Databricks updates Genie AI agent for multi-step tasks

Databricks has announced an updated version of its Genie AI agent designed to handle extended, multi-step jobs without supervision. The system relies on a custom ontology to give the agent context from customer data stored on the platform. Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi demonstrated how he uses the updated tool internally to review low employee satisfaction scores, analyze failed sales pitches, and prepare for interviews. The company is pitching the tool as an always-on assistant for business leaders managing large organizations.
