Building Agents on Databricks with Custom Apps and Omnigent
Databricks launches AgentBricks platform with Omnigent harness for enterprise multi-agent orchestration
Databricks showcased new agent-building capabilities announced at their Data+AI Summit, featuring AgentBricks (an agent development platform with Unity AI Gateway governance), the Omnigent meta harness built on OpenAI Agents SDK, and native support for custom MCP servers with lake-based long/short-term memory. The demo illustrated a real-world store operations agent orchestrating multiple tools including Genie data spaces, custom MCP servers, and Confluence, with traces logged in MLflow. This signals Databricks positioning itself as a full-stack enterprise agentic platform competing with Azure AI Foundry and Vertex AI Agent Builder.
