Databricks CEO: models are smart enough, enterprises just lack internal context

- Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi on the a16z pod: most companies are still just using chatbots, with hardly any agentic transformation — 'they're so far behind in the adoption curve.'
- His diagnosis: 'The models are smart enough, but they just don't have the context that exists inside of any organization' — models haven't been in every meeting, don't know what's in people's heads, don't know internal processes.
- Fuse that context into models, he argues, and any organization could unlock massive productivity gains.
- The quoter jokes there's a multi-billion-dollar opportunity in simply hand-holding enterprise stakeholders through this.
