Can AI Go Straight from Requirements to Power BI Models?
Description
Nobody loves requirements docs. They’re the corporate equivalent of writing a novel just so someone can skim the back cover. The real question is whether you can ditch all that and go straight from “here’s what I need” to a working Power BI model. In this episode, Rob and Justin push AI into that role and see what breaks, what builds, and what actually saves you time.
Turns out, the magic isn’t in making AI look impressive on a demo slide. It’s in whether it can wire up tables, relationships, and measures fast enough that your team can skip the plumbing and jump right to the good part: asking “does this answer the question?” instead of “why won’t this table join?” That’s the test, and it’s the only one that matters.
From tools that feel like friendly appliances to those that lean full hacker-mode, Rob and Justin run the gauntlet. They even crack open Copilot’s inner workings to see how answers really get formed. It’s a gritty look at whether AI can finally cut the “first-hour tax” every project pays and give leaders a faster path to value.
