Power BI to AI: Agentic & Conversational Analytics with Fabric IQ
Your semantic model is solid and your DAX is tuned, but your users would rather ask a question than dig through a report. This hands-on workshop takes a real Power BI semantic model through the full journey to conversational analytics: preparing data for AI, using Copilot for DAX, adding the descriptions, instructions, and verified answers that make responses accurate, testing with Chat with your data, and building a Fabric Data Agent. Along the way you'll see how Ontology in Fabric IQ defines the semantic backbone that keeps AI answers consistent and governed, and how agents extend into Teams, M365 Copilot, and Excel. You'll leave with a working Data Agent and a repeatable process for making any semantic model conversational.
