Microsoft Fabric AI, Copilots, Data Agents, Fabric IQ, & Extending Data Agents Beyond Fabric
Microsoft Fabric has AI Functions, Copilots, Data Agents, Fabric IQ, and the capability to extend Data Agents via Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, & Python Code.
In this session we will answer the following questions, when should you use Fabric IQ? What is the difference between a Copilot and a Data Agent? How do you extend them beyond Microsoft Fabric? When should you use Microsoft Foundry vs. Copilot Studio vs. Python Code vs. publishing directly to M365? How does advanced security like Row Level Security or Column Level Security work with Data Agents?
Join the team from Microsoft for a full day of learning and discovery. The goal of this session is to provide you with the knowledge to implement these technologies and understand the decisions behind why, when, and how you should utilize them.

7 x Microsoft AI MVP| 4 x Microsoft Business Applications MVP| Keynote Speaker| Author| Leading AI Architect | Microsoft Certified Trainer, AI Architect at AIS
Foundry Agent Service connects the core pieces of Foundry (such as models, tools, and frameworks) into a single runtime. It manages conversations, orchestrates tool calls, enforces content safety, and integrates with identity, networking, and observability systems. These activities help ensure that agents are secure, scalable, and production-ready.
In this demo-driven session, we will explore how organizations can use the Foundry Agent Service to design and deliver extensible enterprise-grade AI agents.
We will cover: Foundry Agent Service Key Concepts Extending Agents with Tools (automatic tool calling, code interpreter, and file retrieval) Best Practices How organizations can leverage Foundry Agent Service to build next-gen, enterprise-grade AI agents and workflows

Microsoft Fabric, Power BI Writeback to SQL, & Sentiment Analysis with Microsoft Foundry
Power BI writeback is technically called Translytical Task Flows. However, nobody knows what Translytical Task Flows are.... which is Power BI writeback. This functionality allows you to turn your Power BI reports into Apps.
How does this work? We use User Data Functions as the pass through mechanism to update data in a database and Direct Query or Direct Lake Semantic Models to update the reports.
In this session we will use a real-world scenario where we take customer reviews, score them for sentiment using a user data function, display them in a Power BI report and allow our Power BI users who own the products being reviewed to enter feedback for the leadership team of their company.
This will be an end-to-end demo so you can walk away with a full understanding of how to implement this for your business.

Making AI Agents Smarter with Fabric IQ, Foundry IQ, and Work IQ
Connecting Copilots and Microsoft Foundry AI agents to company data across SharePoint, databases, and documents is complex. Foundry IQ + Fabric IQ + Work IQ provide secure, unified access through one API. Learn to connect agents to multiple sources, configure permissions, use Agent Factory for deployment, and ensure agents understand business context, not just raw data.

Beyond Built-In: Integrating Azure AI Foundry Models into Copilot Studio Agents
Samir Makwana
MVP (Copilot Studio)| Founder of Cloudtrify | Cloud Solution Architect | Angel Investor
Overview Copilot Studio provides powerful tools for building conversational agents, but what if you need more control over the models behind them? This session walks through how to bring custom and enterprise-ready models from Azure AI Foundry into your Copilot Studio agents—giving you flexibility, precision, and the ability to tailor AI behavior to your exact needs.
Why This Matters Built-in models work well for general scenarios, but enterprises often require domain-specific logic, industry compliance, or advanced reasoning capabilities. Integrating Azure AI Foundry models enables teams to maintain conversational experiences in Copilot Studio while leveraging specialized models tuned for their unique requirements.
What You Will See Live Demo and Practical Guidance
Select and register models from Azure AI Foundry Connect custom models into agent prompts Orchestrate model responses within multi-turn conversations Evaluate when to use a Foundry model over a built-in option
Use Cases Highlighted
Domain-specific logic and terminology Industry compliance requirements Advanced reasoning scenarios
The session includes real-world examples showing how this integration elevates AI solutions beyond out-of-the-box capabilities.
Who Should Attend Developers, solution architects, and Power Platform implementers who want to extend Copilot Studio agents with custom or enterprise-grade models from Azure AI Foundry.
