Work Smarter with Data

Stay up to date with the latest developments in Microsoft Power BI and explore new ways to work with data using AI-assisted tools. 

Power BI is evolving with the introduction of the enhanced report format (PBIR), making reports more open, structured, and accessible. At the same time, tools such as GitHub Copilot are enabling developers to interact with report structures using natural language, reducing the need for traditional coding skills. 

In this session, we’ll look at how AI-assisted tools can help you edit, automate, document, and manage Power BI reports more efficiently, while still working within familiar development workflows. 

Note: This session is of a technical nature and designed for Power BI developers or advanced users, rather than business users. 

What we’ll cover 

• How PBIR is shifting Power BI towards an AI-assisted development experience.
• Using AI tools like GitHub Copilot to generate and modify report elements.
• Automating common tasks such as formatting, refactoring, and updating report components. 
• Improving documentation with AI-generated explanations and summaries. 
• Troubleshooting report and visual issues using AI-assisted insights. 
• Enhancing collaboration by making reports easier to review and manage as shared artefacts. 

 Join us to learn more about how to work with PBIR and AI in practice.
