Databricks unveiled the new Genie, an always-on autonomous AI coworker that proactively handles long-running work within an organization's guardrails, going beyond Q&A-style assistants.
- Genie Ontology is now GA, serving as the shared business context layer with new knowledge sources and new ways to curate and govern that context.
- New capabilities across Genie Agents and plugins extend the same context to more workflows and external AI tools.
- The pitch: enterprise agents that track changes, follow up, and take action continuously, with ontology-based context governance as the key differentiator.
