Databricks Genie app for Slack becomes generally available
Databricks has made its Genie app for Slack generally available, letting employees route data questions to Genie One or a channel-pinned Genie Agent without leaving Slack.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- The Slack app became generally available on November 9.
- Questions can go to Genie One or a channel-pinned Genie Agent.
- Access is constrained by the Slack user’s identity and Unity Catalog permissions.
- Channel visibility must be configured because viewers may lack access to the underlying data.
What is changing?
Databricks made the Slack version of its Genie app generally available on November 9. Users can send the app a direct message or mention @Genie in channels and group DMs to ask data questions.
The app answers through Genie One by default. If a channel owner pins a specific Genie Agent, questions are routed only to that agent. Requests run with the Slack user’s credentials and are constrained by Unity Catalog permissions.
Databricks warns that responses posted publicly in a channel may be visible to members who cannot access the underlying data. Administrators can configure private visibility, while users can also create Genie skills and scheduled tasks from Slack.
