About this episode

Mike & Tommy explore RayFin, Microsoft's new AI-first product, and its implications for BI teams.

Mike & Tommy dive into RayFin, Microsoft's new AI-first product for building, deploying, and governing agents inside Microsoft Fabric, exploring whether this is a true shift in how BI teams work or just another layer of hype on day one. They break down what RayFin actually changes for semantic models, reports, and pipelines, tackle the real governance risks when AI can build and deploy at platform speed, and land on the practical first steps a Fabric team should take before turning it loose in their tenant. https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Updates-Blog/Introducing-Rayfin-A-new-AI-first-way-to-build-deploy-and-govern/ba-p/5191676 https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-build-2026-building-agentic-apps-with-microsoft-fabric-and-microsoft-databases/ Get in touch: Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page .
