AI assistance with Gemini in Looker

Gemini in Looker provides AI assistance to help you in the following ways:

  • Ask questions of your data with Conversational Analytics. Gemini in Looker lets you ask questions about your data source using natural language. Gemini returns Looker Studio charts or data tables based on your query. You can learn more about how your response was generated, as well as save your conversation for future reference.

  • Create calculated fields using natural language. Gemini in Looker lets you create calculated fields in Looker Studio by prompting you to describe the kinds of fields that you'd like to create. Based on your input, Gemini suggests a formula for a calculated field using fields from your data source and Looker Studio functions and operators.

  • Add Looker Studio content to your Slides presentation. Gemini in Looker lets you import components from your Looker Studio Pro reports into your Slides presentations. Gemini inserts report charts as images, then generates a textual summary of each image and inserts the summary as a text element. You can generate a new Slides presentation using all visualizations in a Looker Studio report or selected visualizations only, or add or update Looker Studio content to an existing Slides presentation. You can also update the Looker Studio data that has been imported in a Slides presentation.
