Databricks updates Genie agent to run multistep tasks unsupervised
Start here
Databricks unveiled an updated version of its AI agent Genie that can complete extended multistep jobs unsupervised, the company says. Genie draws the context it needs from customer data stored on the Databricks platform through an ontology Databricks built. CEO Ali Ghodsi demonstrated his own use of the agent, including analyzing weak spots in an employee satisfaction survey, summarizing a failed sales pitch and preparing a podcast interview. He said leaders at companies with more than 150 employees can get value from such agents. Ghodsi said costs can be capped through Databricks' Unity Gateway, which lets companies set usage limits and swap in cheaper open-weight models.
