Episode Details

Microsoft is folding AI into nearly every part of Fabric, and the Fabric Data Agent is now generally available after a long run in preview. Brick and Landon talk through what they've found in testing: where natural language querying holds up, what it takes to get consistent answers, and why we've been adding a platinum stage to the medallion architecture with context files that tell the model how the business actually works.

Landon also covers Microsoft's open-source Fabric skills, the PBIP and PBIR report format that finally puts Power BI into source control, and the validation loop where the AI generates a report, screenshots it, catches its own broken visuals, and corrects them. Both come back to the same conclusion: the results depend on a strong data foundation and someone who knows their way around Power BI.

The Dashboard Effect is hosted by Blue Margin. We build the data foundation that mid-market and PE-backed companies run their reporting and AI on.
