Databricks on Wednesday introduced an artificial intelligence assistant intended to help business users ask complicated questions about their corporate data in everyday language.

Databricks, a San Francisco-based startup most recently valued at $38 billion, is among several tech companies, including Adobe Inc and Intel Corp, racing to use chatbots that can hold human-like conversations to sift through business data like sales transactions or written reports for answers.
