This was my first time at Cloud Tech Tallinn (or CTTT as it’s called, why is there an extra “T”?).
CTTT is a cloud conference, not specifically focused on data & AI, but data & AI is one of their cloud topics.
I was invited to speak about Fabric Data Agents, with which users can chat with their data, just like they can with an LLM like ChatGPT or Claude.
Data Agents are one of the next best things in data analytics, in my opinion, so I am happy to share demos about this.
The session had a good turnout, with over 35 participants. It scored a very handsome 4.8 out of 5 so I’m super happy.
Session abstract:
I have spent the better part of my career designing, refining, and maintaining dashboards in Power BI to help my clients answer business questions. Until now.
In this session, we will break free from predefined visuals and fixed dashboards. It is time to talk to your data!
Over the past years, everybody has been exposed to AI LLMs such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
What if I told you that you could chat with your data, just like you can chat with your AI?
With Fabric Data Agents, you can! You get a chat interface that understands the context of your data. You can ask questions in natural language (no need to learn SQL or DAX!) and get answers, fast.
In this session we will start by explaining some of the basics behind the Fabric Data Agents.
Then we’ll jump into the prerequisites in order to start using the Data Agents.
After all the boring stuff is done I will take you into a live demo of setting up the Agent, tuning it to get accurate responses, and will show how we can chat with our own data to generate insights and drive decision making.
You’ll walk away from this session understanding the following:
– Why this shift from dashboards to chatting matters for you and your organisation
– How Fabric Data Agents actually work “under the hood”
– How to build, configure, and use your first Fabric Data Agent
If you are involved in building modern data platforms, please consider Data Agents as an amazing tool to help users find insights faster!
