What is Databricks Genie?
Databricks Genie is the data-smart AI coworker on the Databricks Data + AI Platform. It gives business users natural-language access to governed enterprise data, and because it runs on Unity Catalog-governed assets, answers respect existing permissions and lineage.
Is Genie safe to use with regulated life sciences data?
Genie queries only the data a user is already allowed to see in Unity Catalog, and Kasmo Global sets up Genie spaces on de-identified or aggregated views with row filters and column masks by default. Kasmo Global recommends starting with decision-support questions and treating any GxP use as a validated system with human review.
How long does it take to launch a first Genie space?
Kasmo Global's typical plan delivers a first production Genie space for one team in about 30 days when the data is already on Databricks, and in 60 to 90 days when source systems first need to be brought into the Lakehouse with Lakeflow.
How is Genie priced?
Databricks announced in June 2026 that Genie has no per-user pricing and that each user gets $10 of free monthly credit, so organizations pay for the AI they consume. Confirm current terms with Databricks.
