Frontier GenAI beyond chatbots

AI Foundations

Nordisk Film Cinemas, a major cinema operator, partnered with Halfspace to open their Datahub to the whole organisation, putting trusted answers in the hands of every cinema and head office alike.

In Brief →

Challenge

Nordisk Film Cinemas had the data, but not the access. The answers sat behind SQL: a handful of specialists held the keys, and everyone else queued for reports.

Solution

A Datahub assistant that answers plain-language questions with governed numbers, right in the chat tool people already use. From the boardroom to the box office, anyone can now simply ask.

Focus

Trust first. The most important questions come pre-built, every number shows the query behind it, and access is controlled in one place.

Democratising data across every cinema

Nordisk Film Cinemas had already invested in a solid Datahub, bringing ticketing, sales, and operational data together in one place. The value, though, sat behind a skillset. If you could write SQL you had the business at your fingertips. If you could not, you asked someone who could and waited.

Halfspace connected the Datahub to the chat interface the organisation already worked in, so asking the business a question feels like asking a colleague. Trusted answers to the questions that matter most are pre-built, so the numbers are right every time, while open exploration is there for everything else. Every answer shows the query behind it, which is what turned curiosity into confidence.

Governance was part of the build, not an afterthought. Unity Catalog and clear descriptions of the data give the assistant the business context behind every number, and access is controlled centrally, so Nordisk Film Cinemas can keep widening use with confidence.

What started as a four-week proof of value is now part of daily operations. Cinema managers check on their own performance without waiting for head office, and head office spots patterns across the country in the same conversation. Along the way, questions nobody had thought to ask before turned into concrete commercial opportunities, which paid for the project within six months.
