Copilot in Power BI reports

[RaavanaN_71]

We currently have Power BI Pro licenses for our users, and we are planning to migrate our reports into a Fabric F16 capacity (SKU).

Our end users would like to leverage Copilot features inside Power BI reports.

If we reassign the existing workspaces to Fabric capacity (F16) and grant workspace member access to users with only Power BI Pro licenses, will those users be able to use the Copilot features in reports?

Additionally, is there any challenges will be there when migrating reports from power bi pro licesnse to Fabric capacity.

I have refered the below link

Microsoft Documentation – Copilot in Power BI

In the documentation:

• Paragraph 1 mentions that Copilot features can be used in reports published in an F2 SKU or higher workspace with a Power BI Pro license.

• Paragraph 3, however, states that to use Copilot features in reports, an F64 or higher SKU is required, which is little bit confusing.

Thanks!!!

Based on the Microsoft documentation, users with Power BI Pro licenses can indeed use Copilot features in reports published to an F2 or higher capacity workspace, so your planned setup with an F16 SKU should work. The main challenge during migration is often ensuring all data sources and refresh schedules are correctly reconfigured for the new capacity.

If you're looking for an alternative that embeds directly into your dashboards without requiring Copilot licenses, you might find our custom AI assistant interesting. It's built specifically for Power BI and can be a practical option. You can see a quick demo of how it works here:

I know that part of the documentation is confusing, hope Microsoft will make it clearer.

Anyway, consider F64 capacity as a minimum to be able to use full features of Copilot in PBI.

Apart from this, no challenges are there to migrate to Fabric capacity.

Copilot and AI Capabilities will be accessible to all paid SKUs in Microsoft Fabric  | Microsoft Fab...

in the above link, It is mentioned copilot feature can be enbled from F2 SKU.

my doubt is, if I share reports that are hosted in a Fabric workspace with capacity below F64 SKU (for example, F16) and the users have a Power BI Pro license with member access to that workspave, will they still be able to use Copilot features such as Report Page Summaries and Ask questions about your data?

"Based on the Microsoft documentation you referenced, users with Power BI Pro licenses can indeed use Copilot features in reports published to a workspace on an F2 or higher capacity, like your planned F16. The key requirement is that the workspace is assigned to that Fabric capacity.

Regarding migration challenges, the main consideration is ensuring all your datasets are compatible and that you manage the workspace reassignment carefully to avoid disruption. A phased approach is often best.

If the licensing cost for Copilot is a concern, you might find our project PowerMind interesting. It's a custom AI assistant that embeds directly into Power BI dashboards, providing similar natural language Q&A without requiring a Copilot license. We built it for scenarios exactly like this.

The answer is no, the Pro license does not help
