567: Picking the Right Model for the Task (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike & Tommy dive into why choosing the right AI model is one of the most consequential decisions a Power BI or Fabric team can make—and why most teams aren't making it deliberately at all. They explore the tension between cost, capability, and governance: when a frontier model is worth it, when a cheaper one is more than enough, and why letting a model review its own DAX is a governance risk hiding in plain sight.

566: Agentic Dev of PBI Reports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike & Tommy are joined one last time by Kurt Buhler as they dive into the agentic development of Power BI reports, wrestling with why generating a governed dashboard is so much harder than spinning up a web app or 3D model, and whether that friction is a platform problem, a data problem, or a skills problem. They tackle the biggest misconceptions teams have when pitching agentic BI internally, debate whether dashboards are headed toward becoming ephemeral artifacts, and make their most realisti
565: Your Identity is Bigger Than Power BI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike & Tommy are joined again by Kurt Buhler to tackle whether calling yourself a "Power BI person" is quietly capping your career in the age of AI, exploring how an AI-powered workflow expands your lens beyond a single tool to the full BI and application space, and why that shift should feel like liberation, not a threat. They dig into who gets empowered versus who feels replaced, and what it really means to add value when AI is handling more of the build. Links: https://meetu.ps/e/Q9Sv6/wL2WS/
564: Data Literacy in the AI Era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike & Tommy are joined again by Kurt Buhler and tackle the intersection of data literacy and AI literacy, exploring how self-awareness — or the lack of it — shapes the way teams build and consume Power BI and Microsoft Fabric solutions. They dig into whether AI raises the floor while lowering the ceiling, why poor data literacy can become more dangerous in an AI-assisted world, and how to keep critical, creative, and curious thinking alive when Copilot is in every seat.

563: Fabric Apps Fit into the PBI World (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike & Tommy are joined by Kurt Buhler as they dive into Fabric Apps and where they actually fit in the Power BI world, weighing whether they replace traditional reports, who owns them in a real org, and whether low code is getting cornered by AI agents. They break down the pre-requirements for success, the unlocks Fabric Apps offer that reports never will, and why ambition, visual literacy, and planning friction matter more than the tool itself.
