Microsoft announced it has acquired Osmos, an agentic AI data engineering platform designed to simplify complex data preparation workflows and help organizations turn raw data into analytics- and AI-ready assets within OneLake, the unified data lake at the core of Microsoft Fabric.
In a post on the company’s official blog, Microsoft said the deal supports Fabric’s broader goal of unifying data and analytics into a single, secure platform, while moving toward a model in which autonomous AI agents work alongside people to reduce operational overhead. Microsoft said many organizations still spend the bulk of their time preparing and connecting data rather than analyzing it, and positioned Osmos as a way to automate and accelerate that process across the enterprise.
Microsoft said the Osmos team will join its Fabric engineering organization and work on delivering simpler, more intuitive, AI-ready data experiences as the technology is integrated into Fabric. Financial terms were not disclosed.

“Organizations today face a common challenge: data is everywhere, but making it actionable is often manual, slow and expensive. With the acquisition of Osmos, we are taking the next step toward a future where autonomous AI agents work alongside people.”
