Purpose, components, and how to create a Genie space
What Genie is (and is not)
A Genie space / Genie Agent is a domain-specific natural-language interface over curated Unity Catalog tables/views. It returns SQL, results, and charts. It is not a general chatbot, not Databricks Assistant in the editor, and not a replacement for certified dashboard KPIs.
Product naming: Genie space in older materials, Genie Agent in current docs. Exam language may use either.
Hard requirements
- Data in Unity Catalog
- Compute: Pro or Serverless SQL warehouse (not Classic)
- On the order of ~30 tables max — curate tightly
- Author configures warehouse; data access is the end user’s UC identity
Create well
- Name the space.
- Pick warehouse.
- Add a small set of tables/views (prefer gold).
- Add sample questions.
- Add domain instructions (definitions, join rules).
- Vet SQL as trusted assets.
- Save and share.
