Please join us for this very interesting session, lunchtime learning, by Rakesh Sookay!

Session Title: 𝗠𝗖𝗣 + 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗜. A Live Demo.

Rakesh has been connecting AI agents directly to live Power BI semantic models using Model Context Protocol for a while now. The AI reads his tables, understands my DAX measures, writes new ones, runs queries against the model. It's part of his daily workflow at this point.
On March 19 he's going to show the whole thing working. Live, online, at Karoo Data User Group. Including the parts where it breaks, because it does.
If you work with Power BI or you're curious about what MCP actually looks like in practice, come join us remotely for this session, it is specially for you!

## About

I spent two and a half decades in contact centres and IT. Stable career. Consistent paycheck. Safe. In July 2024, I walked away from all of it to build BI Dashboards, a consulting business focused on one thing: helping companies get their data right. Not just dashboards. Not just reports that look good in a board meeting. The actual foundation underneath. How your data is stored, cleaned, structured, and made accessible. Because I've seen what happens when that part gets skipped. Executives make decisions on numbers they can't fully trust. Finance scrambles before every board meeting to reconcile conflicting spreadsheets. And when the dashboard doesn't match the report, everyone blames the tool instead of the foundation it was built on. I work with CEOs and CFOs who are tired of that cycle. The ones who want one version of the truth, updated in real time, that the whole leadership team can rely on. I've turned down significant projects because the client wasn't willing to fix the foundation first. That's not stubbornness. It's the only way I know how to deliver something that actually works long-term. If your leadership team is still cross-checking spreadsheets before presenting to the board, we should talk.
