For Power BI and Fabric semantic models

Open a model. Follow it from the Plan to Publish.

Semanticus is a workbench for semantic models inside VS Code. It follows the path your work already takes: see what needs doing, understand the model, change it, check it, and publish only what you meant to.

One made-up model, Contoso Retail, goes all the way through.

1 of 5 · Plan

See what needs doing, and who is doing it.

The Plan is where every piece of work lives. Semanticus lists what it found, you add tasks in your own words, and your assistant takes the ones you give it. Changes wait here for you, and History records every author.

  • FindingsFrom Model quality and other checks
  • TasksTyped by you, owned by anyone
  • ChangesBefore and after, keep or drop
  • HistoryWho did what, and Undo

You add a taskYour assistant takes it

Pro: Semanticus ranks the Plan and runs steps you allow.

Understand the model before you touch it.

See how tables connect, what depends on a column, which rows sit in a table, and where the memory goes. Lineage tells you which reports it checked and which it could not read.

  • DiagramTables and relationships
  • LineageWhat a change could affect
  • DataA bounded live row preview
  • Size by tableMeasured memory use

Pro: Ask your data, with the reading it chose shown so you can switch it.

Change it by hand, or hand it over.

Edit a measure, rename across the model with a preview, try a calculation in Queries, or change a Power Query step. Every DAX write is checked. History lets you inspect and undo recorded edits.

  • Find and replaceWith a preview first
  • QueriesResults and performance breakdown
  • AI instructionsAnd Model notes

Check the numbers before anyone else sees them.

Compare results with answers you trust, find model issues, and see how clearly AI can read the model. When Semanticus cannot check something, it says so. Unknown is not a pass.

  • ValidationPass, differs, could not check
  • Model qualityFindings you fix or accept
  • AI readinessA metadata score, with its limits
  • ReportsA record of each run

Publish only what you meant to.

Pick the destination, see the exact difference, clear anything that blocks it, then confirm. Each publish keeps a version you can roll back to.

  • PreviewThe exact difference
  • BlockersShown before you confirm
  • Published versionsRoll back with a preview
  • CompareAny two models

Review the destination and confirm the exact write.
