A closer look at Looker Conversational Analytics

Empowering data analysts and developers

With the release of Conversational Analytics, our goal is for it to benefit data analysts and developers on top of line-of–business teams. The Conversational Analytics agent lets data analysts provide crucial context and instructions to Gemini, enhancing its ability to answer business user questions effectively, and empowering analysts to map business jargon to specific fields, specify the best fields for filtering, and define custom calculations.

Analysts can further curate the experience by creating agents for specific use cases. When business users select an agent, they can feel confident that they are interacting with the right data source.

As announced at Next 25, the Conversational Analytics API will power Conversational Analytics across multiple first-party Google Cloud experiences and third-party products, including customer applications, chat apps, Agentspace, and BigQuery, bringing the benefits of natural language queries to your data to the applications where you work every day. Later this year we’ll also bring Conversational Analytics into Looker Dashboards, allowing users to chat with their data in that familiar interface, whether inside Looker or embedded in other applications.Also, if you’re interested in solving even more complex problems while chatting with your data, you can try our new Code Interpreter (available in preview), which uses Python rather than SQL to perform advanced analysis like cohort analysis and forecasting. With the Conversational Analytics Code Interpreter, you can tackle data science tasks without learning advanced coding or statistical methods. Sign up for access here.
