Spice AI has expanded its collaboration with Databricks, launching a new integration that empowers enterprises to build secure, high-performance AI applications and agents using real-time operational data. The integration, announced at the Databricks Data + AI Summit, connects Spice AI’s agent development capabilities with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, significantly boosting developer productivity while enhancing application performance and governance.
The partnership enables seamless access to Databricks’ Unity Catalog, Databricks SQL, and Mosaic AI Gateway—providing enterprise-grade security and streamlined governance. With support for open lakehouse architecture, organizations can reduce data complexity, accelerate time-to-market, and scale AI initiatives across cloud and edge environments.
“The Databricks and Spice AI partnership bridges the gap between cloud-scale analytics and edge computing requirements, enabling organizations to build next-generation intelligent applications,” said Luke Kim, Founder & CEO of Spice AI.

Key features of the integration include high-performance SQL queries with Spice.ai acceleration, unified data querying across cloud, on-premises, and edge, native support for Mosaic AI model serving, and robust identity and security protocols including OAuth and role-based access controls.
Customers like NRC Health are already seeing results. “By unifying siloed data across systems, we accelerated AI feature development, reducing time-to-market from months to weeks—and sometimes days,” said Tim Ottersburg, VP of Technology at NRC Health.
Roger Murff, VP of Technology Partners at Databricks, added, “We are thrilled to partner with Spice AI to deliver a solution on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform that enables organizations to extract maximum value from their data and deliver true data intelligence to our joint customers.”
Together, Databricks and Spice AI are arming enterprises with the tools to create intelligent, scalable, and secure AI-driven applications that make a tangible business impact.
