Summary
Databricks on Wednesday unveiled an updated version of its AI agent Genie, which can now perform multi-step 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.

Positives
- The report adds a new data point to the technology market.
- The development may create new product, research, or competitive opportunities.
Risks & concerns
- He showed me how it analyzed the parts of an employee satisfaction survey where the company didn’t score well, and how it helped him rate (and discard) fixes for those low scores that some executives suggested.
