Your model has hundreds of „helper“ fields? This will confuse Copilot 😅

With Simplify the data schema, you choose which fields Copilot can use and which it should skip.

When someone asks Copilot about revenue, does it pick the right number every time?

With verified answers, you link a question to a visual you've checked, so Copilot gives that answer every time ⬇️

574 - You add descriptions and instructions to one semantic model to make it AI ready. Now where does that work go? Nothing today carries it up to the other five models with the same customers table.

574 - A semantic model today is two things wearing one name: the semantics and the data, welded together. Pull them apart and you need somewhere to put each one. Neither place really exists yet.

572 - The ontology agent lists three jobs: discover, validate, apply. It found the Contoso semantic model and reported zero tables, zero measures, zero relationships. Two people, two completely different experiences.

572 - Built the ontology from a semantic model sitting in another workspace and another capacity. The docs call that a requirement, not a suggestion, and the agent starts bugging out when you cross it.

Before Al:
We need clear answers.
We need clear definitions.
We need a clear division of tasks.

With Al:
Anyone can build anything.
Everyone knows a bit about everything.

So we need..
Clear answers.
Clear definitions.
Clear division of tasks.

570 - A gig of cloud storage runs about 25 cents a year. Mike says that price is why bronze, silver, gold exists, and why semantic models hold data in memory instead of hitting SQL again.

568 - Stop handing me answers out of a semantic model. Build me the report, the visual, the actual thing. Non-Microsoft people are picking up this story now, and the returns show up on cheap hardware.

567 - Total revenue, written once, in DAX and T-SQL side by side in the same definition. Define the metric in one generic spot and every model and SQL database can use it.

567 - The semantic model definition in that screenshot is a YAML file sitting in a lakehouse, not attached to a model. It looks exactly like what Snowflake's been building, and that matters.

Power BI: the tale of migrating a report between two tenants
Before I get started, yes, I'm going to write about Power BI. If you're not familiar with my work, the long and short of it is that I tend to keep a healthy distance from anything involving semantic models and reports. Why? In one word, pie charts. Sorry if that triggered you. But every now and again, I need to do work adjacent to this; specifically, when onboarding new clients or helping them migrate things, I have to touch the Power BI stuff too.

560 - Handing an agent raw tables and hoping it figures things out is where most of this falls apart. If a human can't follow your relationships, an agent has no chance.
