Databricks ships Genie Ontology while always-on agents stay in preview
Databricks made Genie and Genie Ontology generally available, with company context governed by Unity Catalog and Unity Gateway. Genie Search, Ontology Manager and the new always-on Genie—which delegates to subagents, runs background jobs and surfaces decisions—are only coming to preview or beta programs.
Why it matters: The GA ontology is usable enterprise context infrastructure; the proactive agent layer is not yet generally available. Separating them prevents teams from buying a future autonomous workflow as if it were a shipped control plane.
