Hal9 provides business insights in seconds with a conversational AI. The following video tutorial describes the how to connect Databricks to Hal9 and showcases them both in action for cloud and enterprise environments. Databricks + Hal9You can use Hal9 with Databricks running in databricks.com, Azure, AWS or any other cloud provider that supports Databricks. In addition, you will need Databricks with support for Data Analytics, which is part of Databricks Premium pricing.
