Account-level Genie
Account-level Genie is a unified analytics view across all workspaces in your Databricks account. Business users can discover and interact with shared assets (such as AI/BI dashboards, Genie spaces, and Databricks Apps) from multiple workspaces in a single entry point.
Unlike the workspace-level Genie experience, which is scoped to a single workspace, account-level Genie lets users view and navigate assets from any workspace they have access to in the account.
Features
Account-level Genie brings together the features in individual workspace-level Genie into an account-wide experience. It includes the following features:
- Homepage: A unified view of assets across all workspaces in your account. Surfaces recently accessed content, trending assets, and your favorites, regardless of which workspace the assets belong to.
- Cross-workspace search: Find assets shared across all workspaces in your account. Search results include dashboards, Genie spaces, and Databricks Apps from any workspace you have access to, scoped to your permissions.
- Recommendations and favorites: The homepage surfaces recommended assets based on your usage patterns across workspaces. Mark an asset as a favorite by clicking the star icon next to its name. Favorites are available across all workspaces from the account-level view.
- Chat and Genie spaces: Ask natural language questions about your data across workspaces. Genie spaces provide a shared conversational interface where you can collaborate with teammates on data questions.

Data handling and processing
Account-level Genie is an account-wide discovery and search surface for dashboards, Genie spaces, Databricks Apps, and other assets that you have permission to access. When you open an asset, it opens in the originating workspace.
What data is aggregated and how it is processed
Account-level Genie aggregates set of data (such as asset identifiers, titles, and usage and audit events) to power account-wide search, recommendations, and cross-workspace discovery. Customer content (tables, dashboard data, charts, and similar objects) is not aggregated. This aggregated data is sent to US-based Databricks services, even when your workspaces run in non-US regions (such as EU deployments). Customer content remains stored in the workspace region.
If your data residency or compliance policies do not permit sending this aggregated data to US-based services, disable account-level Genie using the control described in Enable account-level Genie. Disabling the feature stops account-level Genie from sending this aggregated data to US-based services. Disabling the feature does not delete existing audit and system logs that reference account-level Genie activity.
Workspaces using the compliance security profile are excluded
Account-level Genie does not aggregate data from workspaces with the compliance security profile enabled.
