Why Microsoft is unifying data and AI within Fabric
Briefly

Microsoft's updates to its data and analytics platform, Fabric, aim to unify data and intelligence for AI applications. Key enhancements include the integration of Cosmos DB, a new digital twin builder, and a Copilot experience in Power BI. Analysts view these developments as transforming Fabric into a decision infrastructure layer that not only facilitates faster decision-making but also supports the creation of precise agentic applications. Launched in May 2023, Fabric seeks to minimize IT complexity and costs for enterprises by integrating diverse data workloads.
With the addition of operational databases like Cosmos DB and SQL Server, real-time agents, and semantic governance, Fabric is no longer just a data platform, it is a decision infrastructure layer for any enterprise.
The addition of Cosmos DB to Fabric will further aid agentic application development, because it will allow enterprises to create a more foundational data layer for agents.
