What AI assistant integrates with my existing tech stack?

Summary

• Genie One is Databricks' data-smart AI assistant that integrates natively with Slack, Teams, Google Drive, Jira, and SharePoint through live MCP connectors.
• A broad ecosystem of connectors enables Genie to access enterprise data sources while maintaining Unity Catalog governance and row-level access control.
• The Conversation API enables embedding of Genie into any custom application, internal tool, or AI assistant framework.
• Genie's MCP App (Private Preview) brings Genie into Claude, Cursor, and other third-party AI assistants without moving data.
• Mobile apps for iOS and Android provide full query and write-back capabilities with secure authentication and governed access.

What AI assistant integrates with my existing tech stack?
Genie One is a data-smart AI assistant built to work inside existing tools and workflows. It integrates with messaging platforms, productivity apps, and data systems through native connectors and APIs, so teams remain in their existing context rather than switching interfaces. Every integration is governed by Unity Catalog, meaning access control, audit trails, and compliance policies apply automatically, regardless of integration point.

What does integration mean for an AI assistant?

An AI assistant with strong integration doesn't force users into a separate portal or UI. Instead, it operates where teams already work: in Slack, email, project management tools, and data apps. Deep integration also means the assistant has read and write access to connected systems (not just read-only), enabling actions like creating tickets, updating records, or triggering workflows. Finally, integration should preserve existing governance and access controls rather than creating backdoors or duplicate permission systems.

Jira	Live MCP	Query issues, create tasks, run reports; read and write access with automatic access control
SharePoint	Live MCP	Access SharePoint documents and sites with governed queries
Custom Applications	Public Preview	Conversation API for embedding Genie anywhere (web apps, dashboards, chat UIs)
Third-Party AI Assistants	Private Preview	MCP App for Claude, Cursor, and compatible AI tools; Genie acts as a data-aware skill
Mobile (iOS/Android)	Public Preview	Full query and write-back capabilities with secure authentication

How Genie integrates with your tech stack

Messaging first. Genie's Slack integration enables teams to ask questions in the same place they collaborate. Messages get answers without requiring a separate tab or tool.
Data systems with governance. Genie connects to a broad range of data sources through Lakeflow Connect and live MCP read/write connectors. Queries to Jira for project status, Google Drive for document insights, or SharePoint for organizational information are all scoped to authorized access, based on Unity Catalog policies.
Embedding and extensibility. For internal tools or custom dashboards, Genie's Conversation API enables natural-language querying directly in applications. Developers define what data Genie can access in each context, and governance is automatic.
Third-party AI assistance. Genie's MCP App (currently in Private Preview) runs Genie as a skill or context provider inside Claude, Cursor, and compatible AI assistants. This approach lets teams use their preferred AI tool while still accessing governed data through Genie.
Mobile access. iOS and Android apps bring Genie with mobile users. Questions get answered, real-time insights are provided, and actions (like updating tasks) are triggered from anywhere, with the same authentication and access control as desktop.

Governance across integrations

Every integration point respects Unity Catalog. If a user has row-level or column-level restrictions on a table, Genie enforces those restrictions across Slack, mobile, and custom UI queries. Audit logs capture every query and action, giving compliance teams visibility across all integration touchpoints. This eliminates parallel permission systems or manual governance workarounds.

Use cases

Operations teams using Slack. A DevOps team uses Genie in Slack to ask "what's the status of the release?" and gets real-time pipeline metrics without leaving the channel. Governance ensures each team member sees only their project's data.
Project management integration. A product team connects Genie to Jira and builds a dashboard showing sprint velocity, blockers, and resource allocation by querying Jira data through Genie's MCP connector.
Finance and ERP queries. An accounting team embeds Genie's Conversation API into a custom expense dashboard. Genie queries the unified data warehouse where ERP and billing systems are already ingested, providing governed access to employees without direct ERP login credentials.
Distributed teams on mobile. Sales managers use Genie's iOS app to check quota attainment, pipeline status, and account health on phones during customer calls, with queries automatically scoped to territory.

FAQs

Does Genie require adopting a new platform?

No. Genie integrates into existing tools including Slack, Teams, Google Drive, Jira, and custom apps. Organizations can start with one integration and add more as they see value. The Conversation API also enables building custom integrations for unlisted tools.

Can Genie write back to systems, or only read data?

Genie supports live read and write access. In Jira, it can create and update tickets. In Google Drive, it can edit Sheets and Docs. In Slack, it can file reports. Permissions follow existing access control (Unity Catalog), so Genie only performs actions that authorized users can perform.

What if a team uses tools Genie doesn't list?

The Conversation API enables embedding Genie into any web application, custom dashboard, or chat interface. Teams can also request a new MCP connector or build one with an open-source or standard API for their tool.

How does governance work across integrations?

Unity Catalog policies apply everywhere. If a user is restricted from viewing a table, Genie enforces that restriction across Slack, mobile, and custom app queries. Audit logs capture every query across all integrations, giving compliance teams full visibility.

Is Genie available on mobile?

Yes. Genie One is available as iOS and Android apps, with full query and write-back capabilities. Secure authentication and Unity Catalog governance apply on mobile just as they do on desktop.
