# Genie Code AI Assistant for ML

**Genie Code** is an AI-powered conversational assistant integrated into Databricks notebooks that helps data scientists and ML practitioners across the entire machine learning lifecycle. It can perform fully automated exploratory data analysis, accelerate data preparation, provide intelligent AutoML, generate deployment code, and diagnose model serving endpoint issues. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

## Overview

Genie Code acts as an interactive AI assistant within the Databricks notebook environment, accessible via natural language chat. It leverages [Unity Catalog](/concepts/unity-catalog.md) to discover and understand the data assets in the workspace, and it generates executable code (Python, SQL) that users can review, modify, and run. The assistant covers the full workflow from initial data exploration through production monitoring, reducing repetitive coding tasks and accelerating iteration. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

## Capabilities Across the ML Lifecycle

### Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

Genie Code can perform fully automated EDA or act as an interactive assistant, helping data scientists understand distributions, detect anomalies, and generate summary statistics and visualizations through natural language prompts. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

### Data Preparation and Feature Engineering

Genie Code accelerates data discovery by browsing Unity Catalog to find relevant tables. It suggests feature transformations and generates code for data ingestion and feature pipelines, integrating with the [Feature Store](/concepts/feature-store.md) for both batch and real-time serving. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

### Model Training (AutoML)

Genie Code provides intelligent AutoML capabilities: it takes natural language requests describing the ML problem and builds full multi-notebook workflows. These workflows include featurization, training, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation, and model registration — all orchestrated automatically. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

### Deployment and Serving

For model deployment, Genie Code generates code for batch inference and real-time serving endpoints. It can also diagnose issues and performance problems for [Model Serving](/concepts/model-serving.md) endpoints, helping practitioners troubleshoot latency, errors, or throughput bottlenecks. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

### Experiment Tracking and Governance

While Genie Code does not directly manage experiments, it integrates with the broader Databricks platform that uses [Databricks-Managed MLflow](/concepts/databricks-managed-mlflow.md) for tracking. The workflows it generates automatically log parameters, metrics, and model versions to the registry, linking back to training runs, datasets, environments, and git commits. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]

## Integration with Unity Catalog

Genie Code's data discovery capabilities are built on Unity Catalog. It can browse governed tables, understand schema and tags, and suggest relevant datasets for feature engineering or model training. This allows the assistant to work within the organization's existing governance boundaries. ^[databricks-data-science-and-ml-capabilities-databricks-on-aws.md]
