AI functionality using Power BI Dataset
- 6 months ago
Hi visheshjain
Your concern is valid. Copilot workloads can spike CU consumption quickly, especially on smaller SKUs like F2. While CU smoothing averages usage over 24 hours, throttling can still occur during short-term bursts if the instantaneous consumption exceeds the allocated capacity.
Your question is exactly the one many teams hit after trying native Copilot: how do you give users AI on top of a Power BI dataset without burning expensive capacity or breaking the experience when compute runs low? One pattern that worked well for us was using a custom in-report assistant instead of relying on the generic Copilot path. We built PowerMind for that, customized to the semantic model, designed for dashboard use, and much easier to roll out when you need model-aware behavior.
