AI/BI Genie - Call

[MattB]

Hi

Is there any way to call a Genie space from a notebook and get the response ? Is there any API available?

#genie, #databricksgenie, #databricks_genie

[MattB]

Thanks for your response. I could not find any relevant content to integrate Genie into the workflow or on a notebook. Can you please be more specific

[jAAmes_bentley]

To integrate a Genie space with a notebook, you would need to make HTTP requests from the notebook to the Genie API endpoints. This would require custom development and integration work.

Are there any examples or documentation available which provide further details on the HTTP requests involved here? Or any details of the Genie API endpoints in general?

[jAAmes_bentley]

Hi @MattB, did you manage to get much further with this? We currently have the same question, but you are correct that there is no information (which I could find) about serving a Genie endpoint either on the link provided by @Retired_mod or on the model serving documentation.

Hi @Retired_mod, I too have a similar request. Your initial response was that there are no end points for Genie. However in your latest response, you have mentioned that we can achieve this through custom development. Can you please share sample code or point me to the documentation that describe Genie end points?

[jAAmes_bentley]

Quite good timing, I actually went to a Databricks Community event yesterday evening which featured a panel of Senior Solution Architects from Databricks. I raised this point with them and they confirmed that currently Genie has no endpoint, however an endpoint is coming "soon". They didn't clarify how soon "soon" is though!

I definitely want to integrate Genie in other other solutions we're working on.

[jAAmes_bentley]

Hey @kburke, depending on you team's skillsets you may want to check this out: LangChain on Databricks for LLM development | Databricks on AWS - it's kind of like DIY AI/BI Genie.

Since I first joined this thread back in July we used the Langchain SQL Agent to complete and ship a project with really good results so far.

If you have any questions about it feel free to send me a message 😊.

@jAAmes_bentley Which LLM Model you have used while creating serve point ?
Will you share documentation of step you followed for connecting Genie.

Have we got any solution for this requirement? Any idea,when the Rest API for Gen AI will be released?

[jugi]

Also looking for integration of Genie Spaces into M365 Copilot as an Agent. Are there any APIs or even full integrations planned?

I am also waiting for a Genie API.  During one of the product reviews last fall, the presenter said a preview probably in 2025.  Documentation is showing up in the Python SDK (databricks-sdk-py/docs/workspace/dashboards/genie.rst at main · databricks/databricks-sdk-py · GitHu...) for Genie, and there are usable classes in the Java SDK (databricks-sdk-java/databricks-sdk-java/src/main/java/com/databricks/sdk/service/dashboards/GenieAPI...).  However, there is no documentation about a Genie endpoint in the REST API.  It looks like an API preview is on the way but is not yet finalized, best I can say is watch product announcements and maybe try the SDK and see if you can get it to work.
