Brain4Data boosts customer service with Oracle Database and Generative AI
Brain4Data, a German startup, built a GenAI-powered agent named Fred that uses retrieval augmented generation (RAG) over customer documents, databases, and ERP systems, powered by Oracle Database's native AI Vector Search and OCI Generative AI Service. Within a few months of deployment, Fred handled 80% of end-user requests. Brain4Data won the European Seal of Excellence from the European Innovation Council in early 2024.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
To provide specific information and context that a human employee would have, Brain4Data needed to develop a GenAI agent using RAG to access reams of a customer's internal data in any format, while keeping the agent fast, affordable, scalable, and reliable; storing customer data in a separate external vector database had added complexity and slowed performance.
The solution
Brain4Data developed its agent, Fred, on Oracle Database, using its native AI Vector Search capabilities to store multiple types of data and vector representations together in the same database, paired with OCI Generative AI Service for retrieval augmented generation and Oracle APEX for the user interface.
Reported business value
Within a few months of starting to use Oracle Database's vector capabilities with OCI Generative AI Service, Fred handled 80% of end-user requests, the goal Brain4Data had targeted.

HP crafts marketing campaigns that resonate with customers using Databricks and Uniphore
HP centralized first-party customer data on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and connected it to Uniphore's HybridCompute for federated query pushdown, cutting campaign setup from 2 weeks to 2 hours and processing 400 million records in seconds.
Building a safer and more sustainable world
Novade, a construction management software company, partnered with Databricks to modernize its analytics and ML infrastructure, moving from a homegrown Apache Airflow stack to the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and MLflow. The move reduced total cost of ownership by 60% and supported a 100% increase in new clients, while enabling ML models for predicting incident risk affecting worker safety and project delivery schedules.
SafeGraph optimizes geospatial data processing with Databricks and Delta Sharing
SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.
Transforming Weather Forecasting with Lakeflow Jobs
AccuWeather migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Databricks and Lakeflow Jobs, working with Datadog for observability, to unify diverse weather data formats and orchestrate 4,500+ weekly jobs. Lakeflow Jobs coordinates the ingestion of multiple weather models, triggers machine learning processes that weight and blend different forecasts, and manages complex job dependencies for reinforcement training workflows used in AccuWeather's proprietary forecasting engine. AccuWeather reports 3x faster dataset development (three months to one month per dataset), a 50% reduction in unactionable alerts, and 50% cost savings on serverless job usage.
