A Data Agent Should Be a Sub-Agent

Here’s how most data agents get built. Someone connects one to a semantic model, opens the big chat pane in the middle of the screen, and types “how are sales?” A number comes back. Everyone nods. Nobody opens it again. That’s what most people think a data agent is for: another chat interface. One more box to type into, sitting next to Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and whatever your company bought last quarter. I think a data agent should be a sub-agent. It’s a narrow specialist with one job written into its instructions, and a bigger agent calls it when a question needs it. People talk to Copilot, inside the tools they already work in. Copilot calls the data agent. Once you look at it that way, two things change. You stop building one data agent per semantic model, and you start writing instructions per purpose.

Analyzing Microsoft Fabric Data using an Azure AI Foundry Agent

In this Microsoft Reactor session, Ziggy demonstrates how to analyze Microsoft Fabric data using a Microsoft Foundry Agent and surface insights through a conversational AI experience. This is the third and final part of a series where we transform unstructured data—such as product reviews and customer call recordings—into actionable insights using Microsoft Fabric, Foundry Agent Service, and Power BI. You’ll learn how to: Create a Fabric Data Agent to query lakehouse data in plain English Connect Microsoft Foundry Agents to Fabric for secure enterprise data access Deploy your AI-powered agent to Microsoft Teams for internal collaboration Use sample queries and SQL generation for real-time insights Understand the architecture behind Fabric lakehouse, pipelines, and notebooks
