Genie Agent

Enhanced lineage and entity matching capabilities.

What it does

Genie Agents are now integrated with Unity Catalog, allowing users to visualize and track lineage effectively. This integration enhances data governance by providing a clear view of data flow and transformations. Additionally, users can perform bulk actions for entity matching, including adding, removing, and refreshing entities, streamlining the management of data relationships.

Why it matters

These improvements significantly enhance data governance and operational efficiency for organizations.
