Nova Analyst

Nova Analyst is an AI analyst and Power BI assistant designed for Microsoft Teams.

Nova Analyst helps organisations turn questions, documents, and governed Power BI data into business answers. Users can analyse Power BI and Fabric semantic models, monitor KPIs, review files and board packs, assess RFPs and tenders, and create report drafts inside Teams.

Instead of searching through dashboards, waiting for report requests, writing DAX, or switching between tools, users can ask questions in plain English and receive answers based on the data they are authorised to see.

What Nova Analyst can do

• Ask Power BI questions in Teams
  

  Ask about sales, revenue, margin, trends, year-to-date results, prior-year comparisons, top performers, variances, and business breakdowns.

• Use governed semantic models
  

  Work with trusted Power BI and Fabric semantic models, including approved measures, dimensions, fields, filters, relationships, and business logic.

• Continue analysis naturally
  

  Ask follow-up questions such as “break this down by country”, “show this by month”, or “why is this result high?” while Nova Analyst retains the analytical context.

• Support Power BI administration and governance
  

  Discover semantic models, inspect measures and fields, understand model structure, review refresh information and usage, and identify potential governance or model-health issues.

• Protect shared Teams conversations
  

  In channels, group chats, and meeting chats, Nova Analyst can check access before presenting business results, helping reduce the risk of exposing sensitive information.

• Save, schedule, and monitor insights
  

  Save repeat questions, schedule recurring updates, and monitor measures through KPI watchlists and alerts.

• Create Power BI report drafts
  

  Create report drafts from natural-language requests, including suggested measures, breakdowns, filters, page structures, and visual types.

• Create Business Analysis Packs
  

  Where enabled, generate structured analysis packs combining key metrics, trends, comparisons, commentary, risks, and supporting evidence.

• Analyse files and board packs
  

  Upload supported files, business documents, and board packs for summarisation, comparison, key-point extraction, risk identification, and structured analysis.

• Review RFPs and tenders
  

  Analyse RFPs, tender documents, and supporting files to identify requirements, deadlines, evaluation criteria, risks, gaps, and response actions.
