We are proud to reveal our new IntuitionIQ™ Forecasting Engine. ⭐ It forecasts off vibes, opinions, and last year’s slide deck. Launching this April 31, 2026. … If only it were that easy. Behind every “overnight” AI success story is months (or years) of collecting, cleaning, and actually understanding the data. On April 1, we can joke about vibe-based forecasting. On April 2, it’s back to making sure our models are built on something much more solid. . . . #AprilFools #AIForecasting #AIReadyData #DataGovernance #AIGovernance

“We connected the LLM to our documents. So it should work.” Technically? Yes. In reality? Not always. Many enterprise AI assistants rely on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG = the process of optimizing the output of a large language model) and asking an LLM to generate answers. It works in demos, but in real environments context gets lost and relationships disappear. The results are hallucinations. incomplete answers, loss of trust. The real challenge is representing knowledge in a way AI can actually understand. Below we explain why many AI assistants fail in production and what architecture makes them trustworthy. 👇

Our CMO, Kristian Gravelle, was recognized in CXO Magazine®’s March 2026 edition! In this post, he shares a few principles that guide how we think about data, AI, customers, and leadership at Adastra: building a culture of data democratization, starting with real business problems, and keeping insight and storytelling at the center. We see these ideas reflected daily in how our teams partner with clients to turn data into trusted decisions and better customer experiences.

💡 Most organizations are somewhere between "we should do something with AI" and "we have some idea what that is, but how does it look in practice?" So I built an AI App, on Databricks and recorded a 10 Min walkthrough. This might be a good starting point. 1️⃣ We asked real questions about the content. 2️⃣ Then we uploaded a new document mid-session, re-indexed, and asked again. 3️⃣ No slides. 🎯 If you're a tech manager, a business leader, a solution architect or anyone who keeps sitting through vendor meetings full of beautiful PowerPoints but no substance, this 10 minute demo might help you picture a little bit what "AI on your own data" could actually look like. Everyhing on one platform, Databricks. I hope it is helpful. Theory without application is just entertainment. 📽️ Link with the demo walkthrough in comments. Happy weekend! #DatabricksRAG, #DatabricksApps #Databricks #AI #LLM #AIEngineering #Lakehouse #DeltaLake #GenAI #RAG Adastra

One Adastra in action 🌍   At our Prague office, we brought together our Sales teams from the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany for a joint session focused on alignment, shared priorities, and what’s ahead.   Because in a fast-evolving data & AI landscape, success doesn’t come from working in silos. It comes from acting as one team - sharing experience, learning from each other, and moving forward with a common vision.   This is what One Adastra means in practice: connected teams, aligned across markets, delivering consistent value to our clients.   And as every good session should, this one continued informally - over a beer and a classic Czech fried cheese.   #OneAdastra #Adastra #Teamwork #Sales #DataAndAI #Collaboration

Ontologies + Fabric IQ are more than just new features, they’re a step towards aligning data platforms with how businesses actually think and operate. Great to have our team on the ground at #FabCon SQLCon 2026 experiencing this shift firsthand.

Have you noticed that not all AI investments create equal value? In some organizations AI quickly finds its place and starts delivering results, while in others it remains stuck in experiments and pilots. Often the difference is not the technology itself, but how the organization works with data - how accessible it is, how well it is managed, and whether it is ready for broader use. Take a look at how data maturity and AI maturity are connected. 👇 #AImaturity
