Where Power BI Copilot falls short, per the models
- GPT The agent experience remains fragmented across Power BI and Fabric, and meaningful use requires paid organizational capacity plus well-prepared semantic models
- Grok Steeper learning curve for full platform, Microsoft-centric lock-in, and Copilot features may lag in pure exploratory flexibility compared to dedicated chat tools (not ideal for solo non-Microsoft stack users).
