About the role

The lakehouse-only bet, bring your data into one lake, bring a fast engine to query it there, held up for years.
Agents don't sit inside one lake and wait their turn.
They reason across the whole estate, firing off queries at production speed, and they generate new questions mid-reasoning based on what they just found.
