Kind: release · Impact: medium

## In brief

- On 11 November 2026 Databricks published a post about the new Genie, an autonomous AI for enterprise work.
- Genie can now be given a job that runs on a schedule or trigger, with actions approved as it goes.
- Previously Genie was mainly used to ask questions.

## Why it matters

Teams adopting the new Genie will let an AI agent run jobs unattended, so access, scheduling and approval settings need to be configured before rollout.

## What to do

- Review the approval settings for Genie actions before enabling scheduled or triggered jobs.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-11: Databricks published The new Genie: autonomous AI for complex enterprise work
