I Built a Full Power BI Report Using ONLY Claude AI (New Microsoft Authoring Agents Skills)

Microsoft just released new AGENTIC skills for Fabric — and they let an AI agent build a real Power BI report for you. In this video I connect Claude to Power BI Desktop and build a full 4-page report (DAX measures, KPI cards, navigation menu, custom theme, and a dynamic AI insight) entirely by describing what I want. No dragging, no manual visual authoring.

I also show you what AI produces WITHOUT these skills (spoiler: it is just average), how to set up the plugin in Claude, and how to feed it your own design for inspiration.

⚡ What you'll learn: • How the new Microsoft Agentic "Authoring" + "Design" skills work • Connecting Claude to Power BI Desktop (live model + report files) • Generating DAX measures and visuals from a plain-English prompt • Refining the report conversationally ("make it multi-page", "fix the slicer", "polish the cards") • Using a theme file as design inspiration to re-skin the whole report • Why the validate → reload → screenshot loop makes the output actually correct
