Description
A big step forward: Databricks AI Dev Kit skills are now official Databricks AI Tools! The skills from the AI Dev Kit repository are now delivered as part of Databricks AI Tools, a Databricks engineering-owned repository, built and maintained in close collaboration with field engineering. Link to AI Dev Kit: https://github.com/databricks-solutions/ai-dev-kit Databricks AI Tools are installed and kept up to date directly through the Databricks CLI (databricks aitools install), or through the AI Dev Kit installer, which delegates to the CLI and still guides you through the process. AI Tools work with any agent and include a first-class Genie One integration. In this video I explain more about what is different, future plans, and a walk through the upgrade process. * Thoughts and opinions are my own

TutorialsDatabricks AI Dev Kit: Install for Copilot + VS Code
The video demonstrates how to install the Databricks AI Dev Kit for Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot on Windows, guiding users through the installation script, profile configuration, and skill selection. It then shows how to enable the Databricks tools in Copilot chat and tests its functionality by generating code and executing SQL queries against a Databricks workspace.
TutorialsDatabricks AI Dev Kit Demo - Install, DataGen, SDP, Dashboard
The video demonstrates installing the Databricks AI Dev Kit on a Mac, then uses it to generate synthetic data, create serverless Spark declarative pipelines for a medallion architecture, and build a Databricks dashboard based on the generated data. It highlights how the AI Dev Kit leverages skills and an MCP server to automate these development tasks.
ReleasesIntroducing Databricks AI Dev Kit - Skills, MCP server, Builder App
The Databricks AI Dev Kit provides agent skills, an MCP server, and a Builder App to enhance AI-driven development on Databricks. It allows users to integrate AI coding tools with Databricks best practices, extending LLM capabilities through specialized functions and offering a chat-based interface for building applications.
NewsAI-Driven Development
AI-driven development is a workflow where AI is the primary engine for generating, validating, and maintaining code, shifting the developer's role to directing the AI. Key concepts include the context window (the amount of text an AI model can consider), tokens (processing units for text), and tool use (AI invoking external functions).
NewsClaude Code: 5 Essentials for Data Engineering
The video introduces five essential concepts for using Claude Code in data engineering: the cloud.mmd file for core project information, skills for packaging expertise, commands for predefined prompts, sub-agents for focused tasks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized tool interaction. These components help manage context and memory for effective AI-enhanced development.
TutorialsDatabricks + Cursor IDE: Step-by-Step AI Coding Tutorial
The video demonstrates using Cursor IDE for AI-enhanced Databricks development, focusing on setting up Databricks Connect and leveraging Cursor rules and context for efficient code generation and testing. It shows how to structure projects, write Python and PySpark code, and create unit tests, highlighting the importance of providing clear instructions to the AI agent.
