When to use Power BI alone¶
Power BI is the right system for Business intelligence reporting and modeling. It is built for that job and does it well. If that is your only need, Power BI is the answer.
When to add CorpusIQ¶
The pain starts when reports are not the same thing as answers. Power BI requires a data model, a report, and someone to maintain it. CorpusIQ answers the question directly, with citations.
CorpusIQ connects Power BI to those systems and exposes all of them to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. ask "what is our true ROAS across Shopify, Google Ads, and GA4" and get a cited answer without building a single report.
