Unity Catalog new features and capabilities:
LakehouseIQ
LakehouseIQ, enhanced by Unity Catalog, revolutionizes your interaction with enterprise data.

Recognizing these challenges, LakehouseIQ steps in as a first-of-its-kind knowledge engine that adapts to your business’s specific nuances and data intricacies. Beyond just being an AI assistant, LakehouseIQ enables all employees to search, understand, and query data using natural language. It leverages data usage patterns and organizational chart information to enhance understanding of your unique data landscape, delivering precise and insightful results. The power of LakehouseIQ lies in its ability to utilize the Databricks Lakehouse platform fully, pulling signals from Unity Catalog, dashboards, notebooks, data pipelines, and docs.
