Here’s what you need to know:
Agent Skills for Power BI
Agent Skills for Power BI (Preview) introduces end-to-end agentic analytics. Simply describe what you need—even from a screenshot—and AI can build semantic models, generate reports, and refine visualisations through a single workflow.
Build Enterprise Apps on Semantic Models
Fabric Apps enables developers and AI coding agents to create enterprise-grade web applications directly from semantic models. Organisations can rapidly build tailored business applications while maintaining trusted governance and business logic.
Curated Analytics with Org Apps
The new Org Apps experience makes it easier to deliver customised analytics at scale. Teams can create multiple branded app experiences per workspace and use audience controls to ensure the right users see the right content.
User-Defined Functions for DAX
User-Defined Functions bring reusable, parameterised logic to Power BI's semantic layer. This reduces duplication, simplifies maintenance, and creates a stronger foundation for both human users and AI-driven experiences.
