Genie Code turns data engineering, data science and analytics ideas into autonomous production systems

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Databricks, the Data and AI company, today launched Genie Code, an autonomous AI agent that fundamentally changes how data work gets done. Genie Code can carry out complex tasks such as building pipelines, debugging failures, shipping dashboards, and maintaining production systems. On real-world data science tasks, Databricks found Genie Code more than doubled the success rate of leading coding agents. Just as agentic coding tools have transformed software engineering, moving developers from autocomplete-style assistance to agent-driven development, Genie Code brings the same paradigm shift to data engineering, data science, and analytics. 

Genie Code is a new addition to Genie, which lets any knowledge worker chat with their data and get trusted answers instantly using the context and semantics captured by Unity Catalog. Genie Code extends this approach to data professionals, handling the complex engineering required to go from idea to production across all enterprise data. Additionally, today Databricks announced the acquisition of Quotient AI, an innovator in evaluation and reinforcement learning for AI agents, to embed continuous evaluation directly into Genie and Genie Code.

Rise of Agentic Data Work
Today’s data tools treat AI as a helper — writing code, running local tests, iterating on it. This leaves data teams doing the hard work of planning, orchestrating, operating, validating and maintaining. Genie Code inverts this approach. It reasons through problems, plans multi-step approaches, writes and validates production-grade code, and maintains the result — all while keeping humans in control of the decisions that matter.

“Software development has shifted from code-assistance to full agentic engineering in the past six months,” said Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and CEO of Databricks. “Genie Code brings this revolution to data teams. We’re moving from a world where data professionals are assisted by AI to one where AI agents do the work, guided by humans. We are calling this Agentic Data Work. It will fundamentally change how enterprises make decisions.”

What Genie Code Does
Existing agentic coding tools have trouble accomplishing data tasks because they lack access to critical context like lineage, usage patterns and business semantics. Genie Code helps teams bridge the context gap to ensure the high levels of accuracy and governance required for production environments. Genie Code:

• Acts as an expert machine learning engineer: Genie Code handles full ML workflows end-to-end. It reasons through complex problems to plan, write, and deploy models, while logging experiments to MLflow and fine-tuning serving endpoints for peak performance.
• Embeds deep data engineering expertise: While a novice engineer might write a script that works on test data, Genie Code designs like a senior architect. It accounts for the differences between staging versus production environments, builds workflows for change data capture and applies data quality expectations.
• Proactively maintains and optimizes: Genie Code monitors Lakeflow pipelines and AI models in the background to triage failures and investigate anomalies. It autonomously analyzes agent traces to fix hallucinations and tunes resource allocation before a human intervenes.
• Understands enterprise context: Integrated with Unity Catalog, Genie Code enforces existing governance policies and access controls. It understands business semantics and audit requirements and federates enterprise data, including data from external platforms.
• Improves over time: Genie Code grows smarter the more teams use it. Through persistent memory, it automatically updates internal instructions based on past interactions and coding preferences. On real-world data science tasks, Databricks found Genie Code more than doubled the success rate of leading coding agents (from 32.1% to 77.1%). 

“At SiriusXM, Genie Code supports everything from authoring notebooks and complex SQL to reasoning through table relationships and debugging pipelines,” said Bernie Graham, VP of Data Engineering, SiriusXM. “It acts as a hands-on development partner that helps our data teams deliver high-quality work in less time.”

“Genie Code changes how our data teams operate,” said Emilio Martín Gallardo, Principal Data Scientist, Data Management & Analytics at Repsol. “Instead of stitching together notebooks, pipelines, and models manually, we can hand off complex workflows to an AI partner that understands our data, governance, business context, and internal libraries such as Repsol Artificial Intelligence Products. It accelerates everything from time series forecasting to production deployment, without sacrificing rigor or control.”

Acquisition of Quotient AI Strengthens Continuous Evaluation
To close the loop on production quality, Databricks has acquired Quotient AI. Quotient automatically monitors agent performance — measuring answer quality, catching regressions early, and pinpointing failures — feeding a reinforcement learning loop that keeps agents improving over time. Quotient’s founders bring deep expertise in evaluating AI coding systems, having previously led quality improvement for GitHub Copilot. By embedding these capabilities into Genie Code, Databricks ensures data and AI systems don’t just run in production, they continuously improve.

About Databricks
Databricks is the Data and AI company. More than 20,000 organizations worldwide — including Adidas, AT&T, Bayer, Block, Mastercard, Rivian, Unilever, and over 60% of the Fortune 500 — rely on Databricks to build and scale data and AI apps, analytics, and agents. Headquartered in San Francisco, Databricks offers a unified Data Intelligence Platform that includes Lakebase, Genie, Agent Bricks, Lakeflow, Lakehouse, and Unity Catalog.

NUREMBERG, Germany, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As pet owners increasingly pursue data-driven and scientific pet care, pet collars are evolving beyond simple identification tools into intelligent devices integrating positioning, health monitoring, and behavior analysis.

Fibocom’s MQ771-GL addresses the demanding requirements of this vertical market with multiple key advantages.

Ultra-Low Power in a Compact Design: Ending Battery Life Anxiety

For pet owners, size and power consumption remain the biggest challenges for smart collars. The MQ771-GL is deeply optimized in both aspects.

• Ultra-compact form factor (17.7 mm × 15.8 mm) enables manufacturers to maximize device design flexibility.
• PSM current as low as 1 μA significantly reduces power consumption during deep sleep, delivering 70–90% improvement compared with the previous generation.
• eDRX technology dramatically lowers standby current, ensuring extremely low power consumption when the collar is idle. In real-world scenarios, device battery life can be extended from days to several months, enabling long-lasting companionship for pets.

Global Connectivity: Keeping Pets Connected Everywhere

The MQ771-GL supports global Cat.M / NB-IoT frequency bands, ensuring reliable connectivity across regions.

• Multi-mode network switching allows the module to automatically select the optimal network whether pets are in dense urban areas, remote outdoor environments, or even traveling internationally.

Comprehensive Health Monitoring and Behavior Insights

With strong processing capabilities, MQ771-GL supports integration of multiple sensors, enabling developers to build advanced monitoring features.

• Behavior analysis: accurately detects barking patterns and activity frequency.
• Physiological monitoring: supports efficient transmission of heart rate and respiratory data, enabling data-model analysis of sleep quality and early detection of potential health issues.

Sunzhi Liu, General Manager of Wireless Communications at Fibocom, commented:

“MQ771-GL represents a milestone product in our LPWA portfolio. By combining Qualcomm’s advanced chipset capabilities with Fibocom’s extensive communication expertise, we aim to deliver a highly integrated, cost-effective, and high-performance platform for the pet technology market.
