Have you ever wondered how much artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we work with data in companies? Not long ago, creating a report or analyzing data from multiple sources required hours of manual effort. And today? You just ask a question… and the answer appears automatically.
It’s not magic. It’s the new Copilot in Microsoft Fabric, which acts as a data bot – your personal AI assistant for business data analysis.
Heard of ChatGPT? Now imagine a business version of it, embedded in the world of BI and Big Data, integrated with your reports, data models, and warehouses.
At EBIS, we call it AI Advisor, because it doesn’t just answer questions – it advises, analyzes, and helps you get the most out of your company’s data. So throughout this article, we’ll use these names interchangeably.
What is the AI Advisor / Data Bot in Microsoft Fabric?
Have you ever stared at raw data from Excel, a data warehouse, or your CRM and thought: “Where do I even start?” Or maybe: “Why do these numbers feel so… lifeless?”
Don’t worry – every data analyst has been there. Until recently, making sense of that data meant hours of writing queries, filtering spreadsheets, joining tables, and hoping it would eventually turn into something useful.
But that’s all changing. Microsoft has introduced an intelligent AI assistant into its ecosystem – Copilot in Microsoft Fabric. At EBIS, we call it the AI Advisor, but under the hood, it’s the same powerful data bot with some seriously impressive skills.
How does it work in practice?
You type a question in plain language – like:
“Show me sales in the northern region broken down by distribution channel” –
and a few seconds later, you get a ready-to-use chart.
No coding. No endless clicking through tables.
The AI Advisor understands your data in Microsoft Fabric and knows how to present it clearly. It helps you analyze, interpret, and visualize information faster than ever before.
Key features of the Microsoft Fabric Copilot Data Bot
Remember those days when you had to manually write SQL or DAX queries just to check sales by region or calculate the online channel’s revenue share?
Every analyst knows the drill – raw data, code, test, tweak, chart… then back to square one.
Copilot in Microsoft Fabric, or simply the data bot, flips this workflow on its head.
You no longer have to start with technical stuff – just ask your question in natural language, and the AI takes it from there.
So, what can this intelligent data assistant actually do?
1. Generate SQL and DAX queries from natural language
No need to learn syntax or memorize table names. Just type:
“What were July sales by region?”
– and the AI Advisor will generate the right query and show you the result.
2. Build charts and reports without writing any code
You know what insights you’re after – but not how to visualize them?
The data bot turns your intent into a ready-made chart, table, or even an interactive Power BI report, without the hassle of manually designing a dashboard.
3. Suggest insights based on your data
This isn’t just a command executor.
The AI Advisor offers proactive suggestions – pointing out anomalies, trends, or deviations.
It’s like having an experienced analyst by your side saying,
“Hey, that dip in the southern region looks worth investigating.”
4. Real-time collaboration
Got a team working on the same report?
The AI Advisor supports collaborative analysis – ask questions together, comment, edit, and discuss insights directly within Microsoft Fabric.
5. Context-aware answers tailored to your business data
The AI Advisor doesn’t work in a vacuum.It learns your data structure, understands table relationships, and knows your data model context.
So instead of generic answers, you get responses that fit your business case – every time
Using the AI Advisor in everyday data analysis
Imagine walking into the office in the morning, launching Microsoft Fabric, and instead of spending an hour gathering data from Excel, your ERP, and CRM… you just type one sentence:
“Show me sales in July compared to June, broken down by region and channel.”
Done. You get a chart, a table, and a clear insight. That’s exactly how the AI Advisor works — your company’s Copilot in Microsoft Fabric. It’s a tool designed to support analysts, department managers, financial specialists, and marketers in their daily work with data.
Who benefits most from using it?
- Business analysts – because they can respond to boardroom questions faster.
- Sales managers – because they instantly see what’s working and what’s not.
- Finance teams – because they can quickly analyze costs, margins, and budget deviations.
- Marketing departments – because they can check campaign performance across different channels in seconds.
Let’s take a look at a few practical examples of how the AI Advisor works in Microsoft Fabric:
- Month-to-month sales analysis – in seconds – instead of manually building comparison reports, the AI Advisor instantly generates charts and commentary that show what changed.
No need to dig through CSVs or data warehouses — one prompt is all it takes. - Understanding anomalies in your data – numbers not looking the way you expected? The data bot can detect unusual patterns and suggest potential causes — like missing data, a drop in conversions, or an unexpected spike in costs.
- Creating a management report in minutes – no more copying and pasting data into PowerPoint. Copilot generates clear, interactive reports you can send directly to your management team — no extra formatting needed.
- Integration with Power BI and Lakehouse – whether it’s data from Excel, your ERP, Google Ads, or your data warehouse — everything flows into Lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric. And Copilot — our AI Advisor — understands these sources and knows how to combine them. So you don’t waste time searching for files — all your data is at your fingertips.
What does working with AI Advisor look like day-to-day?
Ever found yourself stuck on an analysis because you didn’t have enough time, didn’t know SQL, or simply ran out of patience?
AI Advisor in Microsoft Fabric (also known as Copilot or just the data bot) is the tool that can seriously transform your day-to-day work with data.
You don’t have to be a coding expert. You don’t need to memorize DAX. Just describe your problem in plain English — and Copilot will handle the rest.
Who is the Data Bot Copilot for?
This tool isn’t just for data analysts — though they’ll benefit the most. AI Copilot is used by:
- Sales and marketing managers
- Finance specialists
- Operations managers
- Anyone who needs fast, actionable insights from data — without digging through dashboards or Excel files.
Real-life examples of AI Advisor in action:
- Quick sales comparison: Instead of building manual measures, just ask:
“What were sales like in July vs June?”
- Detecting anomalies: Ask
“Did anything unusual happen in the data last week?”
and instantly see cost spikes or revenue drops.
- Instant management reports: Need a summary for your presentation?
The data bot will ask clarifying questions, pick the right sources, and suggest a ready-to-use report.
- Unified data access: Data from Excel, SQL, CRM, and other sources is consolidated — and you get accurate answers from one place, with no file juggling.
Why should you implement Copilot in your company?
Imagine no longer spending hours digging through reports — instead, you simply ask, “What’s the profitability of our sales this quarter?” and instantly get a chart, insight, and recommendation. No clicking, no formulas. That’s exactly what the AI Advisor in Microsoft Fabric delivers.
So why can’t companies afford to wait?
1. Save time and resources
Instead of asking your analyst for “urgent data,” you just ask AI. Faster = cheaper. Especially when it comes to daily summaries, quick overviews, or ad hoc reporting.
2. Analytics for everyone, not just data geeks
AI Advisor helps non-technical employees understand what’s going on in the data. That means: less frustration, more empowerment across the team.
Don’t know DAX? No problem. Just describe what you want to find out — Copilot will do the rest.
3. Faster, smarter business decisions
In today’s fast-paced world, there’s no time for multi-day analysis. Companies that can interpret data quickly make sharper decisions and respond faster to change.
4. Competitive advantage
This isn’t just a buzzword. Organizations that use AI in their data analytics work faster, more accurately, and stay a step ahead of those still “working in Excel.” And the difference becomes clear just weeks after Copilot goes live.
