AI agents and conversational analytics

Looker AI answers from your governed LookML model, not from a separate copy of the data. See our conversational BI and decision intelligence work.

What we build

3 capabilities

  1. Conversational analytics

    Business users ask questions in plain language and get answers from your governed Looker model, not from a separate copy of the data.

  2. Automated intelligence

    Alerts and summaries flag what changed and why, so teams act without asking for a new report each time.

  3. Forward-looking insights

    Forecasts and trend models on BigQuery and Looker help leaders plan with the same numbers they already report on.

Productize and monetize data with Looker

What we build

3 capabilities

  1. Embedded analytics

    Looker dashboards and reports inside your own apps and portals, with your branding and single sign-on.

  2. Multi-tenant architecture

    One Looker model serves many customers or business units, and each tenant sees only its own data.

  3. Pixel-perfect delivery

    Formatted reports, statements, and scheduled exports that match the exact layout your stakeholders expect.

Looker data governance and access control

What we build

3 capabilities

  1. Real-time analytics

    Dashboards that read fresh data from BigQuery, so operations teams act on what is happening now.

  2. Role-based access control

    Access rules tied to roles, groups, and user attributes, so every person sees the right rows and fields.

  3. Custom BI development

    Custom visualizations, extensions, actions, and API integrations when standard Looker features are not enough.
