at scale.
What Makes AI/BI Genie Different
Unlike traditional BI assistants, Genie runs natively on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, combining data, analytics, and AI in a single environment.
That means it’s not just summarizing reports but querying governed data directly from the Lakehouse, ensuring that insights are accurate, secure, and contextualized. The result is an AI/BI layer that democratizes access to data while maintaining enterprise-grade AI governance.
And this is exactly where Arkon Data Platform (ADP) becomes critical. ADP extracts and structures data from complex systems like Oracle Fusion Cloud, preserving metadata, relationships, and business logic.
This ensures Genie receives clean, contextual, and AI-ready data, eliminating the classic “garbage in, garbage out” problem and allowing enterprises to scale AI safely.
Cross-Industry AI/BI Genie Use Cases
Let’s explore how AI/BI Genie is transforming industries through practical, measurable applications.
1. Operational Efficiency in Energy and Retail
Williams (Energy Sector)
For years, the energy company Williams struggled with manual analytics processes that created backlogs and bottlenecks. Analysts spent hours preparing data from multiple sources before generating even basic insights.
With Genie, Williams reduced its reporting backlog by over 90%, giving employees instant access to performance metrics and predictive insights.
The result: faster decision-making and a culture where data is no longer limited to a few experts.
Casas Bahia (Retail)
In retail, speed equals survival. Brazil’s Casas Bahia used to spend five to six hours manually compiling reports for its daily operations. With AI/BI Genie, that process now takes two minutes.
Managers can simply ask: “Show me yesterday’s top-selling categories by region.” And Genie delivers interactive visuals instantly.
This use case exemplifies how conversational BI empowers data consumers to become decision-makers.
2. Real-Time Insights and Personalization in Gaming
SEGA
In the gaming industry, player sentiment and engagement can shift in an instant. SEGA integrated Genie into its data ecosystem to unify behavioral and sentiment data across regions, enabling 10× faster insight generation.
Game designers and marketing teams can now monitor performance, identify friction points, and adapt campaigns on the fly without waiting for analysts.
FunPlus
Mobile game developer FunPlus faced high data engineering costs and a growing complexity in analytics workflows. By integrating AI/BI Genie, the company achieved a 40% cost reduction and a 48% increase in data engineer productivity, allowing teams to focus on experimentation rather than maintenance.
Both SEGA and FunPlus illustrate a core advantage of these AI/BI Genie use cases: they move data-driven decision-making closer to real time, where business value truly happens.
3. Financial Intelligence and Cost Transparency
MagicOrange (Fintech)
Financial organizations depend on transparency and speed, yet traditional BI processes often slow both down.
MagicOrange adopted Genie to automate cost allocation and reporting, delivering real-time analytics to executives and clients. The result: $100,000+ in annual savings and a fully auditable view of financial performance.
By combining conversational AI with trusted data foundations, finance teams could shift from manual reporting to strategic analysis.
4. Augmented Decision-Making in Automotive and Insurance
The AA (Automotive & Insurance)
AA integrated AI/BI Genie directly into Microsoft Teams, allowing employees to query data conversationally without switching tools.
When a manager asks, “What’s our claim resolution rate this week?” Genie delivers visual, accurate insights instantly, with a 70% faster response time compared to legacy BI systems.
This integration shows how conversational analytics can become part of daily operations, embedded where teams already collaborate.
Outcomes Across AI/BI Genie Use Cases
Across all industries, the outcomes of Genie adoption share a consistent pattern:
Why Context and Governance Matter
As enterprises rush to adopt AI, many overlook a simple truth: AI is only as good as the data it’s trained on. Without proper context (definitions, relationships, and lineage), even the smartest models generate misleading insights.
That’s why governance and context are becoming the cornerstone of successful AI strategies.
Arkon Data Platform (ADP) provides that foundation by:
Extracting structured data from complex systems like Oracle Fusion Cloud.
Preserving metadata, hierarchies, and business rules.
Delivering clean, AI-ready datasets directly into Databricks environments.
When Genie interacts with this governed layer, its responses are grounded, traceable, and accurate, eliminating hallucinations and ensuring full explainability.
In short, Genie turns governed data into intelligence; ADP ensures that the data is trustworthy enough to begin with.
From Creativity to Autonomy: The Business Impact
The evolution from dashboards to conversational AI marks more than a technological shift; it’s an operational one.
Generative AI accelerates creativity: writing code, drafting reports, producing insights.
Agentic AI (and systems like Genie) deliver autonomy: making decisions, executing tasks, and optimizing workflows.
Together, they redefine how enterprises operate, turning data pipelines into decision pipelines.
AI/BI Genie sits at the intersection of these forces, bringing the autonomy of Agentic AI to BI itself. It allows systems not just to describe the business but to act on it, automatically surfacing anomalies, opportunities, and predictions.
The Road Ahead: Talking to Your Enterprise Data
The next phase of enterprise intelligence will be conversational, contextual, and continuous.
As more companies move toward data intelligence platforms, tools like AI/BI Genie will become the interface for decision-making from executives to front-line employees.
However, scaling this vision requires the right foundation: structured data, governance, and accessibility.
With Arkon Data Platform, enterprises can prepare their data for Genie and beyond, extracting it from fragmented systems, preserving context, and making it ready for real-time AI and BI.
The future of business intelligence is no longer just visual. It’s interactive, intelligent, and autonomous.
