+# README: Cost Reporting Genie
+## Overview
+Gain visibility into your Databricks costs based on the **system.billing** tables. This Genie space focuses on **historical cost observability** - find out *what you spent, when, and on what*
+## Data Sources
+- system.billing.usage
+- system.biling.list_prices
+- system.billing.account_prices
+- system.access.workspaces_latest
+### **Current Capabilities and Limitations**
+- ✅ Can answer historical cost and trend questions (by workspace, job, SKU, etc.)
+- 📈 Can perform high-level cost forecasting using the `AI_FORECAST` function
+- ⚠️ Cannot perform granular cost attribution on shared compute (e.g., warehouses, all-purpose clusters)
+- 💰 Costs will reflect your usage at **list prices**, unless your account has `system.billing.account_prices` enabled (currently in **Private Preview** for AWS & GCP)
+- 🚫 Cannot yet provide specific optimization recommendations to reduce cost
+-  🎓 If your workspace has **Genie Research Agent** enabled, use *Research Agent mode* for deeper insights on exploratory questions.
+
+## Installation Instructions
+
+* Users can then easily import it into their workspace of choice using Genie Import/Export APIs (PrPr)
+* Please reach out to your account team for export API instructions
+* Note on prerequisites: User should have system table access to run the Genie space
