Displaying summary generated from table visualization

I am trying to implement the following feature on my Power BI dashboard, and was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to do so.
I would like to generate a summary or insight from a table visualization in Power BI. The idea is that the user will first click on the relevant data from a table. The selected data will then be sent to a "black box" for analysis, and the resulting summary, in natural English language,  will be generated on a separate sheet. I would then like to display the summary in a text box on the dashboard.
Thanks in advance

Hello @powerbinovice12 , from your description is sounds as if you are speaking of

Smart Narrative, a feature of Power BI.

 

The smart narrative visualization helps you provide a quick text summary of visuals and reports. It provides relevant innovative insights that you can customize.

Use smart narrative summaries in your reports to address key takeaways, to point out trends, and to edit the language and format for a specific audience. When you add a live Power BI report page to PowerPoint, instead of pasting a screenshot of your report's key takeaways, you can add narratives that update with every refresh. Your audience can use the summaries to understand the data, get to key points faster, and explain the data to others.
