Want to move beyond theory and actually embed AI and automation into your Microsoft Fabric workflows? This session shows how to turn AI’s promised productivity gains into disciplined, repeatable practices you can implement immediately in Microsoft Fabric. We will walk through how to set up an AI-ready environment on your own laptop, along with the tools, libraries, and patterns needed so you can follow along and reuse everything yourself. The session covers how to build prompt libraries, reusabl
