Genie Ontology

Wondering what the thoughts are on Databricks' new Genie Ontology and whether Ontobricks will be able to use that technology for anything.

Hi,
Quick answer: Genie Ontology is the auto-inferred context layer for Genie, while OntoBricks is the curated enterprise ontology/knowledge graph builder.

• Genie Ontology is best when the goal is better Genie accuracy, speed, and trust with minimal setup: it automatically extracts knowledge from tables, queries, dashboards, docs, and connected apps, ranks sources by authority, and stays permission-aware inside Genie.
• OntoBricks is best when the goal is to explicitly design and operate a reusable business ontology / digital twin: you model OWL ontologies, map them to Unity Catalog tables, materialize a graph/triple store, apply reasoning and rules, and expose it beyond a single chat experience.

So the clean soundbite is: Genie Ontology improves Genie; OntoBricks builds enterprise knowledge graphs. They are more complementary than competitive.

But, you may ask: "what about both together ?"
... and I would answer shortly like this: OntoBricks builds the map; Genie Ontology helps Genie use the map intelligently.
