JAKARTA - Databricks, a startup company based in San Francisco that was recently valuated at US$38 billion (Rp570 trillion), introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant aimed at helping business users raise complicated questions about their corporate data in everyday languages.

Databricks' main product is the technology to store large amounts of corporate data in a way that facilitates access and analysis. However, to do so, it usually takes a data scientist to write a computer code that seeks and manipulates data.

This new system, named LakehouseIQ, will allow users to ask questions naturally, without using computer code. Behind the scenes, artificial intelligence systems will interpret questions, take the required data, read them, and generate answers.

Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks, hopes that this AI system will be very useful because it is trained using company data itself, not generic data from the internet. This is expected to quickly understand relevant information such as the company's financial year or industrial special language.

"There are many acronyms of three letters in each organization. They have many different meanings, and not even everyone in the company knows them," said Ghodsi. By training AI using customer-specific data, this new offering from Databricks "understands special languages. It understands the domain where you work."
