Power BI Narrative Science

Microsoft today announced their collaboration with Narrative Science to bring Narratives for Power BI. Narratives automatically communicates insights from all connected Power BI data sources in natural language.

As you interact with your data and visualizations, Narratives for Power BI dynamically delivers insights in narrative form, just like what you’d expect an analyst would write. These narratives help more users to interpret data and visualizations in a more natural way and provide real-time results of analysis you can immediately share with others.

Your reports can automatically include intelligent narratives generated by Quill:

  • Tell stories from all available data: Narratives can be generated directly from the wide range of Power BI’s connected data sources and can be used to uncover trends hidden in visualizations.
  • Act as a companion analyst: Dynamic narratives continuously update as you interact with your data and visualizations, providing natural language insights driven by descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analytics.
  • Can be easily customized and shared: You can easily adjust the narratives according to your preferences and share these narratives with others, enhancing the context of insights.

Narratives for Power BI supports Power BI and the upcoming April 2016 release of Power BI Desktop. To try out Narratives for Power BI yourself, download the custom visual.
