Databricks introduced a new version of Genie capable of completing multi-step business tasks without human supervision. The product relies on Genie Ontology, a layer that maps company data, its relationships and its meaning to give the agent the context it needs. The launch also includes Agent mode, which improves reasoning and supports unstructured data such as PDFs and images stored in Unity Catalog. Genie Ontology is scheduled for general availability on November 9, 2026, while the Chrome extension and the Genie One desktop app for Windows are set to enter beta on November 10 and 11, 2026, respectively. More than 1.5 million Genie Spaces had been created by mid-2026, and usage-based pricing remains in place without per-seat fees, with up to $10 in free credits per user each month.
