Hear from Databricks Co-founder & VP of Engineering Patrick Wendell and OpenAI CRO Denise Dresser about how the OpenAI - Databricks partnership creates unique value for enterprise customers:

When enterprises use GPT-5.5 through Databricks, Unity AI Gateway governs both GPT-5.5 model inference and Codex coding workflows through a single control plane. Read more about how Unity AI Gateway governs agentic coding here.

Genie, Databricks' natural language analytics experience, is powered by multiple frontier LLMs from OpenAI and other model providers. Business users can securely interact with complex enterprise data in plain English to explore data, answer ad hoc questions, and automate knowledge work that previously took hours or days. Genie’s deep understanding of enterprise data ontology and business semantics coupled with the ever-improving intelligence from frontier models like GPT-5.5 allow everyday business users to bring powerful data insights to their everyday work.

With GPT-5.5's stronger execution and reasoning capabilities, Agent Bricks Custom Agents can now handle more complex multi-step workflows from document analysis pipelines to automating departmental business processes. Developers can build GPT-5.5-powered agents using their preferred tools and frameworks, then deploy them as fully managed, serverless Databricks Apps.
