Introducing the fully autonomous AI data wrangler, on Microsoft Fabric

During my time at a healthcare technology startup, I saw firsthand the life-changing possibility of mining medical records to find additional uses for FDA-approved medicines. Making this a reality requires three things: gathering data from a wide range of disparate sources, cleaning that data, and world-class tools for analysis.

Organizations that collect mountains of data are keenly aware that it’s chock full of valuable insights. As their data operation grows, data ingestion bottlenecks restrict their ability to scale. They soon realize that making the most of the data they collect is easier said than done.

When I first learned about Microsoft Fabric, the value was obvious. Microsoft has not only redesigned how we work with data, but who works with data. They’ve empowered anybody in an organization to use Fabric to make data-driven decisions.

This aligns perfectly with Osmos’s mission of creating a world where anyone can work with data regardless of technical proficiency.

Osmos has partnered with Microsoft to supercharge your data journey with powerful AI that wrangles even the messiest data, hands-free.

Enter the Osmos AI Data Wrangler, a fully autonomous data wrangler, now available exclusively on Microsoft Fabric - a combination poised to change how businesses handle data transformation and data cleanup. Osmos helps your team enhance data quality without increasing data engineering resources. By autonomously cleaning and transforming your files right from within Microsoft Fabric, Osmos AI Data Wrangler enables organizations to get data in shape and drive better decisions.

Instructions include destination selection, source folder setup, automated data normalization, and review options for seamless data processing. Ideal for users seeking efficient, intelligent data management solutions with minimal intervention.

The Critical Role of Data Cleanup in Microsoft Fabric

We all know that bad data leads to bad decisions. Microsoft Fabric provides a powerful platform for data analytics and business intelligence, however the true value of these capabilities can only be realized with clean, well-structured data. Clean data is essential for extracting maximum value from Fabric. Here's why:

Pristine data powers accurate analytics

The impact of Microsoft Fabric’s Power BI is amplified by high-quality, well-structured data. Pristine data translates into clearer, more intuitive visualizations that drive insightful business discoveries.

Better AI drives better decisions

Data Science and AI on Fabric is a breeze with Synapse and can make decision-making seamless, as long as the data that feeds the AI engine is accurate and trustworthy.  

Facilitate seamless integration

Fabric enables seamless integration across various data sources and services. Clean, consistent data facilitates faster data flow between different components of your data ecosystem, enhancing overall system performance.

Efficient processing saves time and money

Fabric's data processing engines perform optimally with well-structured data. Clean data reduces processing time and resource consumption, allowing you to handle larger datasets more efficiently.

Clean data ensures you stay in compliance

In industries with strict data regulations, clean and well-documented data helps ensure compliance and simplifies auditing processes.

The Osmos AI Data Wrangler: A fundamental re-think of the data preparation process

To date, existing solutions aim to provide data teams with tools that assist in data wrangling. AI forward products sprinkle in AI in certain parts of the tool to assist with certain scenarios. But at the end of the day, the tool is to be used by the user, with AI offering support for select functions.

Osmos AI Data Wrangler offers a radically different approach to the onerous job of cleaning data. Osmos AI Data Wrangler is an Agentic AI [Agentic (adj.) works independently, makes better choices, and self-regulates] solution that autonomously works on the data to get it into the shape expected by the user. The user’s involvement is in guiding the AI with instructions and schema details, and pointing it to the files to clean. The AI Data Wrangler does the data preparation for the user, and awaits their review and further instructions!

As an industry, we are rapidly moving towards a world where AI is capable of autonomously solving complex problems, making intelligent decisions with human oversight, and transforming how we work. Osmos is at the forefront of bringing this technology to data and data transformation

The Osmos AI Data Wrangler enables organizations to efficiently meet their ever-growing data wrangling needs, without adding additional headcount.

Humans continue to be in-charge by giving the AI instructions, reviewing & approving their work, and providing additional instructions to adjust the AI’s approach.
