Hi, 

I was trying to make a dashboard using AI Genie - it worked well for the basics, but was unable to perform some of the modifications that were obviously (via UI) doable. Per Genie's response below - it only knows Databricks documentation up to April 2024. Are there plans to re-train Genie, to allow it to use newer features? If so, whats the timeline.

"

can you access databricks documentation online?

No, I cannot access Databricks documentation online or browse the internet. I can only work with the information from my training data (which has a knowledge cutoff of April 2024) and the data available in your database that I can query through SQL.
For your Databricks environment, I rely on:
  • My training knowledge of Spark SQL syntax and Databricks features up to April 2024
  • The schema information provided to me about your specific tables and columns
  • Results from SQL queries I execute to understand your data structure and formats
If you need information about newer Databricks features or updated documentation, you would need to consult the official Databricks documentation directly or provide me with specific details about features you'd like to use.

Hi,

Just wanted to add to what others have said and make sure its clear, I think you're trying to use a Genie Space to create your dashboard. But Genie code is probably a better tool here. If you have visuals created in a Genie space that you would like on a dashboard you can always screenshot them and give them to Genie Code to create on a dashboard.

Genie code is accessible from the litte lamp icon in the top right -

You want to make sure the agent is selected in the bottom right. If it's not it may not be availble in your region yet. Think of Genie Code as your assistant to build things in databricks.

Genie spaces are the menu item down the side and are there as a text to SQL engine. Ask questions of your data in Natural language.

I hope this helps.


Thanks,

Emma
