Microsoft is expanding how organisations can use their trusted semantic model data by bringing together the strengths of Power BI reports and Fabric Apps. The update gives analysts and developers more ways to create everything from governed business intelligence reports to custom application experiences—all while building on the same secure data foundation.

Here's what you need to know:

Build on a trusted semantic foundation
Power BI Semantic Models bring together data from hundreds of sources while keeping your business logic, calculations, and metrics consistent. This trusted foundation makes it easier to build scalable, reliable reporting solutions for every team.
Create reports with greater ease
Power BI's reporting experience lets you focus on building compelling visualisations while Power BI handles the underlying query complexity. Easily share reports across Microsoft 365, the web, or your own applications with confidence.
Accelerate report development with AI
The new Power BI Desktop bridge enables secure AI-assisted edits directly within Power BI Desktop, making report and model authoring faster than ever. Combined with MCP and agentic experiences, you can co-create reports using natural language prompts.
Build AI-powered apps with Rayfin
Rayfin introduces a new AI-first way to create managed web applications on top of your Power BI semantic models in minutes. Extend your data beyond dashboards while maintaining the same governance, security, and business logic across Fabric.
Customise your analytics your way
From drag-and-drop report design to AI-generated interfaces powered by CSS and TypeScript, Power BI gives you greater flexibility than ever before. Reuse the same semantic models with Direct Lake or imported data to deliver consistent insights across every experience.
