We’re now in Preview for Glue Data Catalog (S3 data) & Databricks Unity Catalog Integration!
For all customers with Glue Data Catalog with S3 data using Athena (or Databricks Unity Catalog), the Agentic Catalog Experience can be used. To try this, customers can go to Create Data Source (on the structured data side), select Glue Data Catalog (or Databricks) and hit ‘Explore data’
What our customers get:
• Agentic Catalog Experience for GDC and UC — Discover & create catalog representations (Quick Datasets/Topics) using natural language/inherit semantics and relationships. 3 benefits of taking this catalog approach over a direct MCP connection:
- Data teams can create curated context boundaries for their structured data - grounded Q&A (more accurate answers)
- Deterministic dashboards and all other Quick use cases (Q&A and others)
- Unified context in Quick - by having catalog representations (as Datasets and Topics) in Quick, we form the complete context (structured data + Slack + Outlook and other sources) to the end users
YouTube video captures these benefits
