Databricks has added a new agent, the Data Science Agent, to the Databricks Assistant, in an effort to help data practitioners automate analytics tasks.
The agent, which is available now in preview and is expected to be rolled out soon to enterprise customers, can be toggled from inside the Assistant window in Notebooks and the SQL Editor, and builds on the Assistant’s functionality to accelerate users’ work, the company said in a blog post.
It said that data practitioners can use the agent for tasks such as data exploration, training machine learning models, and diagnosing and fixing errors.
