Every Monday I'm at the Rabobank in #Utrecht training a team of data and #AI engineers.
The topic for this week is #PowerBI. The students will finalize their data analysis architecture by building CO2 emission dashboards in PowerBI and linking them to their #Lakehouse.

In the panel on the right you can see the agent working autonomously, converting quiz questions into markdown, doing online research and finding good references for each topic.

It felt like giving a training in a museum 😊

- a system to accurately calculate how much CO2 the Rabobank private datacenter is producing
- a cool #DevOps pipeline to deploy Synapse Analytics into the Rabobank cloud environment
