Databricks Genie Agents add unstructured data analysis and GA native MCP connectors
matei_zaharia · x · 2026-11-13
Databricks announced two major updates to Genie Agents:
- Unstructured data analysis (public preview): agents can analyze thousands of documents alongside governed data, connecting findings in one conversation with page-level citations — e.g., surfacing the explanation for declining margins buried in analyst reports;
- Native MCP connectors (GA): agents can take action across enterprise tools — creating tickets, updating records, and posting messages.
