Databricks makes Genie app for Slack generally available

Databricks announced that its Genie app for Slack is now generally available. Slack users with a Databricks account can message Genie directly or mention it in a channel, and it returns answers, tables, and charts using the asker's permissions across Unity Catalog and connected sources. Responses cite their sources. Genie can also prepare changes in other tools through MCP connectors, which require user approval, run scheduled analyses, analyze uploaded files, and post visualizations in threads. Admins install the app from the Slack Marketplace and configure channel settings; Genie One is the default, though channels can be pinned to a specific Genie Agent.
