What Should Sit on Top of Databricks?
Databricks has become the center of gravity for analytical data. The real question is what should sit on top of it. Many teams are finding that a semantic layer can provide the missing foundation, bringing BI, embedded analytics, and AI together around a single source of truth. Cube is one approach that's gaining traction for exactly this reason.
What this free session will show?
How a semantic layer can serve BI, embedded analytics, and AI from the same metric definitions
How governed Databricks metrics can flow consistently across every user experience
How teams reduce duplication, improve governance, and simplify their analytics stack
On June 30, 2026, Cube is hosting a free 45 minute webinar exploring how organizations are standardizing their BI layer on top of Databricks. You'll see a live demo of the same governed metrics powering dashboards, embedded applications, and conversational AI, all from a single semantic model.
If you're evaluating what belongs above your lakehouse, this session offers a practical framework and a real world example worth exploring.

Claude Tag Lets Your Whole Team Delegate Work to Claude Directly in Slack
Intelligence: Anthropic launched Claude Tag, a Slack-native way for teams to tag Claude directly into channels and delegate tasks to it, with Claude building context over time and working asynchronously so teams can focus on other things while it operates.
One Claude lives in each channel, visible to the whole team, so anyone can pick up where someone else left off and everyone sees what Claude is working on in real time.
Claude can be set to ambient mode, where it proactively flags relevant updates, follows up on stalled threads, and keeps the team informed without being asked.
At Anthropic, 65% of the product team's code is already being created through their internal version of Claude Tag, with the same pattern now spreading into support, data, and bug investigation work.
Admins control exactly which tools, data, and channels each Claude instance can access, with separate memory scopes per channel so sales Claude never bleeds into engineering Claude.
Claude Tag is available in beta for Enterprise and Team customers, replacing the existing Claude in Slack app, with a launch credit issued to eligible organizations to help teams try it out.

Oracle's Annual Report Revealed the True Scale of Its AI-Driven Layoffs
Intelligence: Oracle's latest annual report revealed it cut around 21,000 jobs globally over the past year, a 13% reduction in its workforce, as it reshapes its business around AI and cloud infrastructure.
The company explicitly linked the cuts to AI deployment across its operations, warning that further reductions may follow as the technology continues to change how the business runs.
The restructuring cost Oracle about $1.8 billion in severance and related expenses, a significant jump from the $374 million it spent on restructuring the year before.
Oracle is racing to build AI data center capacity for clients like OpenAI and Meta, with plans to spend at least $50 billion on infrastructure this year alone.
