Could Databricks app support the integration of Genei Room and Power BI?

Is it possible: a Databricks App embedding Power BI ? Rather than placing Genie inside Power BI, place Power BI inside Databricks. A Databricks App (React or Streamlit) hosts native Genie chat alongside a Power BI report embedded via the JavaScript SDK.

Databricks App using the AppKit Genie plugin (GenieChat, useGenieChat, SSE streaming, conversation persistence) or the SDK directly
Power BI Embedded in embed-for-your-organization mode (user-owns-data) with Entra ID
App registration in Entra and workspace permissions in Power BI
Hosting and application lifecycle ownership

The integration is technically feasible. Apps built with AppKit (the recommended TypeScript + React SDK) generally include a native Genie plugin that provides conversational AI/BI capabilities with natural language queries. You can embed a Power BI report alongside this Genie interface in the same app using standard iframe embedding or the Power BI JavaScript SDK. The architecture involves a React component hosting both the AppKit GenieChat component (handles Databricks authentication automatically) and a Power BI embed container configured for Entra ID authentication.
