It's a packed house here in London for #DataAIWorldTour 🇬🇧 AI apps and agents are top of the agenda as we head into an afternoon of breakout sessions. Highlights so far include: - Michael Green kicking off the keynote session in front of 3,000+ attendees - Meggy Chung from Barclays & Dennis Michon from easyJet sharing their success stories on stage - Countless conversations on how Databricks is powering the data + AI needed to build high-quality AI agents

Barclays is reimagining what’s possible with data and AI. Meggy Chung, Head of Global Enterprise Data Platforms told us at #DataAIWorldTour London: “We migrated one of our legacy banking data warehouses into Databricks in just 4.5 months, a record for us. The beauty of it was that the business is now able to do things it never could before.”   It’s amazing to see what happens when data meets innovation at scale.

Today, London is at the center of the data + AI conversation. We’re bringing data leaders, innovators, and visionaries together to explore how Databricks is shaping the future of AI apps and agents. #DataAIWorldTour

Most BI teams know they need to modernize, but few realize the cost of waiting. When we assessed our own BI environment at Databricks, we faced the same challenges many enterprises do: slow dashboards, high licensing costs, inconsistent metrics, and limited AI assistants. So we put our own platform to the test. In just five months, we migrated 1,300+ dashboards to Databricks AI/BI — improving performance 5x, saving $880K annually, and boosting user satisfaction by 80%.
