Custom Copilot integration with PowerBI
1) Is it possible to use a custom Copilot created in Copilot Studio with Power BI desktop or Power BI service? I'm fully capable of utilizing the baked in Copilot in the workspace but would like to extend it to use one that has been trained directly from Copilot Studio.
2) Also, is there a way to integrate Q&A box with custom copilot

1. As of my knowledge up to 2024, there isn’t a direct way to use a custom Copilot created in Copilot Studio with Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service.
2. While there isn’t explicit documentation on integrating a Q&A box with a custom Copilot, you can build your own Copilot using Azure AI and orchestrate the whole AI app development life cycle using Prompt Flow. This could potentially be used to create a more interactive Q&A experience. However, the specifics of this integration would depend on the exact requirements and constraints of your project.
Building your own copilot – yes, but how? Prompt Flow vs Custom Solutions (microsoft.com)If you expect to see these features in future releases, you can submit an idea for here and the product team will take note of such a need.

I understand you're looking to integrate a custom Copilot from Copilot Studio directly into Power BI, which is a smart approach for tailored insights. Currently, Microsoft's built-in Copilot in Power BI doesn't support direct integration with custom Copilots from Copilot Studio, and the Q&A box is tied to the native functionality.
If you're exploring alternatives to bring custom AI into your dashboards without requiring Copilot licenses, you might find our PowerMind project interesting, it embeds a customizable AI assistant directly into Power BI reports. It's designed to work with your specific data model and can be integrated into existing dashboards.
You can see a quick demo of how it works here:

It might offer a path forward for the kind of tailored, integrated experience you're aiming for.
