- Copilot and other generative AI features are new tools available for testing in Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.
- These tools offer different ways to change and study data, make discoveries, and make graphs and reports.
- They’re designed to help users work with data more efficiently and get better insights.
How to Enable Copilot?
- Your administrator must enable Copilot for your business.
- Your capacity (F64 or P1) must be in certain regions.
- If you’re outside the US or France, Copilot is off by default unless your admin changes settings.
- Copilot isn’t available on trial SKUs, only paid ones.
- The preview rollout is happening gradually, and you’ll get access automatically when it’s available for your tenant.
- When Copilot is fully launched, you can use it within your existing capacity limits.
Copilot for Data Science and Data Engineering
- AI Toolset for Data Pros: Copilot is a smart tool designed to help data professionals with their work.
- Intelligent Assistance: It helps by suggesting code, automating common tasks, and providing standard code templates.
- Adaptive Suggestions: Using smart algorithms, Copilot gives suggestions tailored to what you’re working on, making coding easier.
- From Data to Insights: It supports tasks from preparing data to creating insights, making the whole process faster and easier.
Copilot for Data Factory
- Copilot for Data Factory is a tool that helps both beginners and experts with their data tasks.
- It automatically creates code to change data and explains how it works to make it easier to understand.
- It makes working with data simpler and faster.
Copilot for Power BI
- Power BI now has generative AI, which means it can create reports for you automatically.
- You can choose a topic for your report, or ask Copilot for Power BI to help you with a specific topic.
- Copilot can then create a summary for your report page and suggest synonyms to help with better Q&A (question and answer) capabilities.
How Copilot work in Fabric?
- Microsoft follows strict rules for its AI systems to make sure they’re used responsibly and effectively.
- When you use Copilot in Fabric, it temporarily sends your data to Azure OAI for processing, but it’s only stored for 30 days.
- Copilot is designed to meet high standards for responsible AI, with checks to prevent potential problems.
- Before you can use Copilot, your admin needs to enable it in Fabric.
- Remember, Copilot’s responses might not always be accurate, so it’s important to check them.
- Also, Copilot works best with English for now, so it might not be as good with other languages.
