Building the Backbone of Agentic AI: A Unified Data Strategy with Microsoft Fabric
Regular 50 minute session for SQLBits 2026Wednesday - 22 Apr 2026 - 16:40 - 17:30 Room 1BTL; DR
As we move from simple chatbots to autonomous Agentic Applications, the data requirements have shifted from static retrieval to dynamic interaction. Agents now need to read, write, and reason over data in real-time, blurring the lines between transactional (OLTP), real-time, and analytical (OLAP) workloads. In this session, we will demonstrate with a real application how Microsoft Fabric serves as the comprehensive "nervous system" for next-generation AI agents.
