Inherited trust and transparency
For users to adopt an AI-based system, they must trust the information it provides them. When generating an insight, the Looker dashboard agent explicitly shows its work by displaying intermediate reasoning, referenced dashboard tiles, and applied filters. Additionally, the administrator needs to trust users only have access to data and insights to which they are authorized. The dashboard agent is backed by Looker’s governance model, managed through standard permissions.
We are actively working on additional capabilities for the Looker dashboard agent, including support for iframe embedding, allowing organizations to bring dashboard agents alongside Looker dashboards into any essential portal or application.

With Looker version 26.08.11 and later, administrators can activate the dashboard agent capability by toggling “Enable Chat with Dashboard” within the Gemini in Looker settings.
