What This Means for You

🔐 Enterprise Security Ready
Role-based access control, secrets management, and proxy authentication mean Genesis meets your security requirements out of the box. Control who can access which agents, protect credentials with encryption, and integrate with your existing SSO infrastructure.

📊 Set It and Forget It
Dashboard scheduling, agent slots, and continuous mode let Genesis work for you 24/7. Schedule your critical dashboards to refresh automatically and let missions run autonomously when appropriate—Genesis handles the rest.

🚀 Deploy Anywhere
Native Databricks support, Helm charts for Kubernetes, and Terraform for AWS EKS give you the flexibility to deploy Genesis wherever your data lives. From Snowflake to Databricks to your own infrastructure, Genesis scales with you.

👤 Built for Teams
User avatars, profile management, and mission search transform Genesis from a tool into a collaboration platform. See who's contributing to conversations, find past missions easily, and make data work more social.

‍

Under the Hood

Performance, reliability, and security improvements that make Genesis more robust:

• Unified WebSocket Architecture: Single reliable WebSocket (unified_v2) for all real-time communication
• Push Notifications: Eliminated polling and SSE for faster, more efficient updates
• JSON Logging: Configurable structured logging with sensitive data redaction
• Security Patches: Resolved CVE-2025-62727 (Starlette) and updated 40+ dependencies
• Automated Security Scanning: Security audit workflow on every commit with regression tracking
• Per-Thread Notification Queues: Improved notification lifecycle for reliability
• Active Completion Lifecycle: Better context management throughout mission execution
• Nudger Authentication Fix: Blueprint nudger now respects authentication and user stop button
• API Version Endpoint: Frontend can query /api/version for application version
• Thread Cost Tool: Enhanced token usage and cost tracking with grandchild thread support
• Cortex Cached Tokens: See cached tokens in usage metrics for Snowflake Cortex
• Thread Title Sync: Fork and import thread titles sync correctly across browser tabs
• Tool Profiles: Reduced context window usage by simplifying tool descriptions
• Docker Image Optimization: Removed node_modules and source files from production images
• About Genesis: Version info accessible from header dropdown menu

‍

Additional Platform Enhancements

Native Databricks Deployment
Genesis now runs natively inside Databricks with PostgreSQL-backed messaging, full WebSocket support, and served React UI. Access the Genesis dashboard directly from your Databricks workspace.

Kubernetes Deployment Options
Deploy Genesis on Kubernetes with our official Helm chart or use Terraform for AWS EKS with managed node groups and EBS CSI driver. Flexible configuration with sensible defaults for all common scenarios.

Synthetic Data Generation Blueprint
Generate realistic test data with our new pre-built blueprint featuring adaptive architecture, strong validation, and production-ready output to databases or files.

Continuous Mode (Renamed)
For clarity, we've renamed mission execution modes:

• Continuous Mode (formerly "Unattended"): Autonomous execution with minimal user input
• Manual Mode (formerly "Interactive"): Pauses at key decision points for guidance

Enhanced AI Provider Configuration
Refreshed Model Configuration UI with tabbed interface for Chat Models and Embeddings, masked credentials, partial updates, and URL-synced tabs for consistent navigation.

Agent Slots & Concurrency Control
Configure maximum concurrent agent operations via GENESIS_AGENT_SLOTS, with intelligent queue management and the new !slots command to view current usage.

Proxy Authentication Support
Deploy behind authentication proxies with header-based auth (X-Forwarded-User), enhanced JWT verification, and flexible enterprise SSO integration.

Fresh Install Experience
Improved first-time setup with LLM configuration guards, automatic reloads when providers are activated, and clear system readiness indicators.

Mission Replay
Review completed missions step by step with play/pause/seek controls, progress timeline, document flow visualization, and clear live vs replay mode indication.

Browser Notifications
Receive browser notifications when missions need input, even when Genesis isn't your active tab—with smart triggering to avoid interruptions.

Multi-File Upload
Upload multiple files at once with drag-and-drop support in chat interface and mission question dialogs.

Plotly is now integrated directly into the chat interface.

Your data conversations can now include live, interactive charts, making it easier to interpret results, share insights, and collaborate visually.

Full Thread Search

Easily search across all your Genesis threads to quickly find context, code, and past results.

It functions like a searchable memory layer for your entire data workflow.

Full Thread Search

We’ve also made several enhancements behind the scenes:
