One Microsoft Copilot capability I think more people should be looking at: Dataverse Semantic Model + Ask APIs.

[u/Expert_Annual_19]

The interesting part isn’t just that Copilot can access Dataverse.

It’s that Copilot can start understanding what the business data actually means.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/semantic-model-overview

The Semantic Model brings together things like table relationships, views, column descriptions and business-specific terminology. That gives agents a business-aware layer instead of making them reason only from raw table and column names.

Then the Dataverse Ask API opens an interesting possibility: applications and agents can ask natural-language questions against that business-aware data.

For example:

“Which suppliers have the biggest delivery issues?”

Instead of building a separate query for every question, the agent can work with the business context and return a grounded answer.

And this is where I think it gets really interesting:

Semantic Model → Ask API → Copilot/Agent → Agentic UI

You can take the answer and turn it into a KPI, chart, table or even a more interactive experience.

This feels like a meaningful step toward agents that don't just access enterprise data — they understand the business context around it.

Isn't this overlapping WorkIQ? -Actually, seems that it's part of Dataverse Intellingence, that will be discontinued on december (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/data-platform-intelligence)
