Warp Speed with Copilot AI for PowerBI: Navigating Insights in Business Intelligence

In this session, we’ll boldly go where few dashboard consumers have gone before: using Microsoft Copilot directly within PowerBI reports. Much like Spock at Captain Kirk’s side, Copilot brings logic and clarity to the bridge—empowering users to ask natural language questions about dashboards and receive instant insights, no advanced technical knowledge required. We’ll demonstrate practical use cases, highlight benefits for both report consumers and IT professionals, and discuss the supporting infrastructure and licensing considerations needed to make Copilot successful in an enterprise environment. We’ll also emphasize that, while powerful, Copilot requires users to exercise caution and follow strict best practices in prompt engineering to ensure accuracy, avoid misinterpretation, and maintain data governance. This session is designed for IT pros and dashboard stakeholders who want to enhance data accessibility while understanding the technical “warp core” that makes this next-generation experience possible.
