US data and AI platform company offering lakehouse architecture, data engineering and ML services, and building enterprise agent
Databricks has launched a new generation of Genie, an always-on autonomous AI coworker that scores 91% on enterprise tasks, delivering 1.6x the accuracy of the stronger of two frontier agents while using under 50% of the tokens. Its differentiator is Genie Ontology, a context layer that automatically learns how a business actually operates from its data, queries, dashboards and notebooks.
Databricks unveiled an upgraded version of its Genie AI agent, which uses a purpose-built ontology to supply context from customer data stored on the platform, enabling unsupervised completion of multi-step, long-running tasks. CEO Ali Ghodsi demonstrated real internal usage spanning employee-satisfaction analysis, sales-pitch postmortems and interview prep, and said agent costs can be capped via Unity Gateway usage limits and cheaper open-weight model swaps.
