How can Microsoft Fabric turn scattered expertise into shared organizational intelligence? The conversation explores OneLake Catalog governance, semantic models, governed skills, and AI agents that carry context across teams. It also covers DAX benchmarking, ontology, security automation, agentic knowledge silos, and why strong processes and shared standards may matter more than clean code.

Episode notes
DAX Model Choice Requires More Than Accuracy
- Model choice depends on task complexity, thinking effort, syntax reliability, and cost rather than leaderboard accuracy alone.
- The benchmark found Opus strongest on complex tasks while Grok achieved perfect syntax correctness.
Use OneLake Catalog For Governance Control
- Use the OneLake catalog as a central place to monitor governance health, recommendations, security, labels, domains, tags, and certification.
- Build custom reports from its curated semantic models when the default dashboard is insufficient.
Fabric Skills Turn Governance Into Expertise
- Governed Fabric skills encode expertise, guardrails, and procedures rather than merely granting agents API access.
- Microsoft’s agent-agnostic direction lets teams use compatible coding agents instead of relying exclusively on Fabric Copilot.
