Slides in Genie One

Beta

This feature is in Beta. To use it, a workspace admin must turn on Artifacts from the Previews page. See Manage Databricks previews.

Genie One builds slide decks from your data, with charts, text, and speaker notes, and saves them to your workspace as artifacts. Ask Genie for a deck in chat, then edit the slides yourself in the slide editor, or ask Genie for more changes. When the deck is ready, present it with speaker notes, and use Ask Genie to answer your audience's questions about the data on any slide.

Create a slide deck

To create a slide deck:

1. In a Genie One chat thread, ask Genie to create a slide deck. Describe the topic, the data to use, and the audience.

   prompt

   Tell Genie to do this for you:

   Using the samples.bakehouse sales data, create a slide deck for the leadership team that reviews sales by country and by product.

2. When Genie One finishes building the deck, it appears in the chat thread. Click the deck to open it.

3. To revise the deck, edit the slides yourself, or ask Genie for changes in the same thread.

   prompt

   Tell Genie to do this for you:

   Add a slide that compares the top five franchises by revenue, and add speaker notes to each slide.

Genie One saves the deck to your workspace. In My stuff and Discover, it shows the Slides type.

Edit slides

You can edit any part of a deck yourself in the slide editor, without asking Genie. Use it to adjust wording, layout, and charts before you present.

Slide decks open in Edit mode. If you're in another mode, switch the Page mode control to Edit. You need Can edit permission on the deck.

In Edit mode, use the left panel to see your slides and reorder them. To change text, move or resize elements, or insert charts, text boxes, and images, see Edit an artifact.

Add speaker notes

In Edit mode, use the notes panel below the slide to add or change speaker notes for that slide. Speaker notes appear in Presenter view and not in the audience view.

Present slides

To present a slide deck:

1. Open the deck.
2. Click Present. To choose how to present, click the arrow next to Present and select Start from beginning or Presenter view.
3. Use the presentation controls to move to the Previous slide or Next slide, or to switch to Full screen.
4. To stop presenting, click End presentation.

Presenter view opens a separate window with slide previews and your speaker notes, while the audience sees only the slides.

Ask Genie while you present

When your audience asks a question about the data, use Ask Genie to answer it without leaving the presentation. Genie answers from the data behind the slide, so you can respond to follow-up questions on the spot.

To ask Genie while you present:

1. Click Ask Genie.
2. Select an element on the slide, such as a chart or a number.
3. Type your question and click Ask. For example, select a sales-by-country chart and ask "Which product sold the most in Japan?"
4. When Genie answers, a notification appears. Click View to see the answer.

The presentation keeps running while Genie works on the answer. For who can use Ask Genie and where answers appear, see Ask Genie about an artifact.

Share a deck

To share a slide deck, open it and click Share, then add users or groups with Can read or Can edit permission. Anyone who can view the deck can see its snapshot data. See Share an artifact and Data in artifacts.
