Connect Databricks and
Power BI with AI

Redbird AI syncs your lakehouse data, ML outputs, and feature tables from Databricks directly into Power BI dashboards and datasets. Stop exporting CSVs, rebuilding data models manually, or writing custom connectors to keep reports current with your latest transformations.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Auto-refresh Power BI datasets when Databricks Delta tables update

Trigger dataset refreshes in Power BI whenever Delta tables complete processing or new data lands. Keep executive dashboards and operational reports in sync with your lakehouse without manual refresh schedules or stale data.

Sync ML model predictions to Power BI semantic models for real-time scoring dashboards

Push batch prediction outputs and model scores from Databricks ML workflows into Power BI datasets automatically. Analytics teams see the latest churn scores, forecasts, or recommendations without waiting for data engineering.

Send aggregated metrics from Databricks SQL Warehouses to Power BI on schedule

Query Databricks SQL endpoints, aggregate results, and update Power BI datasets with pre-calculated metrics. Reduce compute costs and improve dashboard performance by pushing summarized data instead of direct querying.

Capture Power BI report filter selections to trigger Databricks job runs

When business users apply specific filters or drill into segments in Power BI, automatically kick off Databricks jobs to generate detailed analysis or refresh underlying data slices. Enable self-serve deep dives without analyst involvement.

Alert data engineering when Power BI dataset refresh failures hit thresholds

Monitor Power BI refresh status and send alerts to Databricks workflows or Slack channels when failures occur. Trigger automated diagnostics or fallback data pipeline jobs to investigate and resolve data quality issues.

Archive Power BI usage metrics to Databricks Delta Lake for long-term analysis

Export Power BI workspace activity, report views, and user engagement data into Delta tables. Build historical usage models, forecast capacity needs, and optimize report performance using Databricks analytics on months of telemetry.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Databricks and Power BI with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands Databricks table schemas, job runs, and ML model outputs alongside Power BI dataset structures, refresh semantics, and workspace permissions.

AI that reads Delta Lake schemas and Power BI data models

Redbird maps Databricks table columns, partition keys, and Unity Catalog metadata to Power BI datasets, measures, and relationships automatically. The AI recognizes when Delta table schemas evolve, updates corresponding dataset fields, and handles type conversions between Spark SQL and Power Query M without custom code. Whether you're syncing bronze layer raw data or gold layer aggregations, Redbird adapts to your lakehouse architecture.

Incremental refresh orchestration
10×

faster than building Direct Query connections or custom XMLA endpoint scripts

No Python notebooks for incremental sync logic or manual Power BI REST API authentication flows

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Databricks and Power BI simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Databricks or Power BI.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Databricks into Power BI, or from Power BI back into Databricks. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start workflows from Databricks job completions, table updates, or Power BI refresh events and take action across both platforms.
