Building Reliable Conversational Agents with Genie
This course teaches you how to design, build, and maintain a Databricks Genie Space, a natural language interface that enables business users to ask questions about governed data and receive SQL-backed answers without writing code.
You will learn how Genie fits into the Databricks AI/BI product family and how it translates natural language into reliable SQL queries. The course focuses on what it takes to create a Genie Space that delivers accurate, consistent, and trustworthy results.
You will follow a complete end-to-end workflow, from understanding source data and defining benchmarks to configuring and refining a Genie Space using the full set of Knowledge Store curation tools. These include metadata, synonyms, prompt matching, SQL logic, example queries, and text instructions.
You will also learn how to share Genie Spaces with business users through Databricks One, understand how Unity Catalog governance is automatically enforced, and use monitoring and user feedback to continuously improve quality over time.
By the end of the course, you will be able to create and manage a production-ready Genie Space that delivers governed, self-service conversational analytics at scale.
Note: Databricks Academy is transitioning to a notebook-based format for classroom sessions within the Databricks environment, discontinuing the use of slide decks for lectures. You can access the lecture notebooks in the Vocareum lab environment.
