Ali Ghodsi on the launch of Genie Code, an autonomous AI agent built specifically for data teams

What is this particular bit of code equipment going to do for your talent? — Yeah, so what it is is, you know, we've heard a lot about cloud code and coding agents and so on, but what they do, they're kind of like interns that can write code for you. — Uh that's great, but how do you get that code into production? And for that, you need to be sure that you know it's not nothing's going to go wrong that you can measure it and so on. So that's Genie Code is really about how do you actually get your code into production? How do you measure the data pipelines that power all of the dashboards that you see? And how do you even uh start building AI models? So what Genieode can do is it can build a machine learning model for you that can predict prices or estimate, you know, how much you're going to sell of this. And it can do this, you know, itself. It just goes builds machine learning models, iterates on them, does a lot of the things that data scientists previously had to do themselves. It just automates all of that for you. — And it's not getting things incorrect. As the work continues, there's still been a lot of concern that these things are hallucinating the longer term that they work. Yeah, this is a big problem in the industry. So, uh with this, this is like one piece of the puzzle is what I talked about. The other piece of the puzzle is we also acquired a company called Quotient, right? — And these are the folks behind uh GitHub co-pilots quality measurement. So, there are folks uh focused on quality measurement uh making sure that they can do monitoring of how things are going. So, this is the other piece of the puzzle so that we can actually do that. So when you launch these things and they're running, how can we oversee to make sure that nothing is going wrong or it's sort of if it's going off track, we can stop it, restart it. So that's equally important, maybe even more important than the first
