What???!!!??? Forecasting with LLM and GenAI!
https://youtu.be/2G4WUV81ExI Today, we're tackling a topic you probably haven't seen before: how to forecast and make predictions in Microsoft Fabric using Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). While most videos focus on LLMs as assistants or copilots, I find that use case uninspiring and soon-to-be commoditized. Instead, I'm focused on logic intelligence—applying GenAI to … Continue reading What???!!!??? Forecasting with LLM and GenAI!
LLM and GenAI in Fabric, no Azure required!
In this video, we’re taking our RAG architecture to intergalactic levels! Building on our previous video (https://youtu.be/oCHinlZRsLU), we’re removing dependencies on PaaS components like Document Intelligence and Azure AI Search. Instead, we’re leveraging LangChain to process PDF documents and using the open-source vector database, Chroma DB, as our vector store. https://youtu.be/jwVOQCUUH1Y this is the relevant … Continue reading LLM and GenAI in Fabric, no Azure required!

Are we at the tipping point?
Are you STILL one of the people who have not yet realized that the world of BI is about to get turned upside down with GenAI and LLMs? Well, you can keep basking in your ignorance, but for the rest of us, we need to figure out how to stay ahead of where this is going and how to not be left behind. With my latest video/tutorial, we're stepping into the future with LangChain LLM Agents, and how they're revolutionizing the way we interact with Power BI semantic models within Microsoft Fabric. Forget the traditional ways of data processing and get ready for a mind-blowing journey into AI-driven analytics. You can query your Power BI datasets/semantic models and potentially replace lines of code with just a few simple prompts. hashtag#azure hashtag#OpenAI hashtag#LangChain hashtag#PowerBI hashtag#MicrosoftFabric hashtag#AI hashtag#BusinessIntelligence hashtag#Innovation hashtag#BI hashtag#datascience hashtag#obvience hashtag#getsmartertogether
