Databricks, the Data and AI company, has unveiled Databricks One, a powerful new user experience designed to give business users easy, secure, and code-free access to the full range of capabilities offered by the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. With this launch, Databricks makes a significant leap toward democratizing data and AI—enabling everyone from executives to frontline teams to interact with data and generate insights in real-time, without technical expertise. Databricks One is now available in Private Preview.
Traditionally, Databricks has been the go-to platform for data engineers and scientists seeking to build data pipelines, perform complex analytics, and unlock actionable insights. But for many business users, the technical nature of these environments has remained a barrier. Databricks One changes that by introducing a fully redesigned, user-friendly interface tailored specifically for non-technical audiences.
For the first time, business teams can access AI/BI dashboards, use the conversational AI assistant Genie, quickly locate relevant insights, and leverage custom Databricks Apps—all within a seamless and secure environment. Users can now pose natural language questions like “What region is growing fastest?”, “Why did sales spike in April?”, or “How can we continue accelerating growth?” and receive instant, data-backed answers.
“Our mission at Databricks is to democratize data + AI,” said Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and CEO of Databricks. “Every person of every skill level should have equal access to work with data and use AI. With Databricks One, we want to make our experience for non-technical users as amazing as our experience for technical users. This is our first step of making this true so that everyone across the organization can unlock the full value of their data and drive innovation.”
Smarter Analytics with AI/BI Dashboards and Genie
Databricks One features lightning-fast, beautifully designed AI/BI Dashboards, enabling users to explore insights, perform forecasting, and conduct key driver analysis—all without writing a line of code. The new Genie assistant brings AI into the analytics experience, allowing users to ask questions in plain English and receive instant, visual insights. Built on the Data Intelligence Platform, Genie understands business-specific language and will soon support Deep Research—digging into root causes and summarizing findings for deeper context.
