Building a clean energy future with natural language analytics
Williams, a large-scale natural gas infrastructure operator, deployed Databricks AI/BI Genie to give commercial, regulatory, accounting and technical staff natural-language, self-serve access to analytics. The team flattened 27 disparate tables into SQL models that Genie Spaces reason over, encoding internal acronyms and business logic into Genie's instructions, powered by Databricks Unity Catalog. A data request that previously took an analyst five days now completes in seconds with validated accuracy, and the weekly backlog of data requests dropped from up to ten to one or two, freeing analysts for predictive modeling and enterprise projects.
