Using Databricks Genie

I asked your Finance Genie space. Genie built the query on its curated tables, and here is what came back.

Top 5 customers by Q3 revenue

  • Northwind Logistics. $1.42M in Q3, up from $1.18M in Q2.
  • Contoso Retail. $1.09M in Q3, flat versus $1.07M in Q2.
  • Fabrikam Health. $0.87M in Q3, down from $0.95M in Q2.
  • Tailspin Air and Litware. $0.71M and $0.64M. Litware is new to the top 5 this quarter.

How Genie got there

  • Source. Genie used the finance.revenue_by_customer table, with revenue counted at invoice date.

Frequently asked questions about Databricks Genie

Ask questions to your Genie spaces, wait for Genie's answer, and read the query results it returns. The tools are read-only: agents do not change your data or your Genie spaces.
With Databricks SQL, the agent writes and runs SQL itself. With Genie, the agent asks a question and Genie writes the query using the tables and instructions your data team set up in the space.
An admin enters your Databricks workspace URL and the client ID and secret of a Databricks OAuth app. Dust then connects to the Databricks-managed Genie MCP server with OAuth. The connection can be shared by the workspace or set up per user.
