Databricks’ new ‘One’ dashboard brings AI to the business class (exclusive)

Databricks has launched Databricks One, an AI-powered business intelligence dashboard aimed at non-technical users. The platform simplifies data analysis by offering a chatbot-like interface where users can request data insights in plain language. These requests are then translated into actions, like SQL queries, executed behind the scenes by AI agents. Databricks One also includes integrated data visualizations and allows users to refine their views through an "AI/BI Genie". This new tool addresses concerns from large enterprise clients about broadening data access and ensuring data security. Databricks built guardrails, including role-based access controls and sandboxed environments, to mitigate risks. The platform keeps customer data secure, prevents data leaks, and avoids using one customer's data to train models for another. Databricks One is currently in private preview, with a public beta planned for later this summer, using a metered pricing model. With recent funding and a growing valuation, Databricks is potentially aiming for an IPO in the coming years.
