Gemini in Looker
Business intelligence (BI) solutions available today are evolving quickly into robust, generative AI-driven data analysis tools that are accessible to any employee in your company. Two of Gemini’s most important features automated Google Slides creation and an AI-powered formula assistant that may expedite your data analysis and interaction are now available for preview as part of that transition.
As they discussed at Google Cloud Next in April, Gemini in Looker feature is intended to revolutionize how you get insights from the most significant data in existence: your own. Google cloud put you on a route to more quickly explore, collaborate, and make decisions with your team by utilising natural language and Google’s AI, and they extend these advantages to every member of your organisation.
Google Slides
Create Google Slides automatically from your reports in a matter of seconds
When insights are simple to comprehend and share with the relevant stakeholders, they are most beneficial. Gemini in Looker has been a leader in data visualization and intelligent reporting for a long time, building on reliable metrics. Its connections to Google Workspace ensure that they transfer your team’s discoveries to the tools they need to learn, collaborate, and make choices.
Users can now quickly speed data storytelling by creating presentations with smart chart summaries from Looker Studio Pro in seconds, replete with Slides charts and summaries that update as your data changes, thanks to the preview of Google Slides generation in Gemini in Looker. The days of laboriously transferring images and data from your BI tools into blank slides are long gone.
Gemini in looker uses Google AI to do rid of that frigid start and turns your reports into eye-catching presentations with a comprehensive narrative.
Simply open a Looker Studio Pro report, navigate to the Gemini side panel, and select the “Generate Slides” button to enable Gemini in Looker. The laborious task is done for you by Google’s AI.
Formula Assistant
Make calculated fields and formulas without referring to your handbook
Not only can Formula Assistant generate slides, but it is also available in preview. With just a natural language prompt, you can now build calculated fields that access metrics and dimensions based on your own data set more easily than before.
Use Looker Studio Pro’s “Add a field” button and select “Add calculated field” to begin using Formula Assistant. Next, click the field editor’s “Help me write” icon. Looker’s Gemini will ask you what you want to make, and it will create a formula based on your input. Add the formula to your field if you adore it, and you’ll be set to go.
A tiny portion of your workforce has been able to fully utilise data analysis due to the complexity of many business intelligence products during the past 10 years, keeping it out of reach for all users. Not in the future. All of this is changed by Looker’s Gemini, which enables users to interact with their data using natural language and using the tools they use on a daily basis.
