Myriade vs Microsoft Fabric
Copilot requires you to build context manually.
Myriade builds it for you.
Myriade works with Fabric, not against it. It connects to Azure, Fabric, and OneLake as data sources and adds an AI intelligence layer on top, with zero vendor lock-in.
Data understanding
Skip the months of semantic modeling.
Myriade builds your context layer in days.
Fabric's AI capabilities have improved significantly. The OneLake Catalog now generates descriptions automatically, and Prep for AI lets you configure instructions and verified answers. But these features work one field at a time, one table at a time. Someone on your team still has to build the semantic model, define the relationships, add the synonyms, configure the instructions. For a warehouse with hundreds of tables, that is months of work.
Myriade does this warehouse-wide in days, by analyzing the data itself. It connects to your warehouse and reverse-engineers a context layer covering every table and column, with roughly 90% generated autonomously. The remaining 10% are genuine ambiguities that Myriade surfaces for your team to confirm, rather than guessing.
This is the difference between an AI that reads a description someone wrote for cstmr_lt and an AI that has examined the values, distributions, and relationships to know exactly what it contains.
What Copilot relies on
What Myriade analyzesScope
Copilot answers questions about one report.
Myriade traverses your entire warehouse.
Fabric Copilot in Power BI works within the scope of one report or one semantic model at a time. The standalone Copilot can search across reports but is still bounded by existing semantic models. Data Agents can be connected to semantic models, but require configuration per model. If a table isn't modeled in a semantic model, Copilot cannot see or query it.
Myriade works warehouse-wide from day one. Every table is visible. Joins are inferred automatically and mapped within the context layer. If a business user asks a question that requires combining customer data with product data with logistics data, Myriade can traverse those tables without anyone having pre-defined the path.
Fabric CopilotMyriadeContinuous learning
An AI that gets smarter every night, across every user, without you maintaining a thing.
Fabric Copilot caches responses for 24 hours on unchanged semantic models. Admins can pre-define verified answers and Prep for AI instructions per model. But there is no cross-session learning, no automatic improvement from user interactions. Myriade goes further in three ways.
Nightly memory cycle
Every conversation across your org is reviewed nightly. Corrections and clarifications become permanent knowledge for all users.
Org & user instructions
Define business rules that apply to everyone, or context specific to a team. The AI adapts without warehouse changes.
Self-improving context
The platform in month six is meaningfully more accurate than month one. Every interaction deepens the foundation.
Costs & incentives
Microsoft profits from your compute.
Myriade reduces it.
Fabric Copilot charges 400 CU-seconds per 1,000 input tokens and 1,200 CU-seconds per 1,000 output tokens. At pay-as-you-go rates, that works out to roughly $20/1M input tokens and $60/1M output tokens, compared to ~$2.50 and ~$10 for direct GPT-4o API access. That is a 7-8x markup on input tokens. Even with reserved capacity (~$0.107/CU-hour), the markup is still 4-5x. Every SQL query Copilot generates runs on your Fabric capacity, consuming additional CUs from the same pool as all your other workloads.
Myriade's AI pricing uses a fixed per-user fee with included token credits, at roughly 2 to 3x the direct API rate. And Myriade's FinOps Agent actively audits your warehouse spending, with customers consistently finding 27-40% in compute savings. Microsoft's revenue model is capacity-based: an AI layer that generates SQL is, by design, a compute consumption engine for its vendor. Myriade is structurally incentivized to reduce your infrastructure costs, not profit from them.

-27-40%Multi-source & portability
Your intelligence should survive a cloud migration.
Fabric is Azure-native. Copilot, semantic models, Data Agents, and governance configs all live inside the Azure ecosystem. The raw data format is open (Delta Lake), and OneLake can shortcut to S3 and GCS. So the data itself is technically portable. But the intelligence layer (semantic models, Prep for AI configs, verified answers, Copilot context) does not transfer. If you migrate away from Azure, you rebuild from scratch.
Myriade connects to all major warehouses simultaneously. The intelligence layer (documentation, context, business rules) lives in Myriade and follows you across any supported source. If you migrate from Fabric to Snowflake, or add BigQuery alongside your existing setup, the context layer comes with you.
