Databricks Genie app for Slack reaches general availability
Start here
Databricks has released its Genie app for Slack to general availability, letting users ask data questions by direct message or @mention and receive answers in the thread, grounded in Unity Catalog permissions. Databricks says every answer cites its sources, and that through MCP connectors Genie can draft document, ticket and record changes for approval before they are run. The app reads only the context of channels it has been invited to and answers each question within the channel where it was asked. Responses are visible to everyone in the channel by default; admins can instead make answers private to the asker as the workspace default. A Databricks account admin must first create a context-based ingress policy to allow secure connectivity between Slack and the Databricks workspace.
