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!
