Chat with Your Data in a Day

Chat with Your Data in Power BI: Model Smarter, Answer Faster

The way people interact with data is evolving—and Power BI’s new Chat with Your Data experience is leading the charge. By enabling natural language exploration, users can uncover insights faster, easier, and more intuitively than ever before. This shift presents a powerful opportunity to reshape how data is consumed across your organisation.

To help you harness this potential, Microsoft and Cloud Direct invite you to a free, one-day hands-on workshop: Chat with Your Data in a Day. Designed for Power BI Data Analysts and Developers with prior experience in Power BI, this intermediate training will guide you through preparing your models for AI-driven, conversational querying.

With Copilot in Power BI, users can ask questions in natural language and instantly receive trusted insights—no dashboards, reports, or technical expertise required. But to unlock its full potential, your models must be optimised for chat.

This workshop will enable you to:

  • Empower business users to answer questions using natural language
  • Accelerate decision-making with real-time answers
  • Find the data you need to answer questions

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to prepare and optimise Power BI models for AI tooling and conversational querying
  • Techniques to refine and validate models through testing and iteration
  • Ways to guide Copilot’s responses with contextual framing and tone alignment
  • How to leverage Fabric Data Agents for curated, context-aware insights from Fabric and external sources

You’ll also gain strategic insight into Copilot’s evolution, build practical skills to prepare your data for AI exploration, and experience the new full-screen Copilot interface firsthand.

Whether you’re refining existing models or building new ones, this workshop will help you deliver faster, smarter insights—powered by AI.

Reserve your spot today and make your models chat ready.
