**Agenda:**
**5:00-5:30p.m Happy Hour**
**5:30 (45–60 min) — AI-Ready Semantic Layers: from ontology to Genie**
**\- The problem: metric views give agents dimensions & formulas\, not part\-of / is\-a / rolls\-up\-to — and Genie Ontology only infers what your assets already encode \(the "right answer\, wrong rollup" failure — not a model problem\)\.**
**\- The moat: the platform moved the floor; the domain\-specific semantic layer \(metric views\, glossaries\, ontology\) is still the differentiator\.**
**\- The build: rapid discovery with the Ontology Accelerator → where to model non\-metric concepts \(tables vs\. UC semantics vs\. ontology vs\. agent\) → two live demos \(infer vs\. supply; end\-to\-end Genie Agent\)\.**
**6:30 (\~60 min) — Consort (open source)**
