AI for Analytics: Copilot, NL Query & Text-to-SQL, UK
Let your team ask questions and get answers they can trust. We make AI work for analytics (Copilot, natural-language query, text-to-SQL and grounded AI agents) by preparing the semantic model so answers are accurate and traceable.
Copilot earns trust when it reads from a governed semantic model: named measures, grounded sources and human review make each answer traceable before it informs a decision.
Outcomes
- True answers grounded in trusted data
- Copilot that's accurate because the model is ready
- Faster insight without a BI bottleneck
- AI you can govern, audit and disclose
Copilot readiness
We prepare your semantic model (naming, descriptions, measures, relationships) so Microsoft Copilot in Power BI returns accurate answers. Copilot accuracy is largely a function of the model beneath it.
Natural-language query & text-to-SQL
Let non-technical users ask questions against governed data, with the query layer constrained to your model so answers stay correct.
Grounded AI agents
AI assistants grounded in your governed semantic model and approved documents, so responses are traceable to your data, with guardrails against hallucination.
Governance & compliant decision-making
Human-in-the-loop design, audit trails and disclosure for automated decision-making. These controls are increasingly required under the EU AI Act, Australia's ADM rules and US state law. We build AI you can defend.
Is Power BI Copilot accurate?
A well-described semantic model helps Copilot interpret your business questions. We prepare the measures and relationships, then compare answers with agreed source figures before rollout. Human review remains part of consequential reporting decisions.
What capacity do we need for Power BI Copilot?
Copilot in Power BI requires paid Fabric F2 or higher, or Power BI Premium P1 or higher capacity. Pro or Premium Per User alone is insufficient. Availability also depends on administrator settings, supported region and access for the Copilot experience you use. We assess the model, intended questions and capacity needs so you can budget the preparation and rollout together.
Will AI give my team wrong numbers?
It can, if it's ungrounded. We constrain AI to your governed semantic model, keep a human in the loop for consequential decisions, and add audit trails so answers are traceable and defensible.
Do we need this for compliance?
If AI informs decisions about people (pricing, eligibility, prioritisation), automated-decision-making transparency is becoming law (EU AI Act, Australia's 2026 Privacy Act reforms, US state rules). We document it and set up the disclosure, turning compliance into a selling point.
