Genie is an AI-powered chat system for biGENIUS-X that provides assistance for data modeling tasks or general questions about the application.
It combines intent detection, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and a unified model proposal expert to deliver contextually appropriate responses for data warehouse design and biGENIUS-X modeling questions.
Overview
Genie includes the following capabilitiesto answer questions:
- Knowledge Assistance: answers based on the biGENIUS-X Knowledge Base content
- Model Proposals: create detailed data models based on user requirements. Generates structured proposals with model object specifications, including model objects, terms, relationships, wizard recommendations, and implementation guidance tailored to the user's chosen modeling methodology.
- Data Vault Expert: answers based on Data Vault modeling expertise around the Web
- Dimensional Expert: answers based on Dimensional modeling expertise around the Web
Depending on your project's Generator Configuration, the Data Vault or the Dimensional Expert is available.

Genie content
Here is the answer to a question based on the used capability.

Then, it displays the answer:
Knowledge assistance
When opening Genie or starting a new chat for Knowledge assistance, some example questions are here:
You can write your question into the prompt.
Example:
- Prompt:
- Which layers must be included in a good data vault architecture?
- biGENIUS Knowledge answer:
Model proposal
When starting a new chat for Model Proposal, some example questions are here:
You can write your question into the prompt.
Example:
- Prompt:
- If I have a source containing customer data, which object must I model in the raw vault area?
- Answer:
The modeling proposal is always related to your Project Generator Configuration. In this example, we use a Generator with Data Vault modeling.
So, the answer includes Hub and Satellite, and not Fact and Dimension.
Data Vault or Dimensional Expert
When starting a new chat for Data Vault or Dimensional Expert, you can write your question into the prompt.
Example:
- Prompt:
- Which layers must be included in a good data vault architecture?
- Answer:
You noticed that the answer differs for the same question when using the Knowledge Assistance or the Data Vault (or Dimensional) Expert.
The Knowledge Assistance is based on the biGENIUS-X Knowledge Base content rather than the Experts on the Web content.
Genie chat input
In the Genie chat input field:
You can enter your question.
In a Project, the Project context is known by Genie. You can include a Model Object in your question by using the key character @:
Then, you can select one or the other existing Model Object in your Project.
Some advice to have a good prompt:
-
