Chat with your data in Power BI: Model smarter, get answers faster

The way people interact with data continues to evolve, and Power BI’s new Chat with your data experience is leading the way. By enabling natural language conversations, it helps users uncover insights faster, more easily and more intuitively than ever before. This shift offers a valuable opportunity to rethink how data is used across your organisation.

To help you make the most of this potential, Microsoft and HICO-Group invite you to a free, one-day, hands-on workshop: Chat with Your Data in a Day. This advanced training is designed for Power BI data analysts and developers with prior Power BI experience. It will guide you through preparing your models for AI-powered, conversational queries.

With Copilot in Power BI, users can ask questions in natural language and receive instant, trusted insights without needing dashboards, reports or technical expertise. To unlock its full potential, however, your models need to be optimised for chat.

This workshop will show you how to

• Help business users get answers to questions asked in natural language
• Enable faster decision-making with real-time answers
• Find the data needed to answer those questions

What you will learn

• How to prepare and optimise Power BI models for AI tools and conversational queries
• Techniques for refining and validating models through testing and iteration
• Ways to guide Copilot’s responses through contextual phrasing and tone adjustments
• How to use Fabric data agents to deliver curated, context-aware insights from Fabric and external sources

You will also gain strategic insights into Copilot’s evolution, develop practical skills to prepare your data for AI-powered exploration and experience Copilot’s new full-screen interface first-hand.

Whether you are optimising existing models or building new ones, this workshop will help you deliver faster, smarter insights powered by AI.
