The Connect AI Gateway Live at FabCon Europe

CData introduced its Connect AI Gateway at FabCon Europe as a platform intended to help organizations build context-aware AI agents that can use Power BI semantic models, external enterprise systems, documents, and internal expertise consistently. Built on CData’s connector network, the gateway combines centralized LLM and Model Context Protocol routing, a Context Engine for integrating system metadata, business definitions, semantic models, and company knowledge, security controls tied to each user’s source permissions, and a virtual data layer for live cross-system read and write access. In a demonstration, CData showed how a Power BI-based account health model could be imported or generated from live connections, governed through a restricted MCP toolkit, and used by a Copilot Studio agent to retrieve health scores, investigate support and usage signals, and create Salesforce follow-up tasks. The platform records requests for auditing and is designed to avoid broadly exposing source systems or replicating data, while CData reports that its context approach reduced tool calls and token usage in internal benchmark conditions.
