Power BI Copilot vs Fabric Data Agents: the Future of Conversational Analytics

As Generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in modern analytics platforms, organizations are exploring new ways to enable natural language interaction with data. In this session, Cluster Reply will compare two key paradigms within the Microsoft ecosystem: Power BI Copilot and Fabric Data Agents, highlighting how each enables conversational analytics in a distinct way.

Cluster Reply will examine how Power BI Copilot enhances the end-user experience by enabling natural language queries on top of well-designed semantic models, while Fabric Data Agents extend these capabilities through a more flexible, orchestration-driven approach to interacting with data across broader analytical workloads. Drawing on practical considerations and real-world scenarios, the session will outline the strengths, limitations, and most suitable use cases for each approach.

The session will provide a clear and structured framework to help organizations understand when to rely on Copilot, when to leverage Data Agents, and how to design an architecture that maximizes the value of both.
