Demo: Genesis Highlights
About this video
Genesis began as a way to make OneStream faster to configure and evolved into something far more significant: a plug-and-play architecture that distills expert platform knowledge into reusable building blocks. What started with a faster CubeView expanded into complete dynamic models built in minutes.
The next chapter doubles down with AI-assisted selection, configuration, and navigation, making the platform accessible to more people without requiring deep technical expertise. Structure matters because the frame tells the story, and Genesis ensures more Finance professionals can build the right frame.
Key takeaways
- Genesis started with one faster component and evolved into a complete platform development paradigm. A more intuitive CubeView expanded into layouts, dashboards, and full dynamic in-memory models.
- Speed of delivery changes what Finance teams believe is possible. When full models take minutes, the conversation shifts from how long will this take to what else can we build.
- Genesis is not about new capabilities. It is about removing friction from the ones already there. Expert platform knowledge becomes reusable building blocks so teams assemble solutions without starting from scratch.
- Reusable components snap together into complete, connected Finance experiences across every major workflow. Planning, close, operations, analytics, and administration all covered on one unified platform.
- AI-assisted selection, configuration, and navigation make Genesis accessible to more of the Finance team. Structure matters because the frame tells the story. AI ensures more users can build the right frame.

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.
