Discussion Should we actually be worried as Power BI developers right now?
LinkedIn has been full of “this is the end of Power BI” posts again. The timing lines up with a couple of real things that just happened. Claude launched Dashboards in beta earlier this month. People are already posting about describing a report in chat and getting something usable back, and some are connecting it to Power BI semantic models via MCP so it can query live data instead of just inventing charts. At the same time, FabCon Barcelona had Microsoft talking about agentic app creation coming into Power BI Desktop and positioning Fabric Apps as the next step beyond traditional reports. Both are still early, but it's clear where it's headed.
I’ve been watching the noise more than the actual impact so far. Curious what others are seeing. Are any of you noticing real client work shifting because of this, or is it still mostly LinkedIn talk? And if the direction is real, what are you focusing on so you’re not just waiting to get squeezed out?
