Conversational analytics promises to democratize data, but the path from promise to production looks different in every organization. In this session, cross-industry leaders pull back the curtain on their Genie deployments spanning four distinct functional domains: global supply chain, commercial sales and marketing, workforce staffing optimization, and healthcare intelligence for reducing readmissions. You'll hear what drove adoption, where implementation got messy, and how each team defined, and measured, value. Whether you're evaluating conversational AI for the first time or scaling an existing deployment, this cross-industry conversation delivers the unfiltered perspective you won't find in a case study.

This session is repeated. Improving healthcare impacts us all. We highlight how Premier Inc. took risk-adjusted patient data from more than 1,300 member hospitals across America, applying a natural language interface using AI/BI Genie, allowing our users to discover new insights. The stakes are high, new insights surfaced represent potential care improvement and lives positively impacted. Using Genie and our AI-ready data in Unity Catalog, our team was able to stand up a Genie instance in three short days, bypassing costs and time of custom modeling and application development. Additionally, Genie allowed our internal teams to generate complex SQL, as much as 10 times faster than writing it by hand. As Genie and lakehouse apps continue to advance rapidly, we are excited to leverage these features by introducing Genie to as many as 20,000 users across hundreds of hospitals. This will support our members’ ongoing mission to enhance the care they provide to the communities they serve.

AI/BI Genie lets anyone simply talk with their own data, using natural language, fully secured through UC to provide accurate answers within the context for your organization.
