Databricks Genie Agents add document analysis and MCP connectors

Databricks said Genie Agents can now answer questions across governed lakehouse tables and large document collections stored in Unity Catalog volumes, returning page-level citations. The unstructured data analysis feature is in public preview. Native MCP connectors are now generally available, letting agents read data from tools including Jira, Slack and Google Drive and take action there. Lakeflow Connect brings app data from systems such as Salesforce, Workday, SAP and Marketo into Unity Catalog for the same agent to query.

Databricks also added OpenSharing support and Genie Clean Rooms in beta, so customers can share a governed agent with partners or customers without exposing underlying data. Admins manage connections through Unity Gateway. The company cited customers including Unilever, HelloFresh, General Motors, Atlassian and ModMed using Genie Agents.
