Composite AI automatically combines the most appropriate AI tech for any given task.\u00a0In the future, we plan not only to deepen our collaboration with Semantic Kernel but also to explore integrating with Microsoft Fabric as a data source for Composite AI. We believe this integration has the potential to greatly enhance our capabilities and provide even more value to our customers.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve only brushed the surface of its orchestration capabilities. Their importance will only grow as we continue to explore, innovate, and use these features more extensively.<\/p>\n<p><div  class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\"><a class=\"cta_button_link btn-primary mb-24\" href=\"https:\/\/build.microsoft.com\/en-US\/sessions\/f5e1a24c-19c5-4ac4-8d49-aeaf87cada3c?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\">Join us at Microsoft Build!<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fujitsu.com\/global\/\">Fujitsu<\/a> , the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fujitsu.com\/global\/services\/kozuchi\/\">Fujitsu AI (Kozuchi)<\/a> platform and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fujitsu.com\/global\/about\/research\/article\/202405-composite-ai.html\">Composite AI<\/a>.
