Databricks Free Edition - AI Agent Export Limitation

atharvaghodekar — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 10:15:51 GMT

Hi, I am following the Databricks AI Agent guide to create a custom agent using my functions. However, in the Free Edition, I do not see the option to export the agent from the Playground. Is this feature unavailable in Free Edition, or is there a workaround to deploy AI Agents here?

Hi @atharvaghodekar ,

I guess this is another limitation of Free Edition. Not all functionality are available in Free Edition. If you need to access full set of features you can consider Free Trial version which let's you access all premium features for 14 days for free.

Hi @szymon_dybczak , I was actually referring to exporting a Databricks AI Agent from the Playground:

Thanks for clarifying. I done see it either, so probably this is no supported in Free Edition yet.

Hi @atharvaghodekar,
I couldn’t find any documentation stating that the export button was discontinued on this page, but I tested it on a Premium tier and the “export” option is also no longer available. I believe Export was only available in some “demo / enterprise” workspaces and has likely been removed recently. If anyone finds this mentioned in the documentation, please share it with us.

Ok @atharvaghodekar , so there's no export button (neither on premium workspace as @WiliamRosa stated above).
I think they refactor UI and now the same functionality is under Tools -> Create agent notebook.

So, in tutorial export button is reposonsible for exporting your agent to a Python notebook.

In new UI the same functionality is within Tools -> Create agent notebook.
