April 2026

April marked the arrival of Power Pilot Gen2, the new generation of the AI assistant, with AI page analysis, suggested questions and answers via WhatsApp as well. The month also brought linking groups to companies, choosing the days of the week for weekly subscriptions and notices that show up right away for users already in the portal.

Improvements

  • Usage origin in the Power Pilot Gen2 audit: the Power Pilot Gen2 usage audit now identifies the channel through which tokens were consumed: the widget in the report, WhatsApp, suggested questions, page analysis or the public API. The screen gained an origin column and filter, and the information is also included in the CSV and Excel exports, making it easier to understand where your AI spending goes. See the documentation

New features

  • Power Pilot Gen2: the new generation of Power Pilot has arrived, the AI assistant that answers questions about the data in your reports. It works with several AI models, discovers the structure of the data model and runs DAX queries to answer, reusing the schema between questions to reduce token consumption, with usage auditing and quota control. See the documentation
  • AI page analysis: when enabled in the assistant, a button in the Power Pilot Gen2 widget sends the data from the visuals on the current report page to the AI, which returns a text analysis of what the page shows. The option is enabled per assistant. See the documentation

Improvements

  • Suggested questions: after each answer, Power Pilot Gen2 suggests new questions generated by the AI from the conversation, with predefined questions as a fallback. This way, users can more easily discover what they can ask. See the documentation
  • Power Pilot Gen2 on WhatsApp: messages received through the WhatsApp integration are now answered by Power Pilot Gen2, bringing the new generation of the assistant to your users' phones as well. See the documentation

New features

  • Groups linked to companies: when creating or editing a company, in Companies, you can now link user groups, in addition to individual users. All users in the group become related to the company, with no need to link them one by one. See the documentation
  • Days of the week in weekly subscriptions: when setting up a report subscription with Weekly recurrence, you can select one or more days of the week for delivery in the same configuration. See the documentation

Improvements

  • Notices shown right away to users already in the portal: when a new notice is published, it now appears automatically in a window for users who already have the Reports Portal open. Before, the notice was only shown at the next login. This is useful for communicating outages, scheduled maintenance or delays in data refreshes. See the documentation
  • Collapsible pages side menu: when viewing reports, the side menu with the report's pages gained a button to collapse and expand it. With the menu collapsed, the report takes up the free area of the screen.
  • Menus close when you click outside: in the Reports Portal, an expanded menu now closes when you click anywhere outside it, as in most systems.
  • Clear message when the AI token limit is reached: when the token limit configured for the AI is reached, Power Pilot users in the Reports Portal now see a specific message that explains the reason and tells them to contact the environment administrator, instead of a generic error.
  • SMTP settings grouped on the company screen: in the company settings, the SMTP fields are now grouped in the expandable SMTP Settings section, following the same pattern already used for the organization, which keeps the screen more organized. See the documentation

Improvements

  • Full screen for reports shared via link: reports accessed externally through a shared link now offer the full-screen view option, useful for presentations, meetings and detailed analysis.

Improvements

  • Slow dataset refresh alert: when a dataset refresh does not finish after the status checks (three checks, five minutes apart) and has not failed either, Power Embedded sends an alert email saying the refresh is taking more than 15 minutes. The email recommends reviewing the data model, since long refreshes can increase capacity consumption. See the documentation
  • "View as user" for Contributors too: the View as user action, previously available only to administrators, can now be used by users with the Contributor role, who can present reports as a client sees them.
