There is no doubt that Generative AI, Including tools like Microsoft Copilot, will transform the way we analyse and report on data. But by default, at least for now, it won’t automatically be able to source and understand your corporate data in the same way as ChatGPT can with the data on the internet (on which it has been trained over years with trillions of data points!). The raw data in your organisation needs to be modelled and enriched with the business-specific domain logic/context in order to be able to evaluate performance and provide meaningful insights.

In this session Rishi will:

-Highlight the current capabilities of Power BI and role-based Copilots (e.g Copilot for Finance)

-Discuss the value of metadata for data stored in lakehouses/semantic models and consider how they tie into prompts to help guide Copilot on how to answer questions on your data!

-Look at where Copilot experiences fit in across the entire analytics workflow, from understanding requirements/user stories through to data transformation, modelling/enrichment and process automation.

You will come away with this session with an idea of why applying Copilot to analytics can be challenging and how you can provide it with enough context to help with data-driven insights keeping you firmly in the drivers seat!
