Databricks Advances Agentic Data Work with Genie Code and Quotient AI

Databricks has launched Genie Code, an autonomous AI agent designed to handle data engineering, data science, and analytics workflows end-to-end. Databricks describes the agent as going beyond code assistance, capable of reasoning through problems, planning multi-step approaches, writing and validating production-grade code, and maintaining the result. Alongside the launch, Databricks announced the acquisition of Quotient AI, a platform specializing in evaluation and reinforcement learning for AI agents. Quotient’s capabilities will be embedded across Genie, Genie Code, and Agent Bricks to provide continuous performance monitoring, regression detection, and automated improvement cycles.
