SmartVisuals AI Chatbot brings conversational AI into your Power BI reports. Ask a question about your data in plain English or your own language and get an answer, a chart or a working DAX formula in seconds. AI is included: get a free license key, paste it into the visual and start chatting - no AI account, no API key, no setup.

New in 1.1: answers you can check

"How I got this" under every answer (free) - the fields, filters, periods and grouping actually used and how many rows went in, plus "Show rows" to see them. The visual calculates the numbers on your data; the AI does not guess them.
Like-for-like comparisons - "Jan-Aug 2026 vs 2025" compares the same months in both years and flags a period that is only partly covered.
Export from charts (Professional) - copy a chart as an image, copy the data behind it, or export it to CSV through the Power BI download (where your tenant allows downloads).
Starter questions and follow-ups built from your real field names.

Features

Instant Insights (free, no license) - totals, top and bottom performers, trends and data completeness, computed on your device without AI.
Natural language questions (free with a monthly message limit) - "What were the top 5 products by revenue last quarter?" Filters and slicers are respected.
DAX Assistant (Starter) - generate, explain and debug measures written with your real table and column names.
Automatic charts (Professional) - bar, line, pie, donut and area charts in the visual's theme colors.
Breakdowns by two dimensions at once (Professional), such as revenue by segment and country.
Insight Discovery (Professional) - AI-generated question sets that look for trends, outliers and comparisons, with an executive report.
PDF export to email (Professional) - the conversation or an AI executive summary as a branded PDF.
Themes and formatting (free) - SmartVisuals, Modern, Dark, Terminal or a custom mode with your colors, fonts, layout and avatars. No watermark on any plan.

Current AI models

SmartVisuals AI is included and is the default. Prefer your own AI account? Bring your own key (BYOK) and pick the model: Anthropic Claude Haiku 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1; OpenAI GPT-6 Luna, Sol and Astra; Google Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, 3.8 Flash and 3.1 Pro; xAI Grok 4.3 and 4.7; or your own Azure OpenAI deployment.

Accessibility

Keyboard operable: Tab moves between the message box, send button, menu and chart menus; Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line, arrow keys move in menus and Escape closes them. The conversation is a live region for screen readers, icon buttons are labelled, Power BI high-contrast mode is honored, and animations are off by default and follow the reduced-motion setting.

Languages

Chat interface, Instant Insights and answers in English, German, French, Spanish and Czech; the AI answers in the language of the question or a chosen chat language. The format pane is in English.

Plans

Privacy and data

This visual uses an external AI service and is not certified by Microsoft. With the included AI, your question, column names, sample values and the results the visual computed are sent through SmartVisuals servers to the AI provider, used only to answer and never for model training. With BYOK, OpenAI, xAI and Azure OpenAI are called directly from your browser; Anthropic and Google go through a non-storing relay. Your API key is never stored on SmartVisuals servers. Cloud conversation history is off by default. All endpoints are declared in the visual's WebAccess privileges; licensing is validated on the server.

Get started

Add the visual, bind your fields and see Instant Insights right away. For AI chat, paste your free license key into the visual's settings and ask - or click a starter question. Documentation, FAQ, troubleshooting and release notes: smartvisuals.io/chatbot.
