Vital Skills: Upskilling Genie Code with Healthcare and Life Sciences skills
Vital Skills is a set of open-source Agent Skills that gives coding agents healthcare and life sciences domain expertise, and Genie Code uses it to apply HLS-specific tools and best practices on Databricks. It addresses general agents silently picking clinical thresholds and defaulting to generic statistical methods. On BiomniBench, Genie Code with Vital Skills outscored Genie Code alone on supported in-scope tasks, with better consistency, accuracy and rigor, fewer missed steps and retries, and closer adherence to industry standards.
From spot fixes to measured gains: improving document extraction accuracy with ai_extract and MLflow Prompt Registry
Improve ai_extract accuracy by matching the fix to the problem: schema descriptions for field-level rules, prompts for document-level logic, precision mode for structural complexity, and citations to diagnose errors. Version prompts and schemas in MLflow Prompt Registry, deploy or roll back via aliases, and compare candidates against human-reviewed ground truth before promotion, with Genie Code automating much of this eval-and-fix loop.
Unlocking Investment Insights Without Migrating Your Data: Lakehouse Federation
Databricks Lakehouse Federation lets you query on-premise databases directly with standard SQL, while FactSet financial data from the Databricks Marketplace shows up as a native catalog, so neither dataset needs an ingestion pipeline or a copy. A single SQL join across the two catalogs powers dashboards and Genie natural-language queries for portfolio and investment insights, with no intermediate objects persisted.
BigQuery to Databricks: A Strategic Framework
This framework lays out how to migrate from Google BigQuery to the open Databricks Lakehouse, unifying governance and consolidating BI, ETL, and multi-model AI in one environment. The result is predictable performance, lower operational overhead through unified workspaces, and an AI-ready foundation that lets SQL teams build advanced data products while keeping TCO low.
