I Built an AI App Without Leaving Databricks

About this video

Check out Databricks here; https://databricks.plug.dev/kVRXr6r What can you actually build on Databricks Free Edition? In this video, I show an AI application I built on the platform, then walk through the tools behind it. The app gathers quotes about ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, tracks trends over time, and analyzes sentiment using AI directly in SQL. I demonstrate ai_query for classification and structured outputs, explore open-source models through AI Gateway, and show how Genie lets you ask questions about your data in natural language. We also explore Databricks Marketplace and deploying an app inside your workspace, bringing SQL, AI, analytics, and application code together in one place. If you’re a developer curious about Databricks, this is a practical introduction to what you can build and learn with Free Edition. 00:00 Databricks Free Overview 00:27 Demo App Walkthrough 01:27 AI in SQL Queries 03:26 Free Account Tour 04:18 AI Query Classification 06:25 Genie BI Assistant 06:45 Marketplace Data Sources 08:03 Genie Agents Visuals 09:22 Deploy Apps in Workspace 10:18 Wrap Up and Next Steps #Databricks #SQL #AI #DataEngineering
