Genie One

Genie One answers questions across your whole workspace: there's no Genie Agent to choose. It finds the right data, runs SQL, and can draw charts. Results with geometry can go straight onto the map.

Tips

  • Follow-ups keep the conversation going, e.g. "Only the top 5".
  • Charts are drawn in QGIS from Genie One's own chart definition: bar, line, area, scatter and pie, including dual axes and stacked bars. If Genie One returns chart-shaped data without a chart, the plugin draws a simple one and labels it "Chart drawn by the plugin…".
  • Genie One needs to be enabled in your workspace. If it isn't, you'll see "Genie One is not available on this workspace".
  • Results respect your Unity Catalog permissions.
