1 Gemini in Looker Automated Slide Generation Preview
Today’s business intelligence (BI) offerings are rapidly transforming into powerful, generative AI-driven data analysis tools that can be accessed by all members of your organization. Today, as part of that transformation, we are bringing two key features of Gemini in Looker to preview: automated Google Slides generation, and an AI-powered formula assistant that can speed how you analyze and engage with your data.
As we talked about at Google Cloud Next this April, Gemini in Looker is designed to revamp the way you gain insights from the most important data in the world — yours. By using natural language and Google’s AI, we set you on a path to more rapidly discover, collaborate and make decisions across your team, and bring these benefits to everyone in your organization.
Insights are most valuable when they’re easy to understand and communicate to the stakeholders who can use them. With trusted metrics as its foundation, Looker has long been a leader in data visualization and intelligent reporting, and its connections to Google Workspace ensure we take your team’s discoveries to the tools they use to learn, share and make decisions.
With the preview of Google Slides generation in Gemini in Looker, users can now create presentations with insightful chart summaries from Looker Studio Pro in seconds, to rapidly accelerate data storytelling — complete with charts and summaries in Slides that stay current as your data changes. Gone are the days of painstakingly moving data and imagery from your BI tools into untitled slides. Gemini in Looker leverages Google’s AI to eliminate that cold start, transforming your reports to visually appealing slides that tell a full story.
To activate Google Slides generation in Gemini in Looker, simply open a Looker Studio Pro report, turn to the Gemini side panel and choose the “Generate Slides” button. Google’s AI does the hard work for you.
In addition to slide generation, Formula Assistant is also available in preview. This makes it easier than ever to create calculated fields that tap into metrics and dimensions based on your unique data set, simply by using a natural language prompt.
To get started with Formula Assistant, use the “Add a field” button in Looker Studio Pro and choose “Add calculated field”. Then, select the “Help me write” icon in the field editor. Gemini in Looker will ask you what you would like to build — tell it, and it will build a formula for you. If you love the formula, add it to your field, and you’re good to go.
For the last decade, the complexity of many business intelligence tools has been slow to reach all users, limiting the full potential of data analysis to a small subset of your team. Not any more. Gemini in Looker changes all this by empowering everyone to chat with their data in natural language and engage in the tools they use every day.
