    Hi Steve_M ,

    If your need is to ask questions on your data to AI, then currently the option is to make use of the Copilot which is available with both Fabric and Power BI.

    Direct integrations with Snowflake AI is not yet possible, Please make use of the workaround provided earlier if the use of Snowflake AI is critical.

    For more information: Overview of Copilot for Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
    Make sure to enable Copilot in admin settings

     

     

    I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
    Thank you

Hi Steve_M ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Currently there is no direct feature available to integrate Snowflake AI into Power BI.
Instead, the typical workaround involves Snowflake performing the AI tasks using SQL queries and storing the results in tables or views within the Snowflake environment. Power BI then connects to these results using the standard Snowflake connector, either through Import or DirectQuery mode, to visualize or report on them. There is no built-in mechanism within Power BI to call or execute Snowflake’s AI functions live within visual expressions such as DAX; all integration occurs at the data layer, with Power BI simply consuming the pre-processed output.

 

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
Thank you
