Genie Agents can now also analyze unstructured files (PDFs, documents, slide decks, images) stored in Unity Catalog volumes alongside structured tables, with up to 10 volumes attachable per agent and content-search indexing for faster retrieval. Genie Code, the agent curation tool, gained features to build baseline agents from descriptions, diagnose failures, and summarize feedback trends to close knowledge gaps. Users can also share live, updating Genie Agent conversations with teammates and agent authors. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I access Databricks Genie Agent mode from outside the Databricks UI? Databricks now offers Agent mode APIs that let developers integrate multi-step reasoning into custom applications, chatbots, scheduled reports, and internal tools. Responses stream to clients via Server-Sent Events, developers can hold full conversations with follow-ups, retrieve past conversations and messages programmatically, and download visualizations via API. _Teams wiring agent reasoning into their own apps can track API changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Can Databricks Genie Agents analyze PDFs and documents, not just tables? Yes, Genie Agents can now analyze unstructured files stored in Unity Catalog volumes, including PDFs, documents, slide decks, and images, alongside structured table data in the same conversation. Agent builders can attach up to 10 volumes per agent, permissions from Unity Catalog are respected, and content search indexing speeds up retrieval across large document collections. _Anyone combining structured and unstructured data in AI agents can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Introducing Genie Agent Mode](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-genie-agent-mode-leymmzfab) · databricks · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#data-analysis](https://daily.dev/tags/data-analysis), [#rag](https://daily.dev/tags/rag), [#databricks](https://daily.dev/tags/databricks), [#unity-catalog](https://daily.dev/tags/unity-catalog) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/expanding-genie-agents-deep-analysis-file-reasoning-and-more-ldfcas9dw) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Expanding Genie Agents: Deep analysis, file reasoning, and more","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/expanding-genie-agents-deep-analysis-file-reasoning-and-more-ldfcas9dw","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/expanding-genie-agents-deep-analysis-file-reasoning-and-more-ldfcas9dw"},"datePublished":"2026-09-02T17:09:43.844Z","dateModified":"2026-09-02T17:58:03.164Z","description":"Databricks has expanded Genie Agents with new capabilities: Agent mode, which enables multi-step reasoning and research-style reports, is now generally...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/50d741bd7e61aa6f68eed8e03c7e1e3a?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/50d741bd7e61aa6f68eed8e03c7e1e3a?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"databricks","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"databricks","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/fa7aa720f2db4d1eba826814730482c8","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/databricks"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/expanding-genie-agents-deep-analysis-file-reasoning-and-more-ldfcas9dw","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,data-analysis,rag,databricks,unity-catalog","timeRequired":"PT7M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"databricks","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/databricks"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Expanding Genie Agents: Deep analysis, file reasoning, and more"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/expanding-genie-agents-deep-analysis-file-reasoning-and-more-ldfcas9dw#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I access Databricks Genie Agent mode from outside the Databricks UI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Databricks now offers Agent mode APIs that let developers integrate multi-step reasoning into custom applications, chatbots, scheduled reports, and internal tools.
