Genie Spaces or Genie Code? Databricks AI Explained

First Databricks introduced Genie Spaces, then Genie Code. Here's the difference. → Genie Spaces sits where business questions get asked. Chat, dashboards, reporting. No SQL required. → Genie Code sits where the engineering happens. Notebooks, pipelines, dashboard authoring, MLflow. The detail worth knowing if you're rolling this out to a team: both run on the same Unity Catalog governance layer. An analyst's chart in Genie Spaces and a data scientist's notebook in Genie Code are pulling from the same governed source of truth, not two separate systems with their own rules. Save this for the next time someone asks which Databricks assistant they should be using.
