About Rob Taroncher

Hi, I'm Rob. I build AI, and I want you to use it well.

I've shipped AI at work and built my own. Now I teach it.

What I've built

At a previous employer

Catalog Atlas

I built the company's first Databricks AI agent. More than 100 staff used it for catalog questions.

Databricks reports, in its customer story:
  • 80% faster query response times, with Databricks model optimization
  • 450 estimated hours reclaimed a year
  • $33,750 a year in value

“Catalog Atlas changed our operating tempo.”

How I think about AI

It's also what the courses teach.

  • An answer is a draft

    Ask where it came from, then look.

  • Good sources, good answers

    Give AI the right material.

  • Start small, then measure

    Try one real task first.

  • People stay in charge

    Decisions stay with you.
