Databricks + Hal9

You 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. In addition, the current version of Hal9 requires you to use a Unity Catalog, future versions of Hal9 might drop this requirement.

From Hal9 running in the cloud or on-premise, you will need to configure an ODBC connection string, our team is here to help if you need assistance.

Once that's configured, you are ready to ask any data question and Hal9 will answer them through our conversational AI with appropriate tables, visualizations, and interactive controls.

If you have any questions, book a demo at hal9.com. TTYS!

Javier's Insights: We Just Shipped Hal9 1.0.0 β€” Here's the Bet We're Making We just released Hal9 1.0.0 β€” and it's already trending. But the version number isn't the real story.
