AI Services in Power Query
Hi zar1
From what I can glean, unfortunately this feature is being retired:
I assume that's why the AI Insights section has been removed from the interface.
I also see that the AI Insights documentation page no longer exists (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-ai-insights) but you can view an archived version here.
I tried installing an older version of Power BI Desktop (January 2025) and the AI Insights options are present, but no functions are available in the dialog box after selecting one of the options (Text Analytics example below).
Out of interest, are you able to refresh existing models using any of these functions or copy and reuse Power Query code from an existing query? From the blog post, it sounds like this might work for another month.
Power BI Desktop 2.139.2054.0 64-bit (January 2025)

Queries with AI Insights will stop refreshing on September, 15, 2025. If you want to keep the AI Insights logic inside Power Query, read my blog post here, to learn your options and how to solve it.
The article demonstrates how to implement sentiment analysis using the new Azure AI Language service, and includes a reusable M function and example solution PBIX file for further learning.
