Databricks launches Genie, an autonomous AI coworker for long-running enterprise work, answering 91% of benchmark task runs correctly
Databricks released a new version of Genie that turns it from an on-demand data assistant into an autonomous AI coworker that continuously carries long-running enterprise work: it tracks progress, follows up on missing inputs, and acts as new information arrives, while users set guardrails and approve key actions. The autonomy rests on Genie Ontology, which organizes business definitions, metrics, relationships and organizational knowledge into context agents can use. On a new benchmark built with Turing, in the same Databricks workspace, Genie powered by Genie Ontology answered correctly in 91% of task runs, 1.6 times the rate of the stronger frontier agent, while using less than half as many tokens.
