BASF Coatings and Genie at scale

Summary: Katja Rees shared a customer success story involving a project with BASF Coatings, highlighting the development of a production-ready multi-agent solution using Databricks for Genie. The post emphasizes the importance of incorporating business context alongside schemas, as seen in BASF's use of Unity Catalog metadata to enhance question parsing and SQL generation. This example showcases Genie transitioning from a demo tool to delivering real enterprise value.

AI Summary

Hello Genie Community,

I wanted to share a customer story that feels very relevant for teams building Genie in real enterprise environments.

We recently highlighted work with BASF Coatings on a production-ready, governed, multi-agent solution built with Databricks. What I found especially interesting is how strongly it connects to themes already coming up here: governance, quality, and the point where a single Genie Space may no longer be enough.

One key takeaway: Genie gets much stronger when teams actively curate business context, not just schemas. In the BASF Coatings example, Unity Catalog metadata helped guide question parsing and SQL generation, and authors further improved outcomes by defining joins, adding synonyms, and curating BASF-specific instructions.

Here is the blog post: Supervisor Agent Architecture: Orchestrating Enterprise AI at Scale

A neat little example of Genie moving from demo to real enterprise value.
