Microsoft is acquiring Osmos, an agentic AI data engineering platform, to simplify data workflows and strengthen Microsoft Fabric’s AI-ready analytics stack.
Microsoft announced on Tuesday the acquisition of Osmos, an AI data engineering platform designed to simplify complex and time-consuming data workflows for enterprises.
The deal strengthens Microsoft’s push to make data preparation faster and more automated as organisations struggle to turn sprawling data estates into assets ready for analytics and artificial intelligence. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Osmos applies agentic AI to transform raw data into analytics- and AI-ready outputs within OneLake, the unified data lake that underpins Microsoft Fabric. The approach is intended to reduce the manual work that often consumes data teams, freeing them to focus on analysis rather than preparation.

Microsoft said the acquisition advances Fabric’s broader ambition to unify data and analytics in a single, secure platform. By integrating Osmos, the company aims to move closer to a model in which autonomous AI agents work alongside people, lowering operational overhead and simplifying how organisations connect, prepare, analyse and share data.
“Data is everywhere, but making it actionable remains manual, slow and expensive for many teams,” Microsoft said in a statement. “Osmos helps address this challenge by using agentic AI to accelerate the path from raw data to insight.”
As part of the transaction, the Osmos team will join Microsoft’s Fabric engineering organisation, where they will contribute to building more intuitive, AI-ready data experiences for customers.
The move underscores Microsoft’s broader strategy to help organisations extract value from data more quickly and with less complexity, particularly as AI-driven analytics become central to business decision-making.
