Integrating a LUIS Chatbot with Power BI? – Has anyone successfully integrated a LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Service) chatbot with Power BI? Looking for guidance on real-time interaction.

I’m exploring the integration of a LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Service) chatbot with Power BI to enable real-time interactions. Has anyone successfully implemented this? Looking for guidance on best practices, API integration, or any existing solutions.

Answer 1

Yes, integrating a LUIS chatbot with Power BI is possible using APIs and Power Automate. Here’s how:

Approach:

1. LUIS Model Setup – Train LUIS to understand queries related to Power BI reports (e.g., "Show sales by region").
2. Power BI REST API – Use the chatbot to call Power BI’s API to fetch data, refresh datasets, or trigger queries.
3. Power Automate Integration – Create a Power Automate flow to connect LUIS with Power BI and return results dynamically.
4. Embedding in Power BI – Use Power BI’s Q&A visual or an embedded chatbot to enable user queries within dashboards.
