Your data in Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and any AI app you use: meet the AI connector and data dashboards
π Our biggest release yet
DataTako now connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and other MCP-compatible AI apps. Ask questions about your Power BI data straight from your AI app, and turn your central semantic models into fully interactive dashboards that you publish to DataTako. Every access control in DataTako applies, row-level security included.
π€ The DataTako AI connector (MCP)
Talk to your data in your own AI app. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or another MCP-compatible AI app to DataTako in a few clicks. From then on it can query the semantic models behind your reports and assistants live, so you can ask things like "Which customers grew fastest this quarter?" or "Why did margin drop in March?" and get answers based on your real numbers.
-
Your security model, fully intact. The AI app sees exactly what the user sees in DataTako, row-level security included. Nothing is exposed until an administrator switches it on per report, assistant or management form.
-
More than reading. AI apps can also work with your management forms: read, add, change or delete rows, for example budgets, targets or account manager lists. You decide per form what's allowed.
-
One connection, all your organisations. Users choose which of their organisations the AI app may use, and can change that at any time.
-
Full visibility. Under Settings β AI apps you see every connected app and every action it took: which report or form, whether it succeeded, which rows changed. You can disconnect an app with one click.
-
No AI credits needed. The language model runs in the user's own AI app subscription. No provider keys, no extra setup.

π Data dashboards: built with AI, on your semantic models
Your central semantic models, now as fully interactive dashboards. Data dashboards run directly on the Power BI semantic models you already maintain: the same measures, the same definitions, one version of the truth. Build them from your AI tool, publish them to DataTako, and every access control applies automatically: who can open the dashboard, and per viewer which data they see through row-level security.
-
Anything a web page can do. KPI tiles, charts and tables, slicers and date pickers, click-to-filter, drill-down from year to day or from category to transaction, multiple pages, detail panels, all in your users' language and number formats.
-
From your AI tool straight to DataTako. The AI app saves its work as a draft. Preview it in DataTako, ask for changes in the same chat until it's right, then publish.
-
Managed like your reports. Data dashboards live in your report groups next to your reports, with the same sharing, user groups and row-level security roles. Every query runs live in Power BI with the viewer's own access.
