Demo: Genesis Highlights
About this video
Genesis represents OneStream's evolution from individual platform components to complete, connected Finance experiences built in minutes rather than months. What began as a faster way to configure a single view expanded into a full development paradigm spanning planning, close, operations, analytics, and administration. The result is a platform where structure, speed, and intelligence converge: reusable components snap together into dynamic, in-memory models, and AI-assisted tooling now guides selection, configuration, and navigation at every step. Genesis is not just a faster way to build in OneStream. It is a new standard for how Finance technology gets deployed and experienced.
Key takeaways
- Genesis evolved from a single component to a complete platform experience. What started with a faster, more flexible QView quickly expanded to layouts, advanced dashboards, toolbars, and reusable components. The progression was not planned as a grand redesign but emerged organically as each capability unlocked the next, ultimately spanning every major Finance workflow in OneStream.
- Speed of delivery changes what Finance teams believe is possible. When waterfall charts and complex dashboards can be built in seconds and full models assembled in minutes, the conversation shifts from "how long will this take?" to "what else can we build?" That change in expectation is as significant as the technical capability itself.
- AI-assisted configuration makes the platform accessible to more of the Finance team. By embedding AI guidance into selection, configuration, and navigation, Genesis lowers the barrier to building and deploying OneStream content. Finance teams gain more autonomy, implementation cycles shorten, and the platform scales without proportional increases in IT or consultant dependency.
Video Transcript
With Genesis, a year ago, we started with the QView, the backbone of the OneStream experience. Then something clicked. The parameters just worked. Then we looked at analytics, a waterfall chart built in seconds.
People noticed. But speed was just the beginning. Layouts, advanced dashboards, toolbars, reusable components. Not just parts, but complete experiences. Then something unexpected happened. We went from views to layouts to entire models.
Dynamic. In memory. Built in minutes. Across planning. Close. Operations. Analytics. Administration. More content. So we're doubling down on making it even easier. AI-assisted selection. AI-assisted configuration.
AI-assisted navigation. Because structure matters. The frame tells the story. This is Genesis. This is OneStream.
