Databricks says the new always-on Genie is coming soon to preview and beta programs. The company says the current Genie and Genie Ontology are already generally available to customers.
The new mode is meant to keep working after a person sets a goal. Databricks says always-on Genie would run in the background on its own compute, delegate tasks to sub-agents, and reach out when a person needs to make a decision. It says a priority inbox would show items that need attention, and that each new alert would arrive as its own email. It says every action would stay inside Unity Catalog permissions and Unity Gateway approval rules and budgets.
Search and the ontology manager are in the same preview track. Databricks says Genie Search and Ontology Manager are also coming soon to preview and beta, not general availability. It says Genie Search is meant to look across the lakehouse and apps including Google Drive, Jira, and Confluence, and that it offers more than 100 connectors. It says Ontology Manager would let teams manage business definitions in one place.
The current product is the one customers can use now. Databricks says the generally available Genie already turns business data into answers inside a customer's existing environment. It says teams can use Genie in a browser, a mobile app, email, and other tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot Cowork, and Grok Bot. The announcement is dated November 11, 2026, from San Francisco.
Reports built by the agent are supposed to stay current. Databricks says Genie can generate slides, dashboards, and interactive reports that stay tied to governed data and update as that data changes.
