Talk to Your Data – Unlocking the Power of Microsoft Foundry and Fabric Data Agents

Imagine asking your enterprise data questions in plain English – and receiving not just numbers or visuals, but full narrative reports and professional-level analyses. Sounds futuristic? With Microsoft Foundry Agents and Microsoft Fabric Data Agents, it’s already happening.

In this session, we’ll explore how conversational data access becomes reality using the new Fabric-integrated Agents in Microsoft Foundry. You’ll learn how to ground these agents on Lakehouse data with just a few clicks and how to leverage them for complex business scenarios – like automating the creation of audit reports in financial services or streamlining internal reporting processes across departments.

We’ll walk through the current state of analytics – from SQL and Power BI to natural language queries – and then dive into how Data Agents technically work, what prerequisites are required (including F2 capacity), and how to embed them into existing Microsoft Fabric environments.

Expect a deep but practical dive into the real-world potential of these tools, including architectural insights, hands-on demos, and implementation patterns for automating high-value business processes with LLMs – without writing a single line of code.

By the end, you’ll have a clear vision of how to bring AI-powered, language-driven analytics into your data strategy today.

This session is designed for data engineers, BI developers, analytics architects, and technical decision makers who are interested in AI-powered analytics with Microsoft Fabric. The content is aimed at an intermediate level and combines architectural insights with a practical demonstration of Microsoft Foundry Agents and Fabric Data Agents. No prior experience with Data Agents or Microsoft Foundry is required, although basic familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or modern data platforms can be helpful. The session works well as a 45–60 minute conference talk and includes a short demonstration showing how agents can be used to automate analytical and reporting workflows. The talk has previously been presented at the European Microsoft Fabric Community Conference (FabCon) Vienna 2025 and Fabric February Oslo 2026.
