Genie spaces - instructions

[kdroz]

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with Databricks Genie, I have a setup where Genie is based on a Metrics View. In the Metrics View, we have multiple sales related measures and different kinds of revenue measures. Is anyone aware, if there is an option to add some sort of advanced instructions to the Genie? So when user asks for a revenue. Instead of assuming which measure to take, it asks user back as a first step for a clarification?
for example:
user: give me revenue for 2026
Genie: please specify which measure you are interested in

Hello! Yes, this is possible! You can add this to the Instructions Section of your Genie Space. Here's an example:

When users ask about "revenue" without specifying which type, always ask for clarification about which revenue measure they want:

• Total Revenue
• Net Revenue
• Recurring Revenue

Do not assume which revenue measure to use. Always confirm with the user first.

List the exact measure names from your Metrics View so Genie knows what options to present and include example questions and desired responses to train Genie's behavior. Hope this helps!
