Conversational BI

Plant managers, operations supervisors, and supply chain planners should not need BI training to get answers from your data platform. Conversational BI puts a natural language interface in front of your Power BI semantic model — ask a question in plain English, get the answer from your data. Deployed on Microsoft Teams or as a web interface. Built on Azure OpenAI and Copilot Studio.

What we hear from operators

The problems we solve

01

The analyst team is buried in one-off data requests

The dashboard was supposed to enable self-service. Instead, every time a manager wants a number that isn't on the standard view, they email the analyst. The analyst pulls the data, formats it, sends it back. The manager has what they need — three days later, after the decision window has passed. Power BI is running. Self-service analytics is not.

02

Plant floor supervisors cannot use a BI tool during a shift

A shift supervisor on a production floor does not have time to open Power BI, navigate to the right report, apply the right filters, and interpret the chart. They need to ask "what was our line 3 OEE last shift and what caused the biggest downtime event?" and get the answer in 10 seconds. Conversational BI is the interface that makes analytics accessible to the people closest to the operation.

03

Dashboard adoption stops at the dashboard

Adoption metrics for most Power BI deployments look good at launch and drop sharply within three months. The users who persist are the ones comfortable with data visualisation. Everyone else reverts to spreadsheets and email chains. The problem is the interface — charts and filters require a mental model that most business users have not been trained to use.

04

The semantic model exists but only three people know how to query it

After a Power BI implementation, most organisations have a well-structured semantic model with clean measures, calculated columns, and a proper dimensional model. And usually two or three people who can use it effectively. The investment in the data model is underutilised because the access point — the Power BI front end — is too narrow for the operational audience.
