Overview

Ask data questions in plain English with Databricks Genie - build spaces, curate business language, and monitor quality.

Business users shouldn't wait hours for a data team to answer straightforward questions. Databricks Genie turns plain English into instant, accurate SQL — this course shows you how to make the most of it.



Ask Questions and Refine Your Prompts


Ask your first natural-language questions in a Genie space and interpret the results. Learn the prompt formula — what, when, how, plus constraints — and refine vague queries into precise insights. You'll see how Genie's compound AI system combines an LLM, Unity Catalog metadata, and a SQL warehouse to deliver answers in seconds.



Build and Configure Genie Spaces


Create a Genie space from scratch: select data sources, write parameterized example queries that route common questions to verified SQL, and add instructions and filters that guide users toward accurate answers.



Teach Genie Your Business Language


Bridge the gap between business terms and technical column names with synonyms, descriptions, and table relationships. Define SQL examples for complex KPIs that Genie can't auto-generate, so every answer reflects how your organization measures success.



Monitor, Trust, and Improve


Spot failed queries on the monitoring page, diagnose root causes, and feed fixes back into your space. Lock down critical metrics with Trusted Assets and benchmark accuracy over time so your space keeps getting smarter.
