Fabric Data Agents Series (1/4): From Queries to AI Reasoning in Microsoft Fabric

This session kicks off our 4-part series on Microsoft Fabric Data Agents, exploring a major shift in how we interact with data — from writing queries to AI-driven reasoning under governance. In Part 1, we break down what Fabric Data Agents are (and are not), how they fit into the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem, and how the agent reasoning loop plans and executes grounded, trustworthy answers across governed data. You’ll learn why this shift matters, how it impacts Power BI developers and data teams, and what it takes to move from prompt-level experimentation to system-level AI thinking. 🚀 This is your starting point to understanding how semantic models, architecture, and governance come together to enable reliable, explainable, and scalable AI-powered analytics. 👉 Stay tuned for Parts 2–4, where we dive deeper into design patterns, architecture, and operating Data Agents at scale. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives on Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and AI in data. #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #FabricDataAgents #AIinAnalytics #DataPlatform
