PowerBI Builder

Inspiration

Creating professional Power BI dashboards is a time-consuming process that usually requires expertise in data modeling, DAX, visualization design, and business analysis. I wanted to build an AI system that could automate this workflow while still producing explainable and reliable results.

What it does

PowerBI Builder is an AI-powered multi-agent system that converts Excel, CSV, or JSON datasets together with natural language instructions into complete Power BI (.pbip) projects.

The generated project includes:

  • Semantic models
  • Relationships
  • DAX measures
  • Dashboard layouts
  • Business insights
  • Documentation
  • Explainability logs

Instead of generating a single solution, the system explores multiple candidates, evaluates them, selects the best one, validates the result, and produces a deployable Power BI project.

How I built it

The project combines Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) with a deterministic multi-agent generation engine.

Specialized agents collaborate throughout the pipeline, including:

  • Planner Agent
  • BI Reasoning Agent
  • Data Analyzer Agent
  • Data Cleaner Agent
  • Schema Agent
  • Relationship Agent
  • DAX Agent
  • Visual Planner Agent
  • Report Agent
  • Validator Agent
  • Judge Layer

Google ADK manages agent orchestration, tool execution, and user interaction, while the deterministic engine ensures reproducible and explainable outputs.

Challenges I ran into

One of the biggest challenges was balancing AI flexibility with deterministic and reproducible results.

Other challenges included:

  • Building a modular multi-agent architecture
  • Designing candidate-based reasoning
  • Validating generated semantic models
  • Producing consistent DAX measures
  • Coordinating communication between multiple agents
  • Keeping the generated Power BI project reliable and explainable

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Built an end-to-end AI system for Power BI generation
  • Implemented multi-agent orchestration using Google ADK
  • Added candidate-based decision making
  • Implemented explainable AI through decision logs
  • Generated complete PBIP projects automatically
  • Created an extensible architecture for future editing and optimization

What I learned

This project reinforced how effective agentic systems become when reasoning is combined with deterministic engineering.

I also gained practical experience designing scalable multi-agent workflows, validation pipelines, explainability mechanisms, and AI-assisted BI automation.

What's next for PowerBI Builder

Future work includes:

  • Direct PBIX editing
  • Power BI REST API integration
  • Live database connectivity
  • Incremental dashboard editing
  • Interactive dashboard refinement through conversation
  • Support for additional BI platforms
  • Smarter business reasoning and planning
