Copilot agents integration with power bi

Hi All,

Just got our copilot license for our team. The team has been asked to explore on creating custom copilot agents that will help answering questions about a power bi dashboard. Can an agent access a dashboard and answer questions by reading power bi visuals. I’m not sure if this possible or not. Also if somebody has done anything useful with copilot agents for power bi, kindly mention the things that you tried and your experience

    That's an interesting challenge to tackle with Copilot licenses. From what I've seen, having an agent directly ""read"" Power BI visuals in a dashboard is tricky, it usually requires accessing the underlying data model or APIs rather than interpreting the visuals as images. Some teams have built agents that connect to the dataset via XMLA endpoints or use the Power BI REST API to fetch data and metrics, which can then be used to answer questions.

    If you're exploring custom assistants for Power BI, you might find it helpful to see how others have approached embedding AI directly into dashboards. I recently shared a demo of a custom AI assistant called PowerMind that works inside Power BI without needing Copilot licenses, it might give you some ideas for your project.

    Good luck with your exploration, I’d be curious to hear what you end up building!
