Databricks’ new AI agent tells CEO Ali Ghodsi the unvarnished truth
Genie helped Ghodsi examine weak employee survey scores, reject proposed fixes and dissect a failed sales pitch.
Databricks says the updated agent can complete extended, multi-step tasks unsupervised, using an ontology that gives it context from customers’ data. Ghodsi showed TechCrunch his actual internal chats and charts, including features a sales prospect wanted before buying. He described its value at a 12,000-person company, where employees may hesitate to bring bad news directly to the CEO. Databricks is pitching Genie as an always-on agent for business leaders.
