Hi (I hope this is a suitable forum),
We currently get our insights through Power BI (PBI) accessing data within SQL Server. Producing thsese reports/insights is labour intensive. With the introduction of AI, I've been tasked to find our if we are able to write questions (in Natural Language) of our data (held with SQL Server) and have the answers returned. If this is possible then it may negate the need for PBI reports to be generated to achieve the same insights.
I have no understanding of AI at present. My gut is telling me the data model will have to be specific and very descriptive, and then we'd have to rely on customers (end-users) asking their questions in a regimented way - all challenges.
I've been reading various online articles on the subject but each articles, it seems, recommends different software and I'm getting no momentum. Therefore, I am here to ask if you can advise on any training courses that would take me from a complete novice to someone who can, either, get the aim working, or is equipped to advise it wouldn't work with our setup.
We are a Microsoft (MS) house (SQL Server, Dynamics, etc...) and all in Azure. Any training material should follow using MS technologies otherwise the I.T. dept may put a blocker on it.
Your suggestions will be most welcome. Thanks.
