The next evolution of in-report Copilot on the mobile app is now available in preview: a full conversational chat experience that lets you summarize, inquire, and analyze report data directly from your phone and tablet.

Previously, in-report Copilot on the mobile app supported summaries and predefined prompts. This made it easy to get a quick overview but limited how far users could go when they wanted to explore their data more deeply. With this update, in-report Copilot on the mobile app moves to a full chat experience, bringing the same chat‑based capabilities you know from Power BI service, optimized for mobile and grounded in the report you’re viewing.

In a Contoso sales report in Power BI Mobile, a user opens in‑report Copilot from the report header, asks about closing percentages by sales stage, and receives a data‑driven text response and bar chart generated from the report.

Getting started

Every report that meets Copilot requirements in Power BI has the Copilot button in its header, ready to assist you with just a single tap.

In the chat pane you can:

  • Generate a summary of the current report
  • Ask a question about the report’s data
  • Ask a follow up question to explore further
  • Use the prompt gallery to help get started with sample prompts

Two mobile phone screenshots display a sales report for Contoso, showing revenue, qualified pipeline, and closing percentages with bar charts and numerical data. The first screen shows detailed sales metrics including revenue goals and forecasts and highlight the in-report Copilot button on the report header, while the second screen highlights a Copilot chat preview with options to get a summary, ask questions, or analyze data.

Just like in Power BI service, in-report Copilot on the mobile app analyzes the report content for you, surfacing insights that would otherwise take time and effort to uncover grounded on the report data.

When you ask about a metric or KPI in a report, in‑report Copilot often includes a visualization along with its text response. Tap the visual to open a pane where you can interact with it and explore the details.

If you ask in-report Copilot to summarize a report, the response will include a summary with relevant citations. You can tap on a citation to open the visual in focus mode to view and interact with the visuals.

Keep chatting with your data. Ask in-report Copilot follow-up questions, refine your queries, and dive deeper into report insights.

To share data insights with your team, copy the response using the Copy action or tap Share from the visual pane.

Voice support: On iPhone and iPad, in-report Copilot supports dictation, so you can ask hands-free questions. Use Read aloud to listen to the response.

The new in-report Copilot chat experience on the Power BI mobile app makes it easier to analyze report data in context—whether you’re reviewing results on the go or preparing for a discussion around a specific report.
