Your Weekly Free Training Update

Stay ahead in data and AI, and grow your career along the way.

This week, learn how to teach Copilot Cowork your standards with Custom Skills, explore a better way to build dashboards without exporting to Excel, and save your spot for our next free live event on using AI to explore Lakehouse data.

Building Custom Skills in Copilot Cowork!

Copilot Cowork is powerful out of the box, but it doesn’t know your business. Your standards, your templates, your tone, your deliverable structure.

In this video, Devin Knight shows how to fix that by building Custom Skills in Copilot Cowork. A skill is a simple markdown file named skill.md stored in a specific OneDrive folder. When Cowork detects a task that matches the skill description, it automatically loads your rules and applies them to everything it does in that task.

If you’re still exporting query results to Excel just to make charts, there’s a better way. Databricks AI BI Dashboards let you go from SQL to a fully interactive, shareable dashboard without leaving Databricks.

In this beginner-friendly walkthrough, Zane Goodman explains what AI BI Dashboards are, how they’re structured, and why they’re a major upgrade over legacy notebook visuals and old dashboard experiences.
