Fabric Data Agents and beyond
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
In this session we'll uncover Microsoft Fabric Data Agents. We'll touch upon topics like the data modelling for AI, data agents, data agent SDK, MCP, and touch upon how to bring your agents to life with a mix of API and vibe coding.
Session Details
In the era of AI, the ability to quickly and easily draw insights and answers from our data, is as important than ever, and being able to ask those questions in plain human language.
In this session we'll uncover the possibilities of combining Microsoft Fabric Data Agents with external AI tools to enable scenarios to utilize your data through agents. We'll touch upon topics like the data modelling for AI, data agents, data agent SDK, MCP, and touch upon how to bring your agents to life with a mix of API and vibe coding.
Topics:
- Data Modelling for AI
- Data Agents
- Introduction to advanced agentic capabilities
After attending this session, you’ll be able to leverage your data with AI agents inside and outside of Fabric. Ready to develop solutions or advice clients and colleagues on how to use AI with Power BI and Fabric.

A deep dive into Direct Lake
The new Direct Lake storage mode in Power BI promises to revolutionize data handling by blending the real-time nature of DirectQuery and the high performance of Import mode. Is this all just hype, or does Direct Lake truly deliver on these claims?
Advanced Power BI refresh with ADF/Synapse
After this session, you will be able to conceptualize and implement different Power BI refresh scheduling patterns in ADF/Synapse. You’ll learn what limitations in Power BI you can overcome with an “external” orchestration tool as well as the different building blocks available. Finally, we will go through an example implementation as well as a step-by-step demo of how you can set this up yourself.
Supercharge Power BI with Azure Synapse Analytics
In this session we will cover how to architect an end-to-end enterpise analytics platform so that we utilize the best of both worlds. The extremely versatile ETL capabilities of Synapse and the powerful data modelling in Power BI.
