Microsoft Fabric and AI Hackathon: Build an End-to-End Analytics Workspace

Throughout the day, you’ll work through a set of structured challenges that mirror real-world customer scenarios:

1. Ingest data from Azure SQL Database into Fabric using native ingestion and shortcuts
2. Bring in data from Azure Cosmos DB and unify it with relational data in OneLake
3. Design a semantic model that supports business-friendly analytics and AI-powered querying
4. Build a Power BI report directly on top of your Fabric model without data duplication
5. Create a Fabric data agent that can answer questions using your governed business data
6. Explore governance and data discovery capabilities to understand how trusted data becomes AI-ready across the organization

This hackathon showcases how Fabric Intelligence, data agents, and Copilot accelerate every stage of the analytics lifecycle. You will explore how Fabric transforms raw data into governed, AI-ready business assets that enable analysts, engineers, and business users to quickly move from data to decisions.

• Use Copilot to explore data, generate queries, and understand schemas
• Get AI-assisted guidance for designing semantic models, relationships, and measures
• Utilize Copilot to jump-start report creation, visual design, and insight generation
• Build and test a data agent that can answer natural language questions grounded in your Fabric data
• Learn how Fabric Intelligence uses business context, metadata, and semantic models to improve the quality and trustworthiness of AI-generated answers
• See how governance, lineage, and discoverability help ensure AI experiences are built on trusted organizational data
• Understand where AI accelerates development — and where human judgment and architecture decisions remain essential
