Genie in Slack is now Generally Available: Governed AI cowork, right where work happens

Databricks announced the General Availability of the Genie app for Slack, which answers questions in channels, threads, or DMs using the same governed context and permissions as Genie in Databricks, with every answer citing its sources. Users can @mention Genie in channels or DM it, and through MCP connectors Genie can create or update documents, comment on tickets, and update records with approval before each change, as well as schedule recurring analyses and work with files. Genie in Slack follows the same governance as other Genie surfaces, running each question with the asker's identity across Unity Catalog and connected sources, with admins able to govern AI usage centrally in Unity Gateway.
