Training Registration |

Hands-on training: Enable trusted insights for your organization with Genie In this hands-on session, you'll build a Genie agent — the experience your users tap to answer their own data questions — so business users across your organization can self-serve reliable insights. You'll connect your data from the Lakehouse and ground its answers in your organization's own metric definitions and business terms so results stay consistent and trusted. |
| 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM |
Training Registration |
| 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM |
Hands-on training: Building AI Apps with Lakebase-powered memory An agent is only as good as the context it can draw on, and memory is what lets that context last beyond a single response. In this hands-on session, you will build an agent and give it memory backed by Lakebase, then deploy it as an app on Databricks. You'll add short-term memory so the agent follows a conversation across turns, and long-term memory so it recognizes a returning user in a session days later. Then you'll trace how it works with MLflow and deploy it as an app that remembers its users. |
