Databricks Genie Ontology goes GA: 91% vs 45% agent pass rate via shared business context
CautiousUse8597 · reddit · 2026-11-12
Databricks shipped Genie Ontology to GA: a shared business context layer all agents can use. It learns Ontology Snippets from dashboards/SQL/notebooks, governs exact definitions via certified metrics and Unity Catalog Pages, ranks trust with OntoRank, and exposes context to external agents via Genie MCP. Benchmark: 91% pass rate vs 45%/58% for two frontier agents, 100s vs 300-435s, 432K vs up to 1.05M tokens — the gap is context, not SQL. Ontology Manager Beta is coming.
