Power BI Live: From Prompt to Report in Real Time

This is a fully hands-on, live-demo session, not a slides-only talk. I'll open Power BI Desktop and, in real time, show three of the newest capabilities reshaping how reports get built and maintained: Copilot in web modeling, which fixes relationships and generates DAX measures from plain-English prompts; the new Power BI Desktop Bridge, which lets external tools and AI agents read, edit, and verify a live report; and in-visual calculations, which let you build running totals or moving averages directly on a chart without touching the underlying model. Rather than talk about AI in BI abstractly, I'll break a report, fix it live with natural language, and show the audience exactly what to expect (and what still needs a human) when they try this themselves on Monday morning. Key Takeaways: 1. AI in Power BI is no longer a chatbot bolted on the side — it's now editing your model and your report directly, live, on request. 2. Agents can now act inside your tools, not just answer questions about them — the Desktop Bridge turns Power BI into something AI can operate, not just query. 3. The busywork is disappearing faster than the skill requirement — fixing relationships and writing basic DAX is getting automated; framing the right question and validating the output is where the real work moves.
