Snowflake AI

    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 ,

There’s no direct, native integration for bringing Snowflake’s AI features into Power BI like you have with Copilot in Fabric. Power BI can connect to Snowflake for data, but using Snowflake’s built-in AI/ML (like Snowpark ML or Cortex) usually means running your models in Snowflake and then either:

 

  • Bringing the output into Power BI as new tables/views for reporting, or

 

  • Calling Snowflake AI via custom connectors or APIs, and visualizing results in Power BI.

 

It’s not as seamless as Copilot, but it’s definitely possible if you surface your AI results as part of your Snowflake data model.
