Databricks on Wednesday unveiled an updated version of its AI agent Genie, which can now perform multistep jobs that take extended work to finish. It does this through an ontology that Databricks built to give Genie the context it needs from the information that customers store on the Databricks platform.
Corporate leaders can now assign the agent a wide range of tasks, and it will complete them unsupervised, the company says. To prove the point, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi showed me how he uses it internally. Instead of a product demo, he fired up his actual agent and walked me through his most recent chats and charts.
