Microsoft Integrates Fabric IQ into Copilot and Launches Previews
Microsoft is making Fabric IQ generally available in Copilot and introducing new previews for database management and agentic data engineering.
What happened?
Microsoft has launched Fabric IQ as a generally available feature in Microsoft Copilot Chat and Cowork. The tool grounds Copilot's responses directly in an organisation's existing Power BI semantic models, metrics, and business definitions. At the same time, the company opened previews for cross-organisation context sharing, agentic data engineering, and management via the Database Hub.

Why it matters
By linking Copilot directly to structured data models and defined metrics, the risk of inaccurate AI responses and hallucinations in business reporting is reduced. The features are enabled by default and respect the organisation's existing permission controls and data security policies.
Who is affected?
The update affects data engineers, data analysts, IT administrators, and decision-makers who use Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, or Azure Databases in their daily work. Regular Copilot users within these organisations will also receive more accurate and context-aware responses based on their firm's own data models.
Impact on the EU
All announced features and previews have been rolled out globally, including for customers and organisations within the EU. Existing data protection and permission controls remain in place when using Copilot.
What else you should know
The launch took place during the European Microsoft Fabric + SQL Community Conference in Barcelona on 28 September 2024. All new features are available to Microsoft Fabric and Power BI customers directly through their existing subscription and permission settings.
