Daivio brings AI-assisted data analysis into Microsoft Fabric

Daivio has launched an AI-assisted analytics workload inside Microsoft Fabric, giving analysts tools to profile and clean data, ask questions in plain language, and inspect the work behind an answer. The useful twist is that it puts those steps in the Fabric workspace rather than sending users off to another tool.

What happened

DATA AI ANALYSIS LTD says Daivio is available now through the Microsoft Fabric Workload Hub and Microsoft Marketplace. Users can work with files, tables and databases in Fabric, or upload a file, then see a dataset profile, an AI-written summary and scans for columns containing personal data.

The company says the workload includes 18 one-click data transformations with a timeline, plus plain-language questions that return an answer, SQL, a results table and a chart. Users can also use a SQL playground or Jupyter notebooks and save results back to OneLake. The announcement was carried by Yahoo Finance.

Why it matters

The appeal is a shorter path from a messy dataset to something an analyst can check and share. Keeping the SQL and notebook alongside the answer gives users a way to inspect how it was produced, rather than being handed a polished result and asked to take it on trust. Daivio also says users sign in with existing Microsoft Entra credentials and work with data in OneLake, which may suit teams already operating inside Fabric.

There is a free plan; Pro is billed per minute of active processing with no monthly fee, while Enterprise is billed through Microsoft Marketplace. That gives teams a concrete way to try the tool, though the announcement does not establish how well it performs on real workloads.

Our read

This is a practical pitch: bring the cleaning, questioning and evidence trail closer to the data. Showing the SQL is a welcome start; it makes answers more inspectable, not automatically correct. Analysts should test the outputs against known results before letting a tidy chart do all the persuading.

What to watch

• How Daivio handles varied real-world datasets and complex questions.
• Whether users find its SQL and notebook outputs useful for checking AI-generated answers.
• What the free plan includes and how per-minute Pro costs add up in practice.

Discussion spark: Would seeing the SQL and notebook behind an AI-generated answer make you comfortable using it in a business decision, or should every result still be independently checked?
