Unified Advanced Analytics: Integrating Power BI and Databricks Genie for Real-time Insights
In today’s data-driven landscape, business users expect seamless, interactive analytics without having to switch between different environments. This presentation explores our web application that unifies a Power BI dashboard with Databricks Genie, allowing users to query and visualize insights from the same dataset within a single, cohesive interface. We will compare two integration strategies: one that leverages a traditional webpage enhanced by an Azure bot to incorporate Genie’s capabilities, and another that utilizes Databricks Apps to deliver a smoother, native experience. We use the Genie API to build this solution.
Attendees will learn the architecture behind these solutions, key design considerations and challenges encountered during implementation. Join us to see live demos of both approaches, and discover best practices for delivering an all-in-one, interactive analytics experience.
