Most enterprise GenAI demos start in the wrong place.

They start with a chat window.

The more useful place is usually earlier: inside the data workflow, before the dashboard, before the semantic model, before the analyst has to clean the same messy text for the tenth time.

That is why Fabric AI Functions are worth paying attention to.
