Databricks unveils updated Genie AI agent built to work unsupervised

The data platform's revamped agent leans on a new ontology layer to handle multi-step business tasks without a human hovering over it Databricks wants its AI agent to stop asking for permission. On Wednesday, the company unveiled an updated version of Genie that can take on multi-step jobs requiring extended work, and, according to Databricks, finish them without supervision. The core of the update is something Databricks calls an ontology. Think of it as a detailed map of a company’s data: what each table means, how pieces connect, and which numbers matter for which questions. Databricks built this ontology layer to pull context from the information customers already store on its platform. That context is what lets Genie tackle a wide range of assignments without someone guiding each step.
