AI is only as useful as the context it can reason over. With Fabric IQ now generally available in Copilot, you can ask questions of your enterprise data and get answers grounded in trusted business context, right where you work.

Today, I’m in Barcelona with our #FabCon and #SQLCon communities, sharing what’s next across Microsoft Fabric and our database portfolio.   AI needs more than capable models. It needs your business data, your knowledge, and the context that makes your organization unique.   Here are a few of today’s announcements:   ✅ Fabric IQ in Microsoft Copilot Chat and Cowork, generally available today, brings trusted business context into your Copilot experience.   ✅ Apps in Power BI, entering preview in the coming weeks, will let people use natural language to build operational applications from trusted semantic models, powered by Fabric Apps.   ✅ Database Hub in Fabric, now in preview, brings monitoring, governance, and management of your database estate into one experience.   ✅ SQL Server on Azure Local, now generally available, gives customers more flexibility to run workloads close to their operations while maintaining control over where their data resides.   Less time connecting the pieces. More time putting your data and business knowledge to work.   Read more in my blog linked below 👇   #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI
