How Conversational Analytics helps users make the most of their data

At Google Cloud Next 25, Looker expanded the availability of Gemini in Looker, including Conversational Analytics, to all platform users. Conversational Analytics redefines how line-of-business employees can rapidly gain access to trusted data-driven insights through natural language. Traditional business intelligence products require steep learning curves or advanced SQL knowledge, limiting their use. Conversational Analytics breaks down these barriers, allowing users to ask questions and chat with their data using natural language. This feature makes BI more simple and approachable, democratizing data access and enabling users to ask data-related queries in plain language. Users receive accurate and relevant answers without needing to know SQL or specific data tools. Data analysts benefit from fewer support tickets and interruptions, while business users can take on their own data queries and get answers. Conversational Analytics provides trusted, consistent results, transparency, and the ability to ask follow-up questions. The feature also includes hidden insights with Gemini, which analyzes data results and generates additional insights about patterns and trends. With Conversational Analytics, Looker aims to make BI accessible to a wider audience, empowering more business users to leverage data in their daily routines.
