Power BI Copilot brings Microsoft 365 Copilot capabilities into the BI context. Business users ask data questions in plain English and receive charts, tables, and summaries from connected data models without SQL expertise. Report summary generation creates written narratives describing findings. DAX formula generation from plain English descriptions removes the highest technical barrier for new report builders. For organisations already on Power BI Premium, Copilot is included at no additional AI subscription cost.
Power BI Copilot runs as ai assistant software built around text and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, desktop, and ios.
