If I’m a startup founder with limited budget, why should I build this on Azure SQL?
AI quality gains come from better data access, not prompt or model optimization.
“when AI has access to the right data, it spends more time reasoning and coming up with the right outcomes and higher quality outcomes”
A Microsoft Build session argues developers over-invest in prompt and model tuning while under-investing in data access quality. The session claims that grounding AI in the right data yields better reasoning and outputs. The insight is broadly applicable but framed as a pitch for Azure SQL as an AI data layer for startups.
