This was super fun to investigate using SQL and Genie.

I really liked how the Databricks Detective Series turns learning into a real hands-on experience. Instead of just reading concepts, we get to ask questions, follow clues, validate evidence, and solve a case like a real data engineer.

Genie makes it even more interesting because it shows how natural language can help users explore data faster, while SQL thinking still helps us validate and trust the findings.

Great initiative by the Databricks team. This is a brilliant way to help learners build confidence with Databricks Free Edition, Lakeview dashboards, and real-world data investigation. Excited to see this launch at Data + AI Summit 2026.
