Genie

Databricks unveiled an updated version of its AI agent Genie, which can now perform multi-step jobs that take extended work to finish. The company says leaders can assign a wide range of tasks and the agent completes them unsupervised. CEO Ali Ghodsi showed TechCrunch how he uses it internally.

Databricks has made Genie Ontology generally available. It is an agent-built, human-governed context layer for enterprise agents. In a benchmark built with Turing, Databricks says Genie with Genie Ontology passed 91% of enterprise task runs while using less than half the tokens of the stronger frontier agent.
