# Genie Agents

Databricks released Genie plugins that let agents in ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot Cowork and Grok Bot reach enterprise context through the Genie MCP server. Previously an agent facing a business question started a live search, hopping between MCP servers, opening documents and trying tables with little sense of where the right answer lived. With the plugin, Genie interprets business terms through Genie Ontology, finds data the user is allowed to see, writes and runs SQL, and returns an answer with citations, routing to domain Genie Agents when needed.

Databricks has extended Genie Agents from turning business questions into SQL queries to parsing documents, connecting to enterprise tools and being shared across organizations. Builders attach Unity Catalog volumes holding PDFs, slide decks or images to an agent; custom document parsing keeps tables, figures, headers and footers intact, the agent retrieves the most relevant file content and reasons over it together with structured data, and answers can cite the exact source page. Unstructured data analysis is in public preview, native MCP connectors are generally available, and OpenSharing and Genie Clean Rooms are in beta.
