En esta página se describe la estructura recomendada para escribir peticiones eficaces para tus agentes de datos de la API Conversational Analytics en Looker. Estas peticiones son contextos creados que se definen como cadenas mediante el parámetro system_instruction.
Aspectos importantes sobre el contexto creado en Looker
Los desarrolladores de Looker también pueden definir cierto contexto directamente en los modelos de Looker mediante parámetros de LookML. Tu agente de datos obtendrá el contexto adecuado de estas definiciones de LookML sin que tengas que volver a definirlas en las definiciones de clave de tus instrucciones del sistema.
Los agentes de datos pueden obtener contexto de los siguientes parámetros de LookML:
description: este parámetro de LookML define una descripción solo para los campos, que se corresponde con las descripciones que puede definir en las clavesfieldsymeasures.synonyms: este parámetro de LookML define sinónimos solo para campos, lo que corresponde a los sinónimos que puede definir en las clavesfieldsymeasures.relationship: este parámetro de LookML define la relaciónjoinentre las vistas combinadas.
Ejemplos de componentes clave de las instrucciones del sistema
En las siguientes secciones se incluyen ejemplos de componentes clave de las instrucciones del sistema en Looker. Estas claves incluyen las siguientes:

Para ver las descripciones de estos componentes clave, consulta la página de documentación Guía el comportamiento del agente con contexto creado.
Describir los datos con tables
El siguiente bloque de código YAML muestra la estructura básica de la clave tables de la tabla order_items:
- tables:
- table:
- name: order_items
- tags:
- ecommerce
- transaction
Describir los campos que se usan con frecuencia con fields
El siguiente código YAML de ejemplo describe los campos clave, como total_sale_price, total_gross_margin, created_month_name, 30_day_repeat_purchase_rate y count, de la tabla orders_items:
- tables:
- table:
- name: order_items
- synonyms:
- sales
- line items
- items sold
- orders
- fields:
- field:
- name: total_sale_price
- description: "The total monetary value from items sold. Corresponds to 'Revenue'."
- aggregations: ['sum', 'avg']
- field:
- name: total_gross_margin
- description: "Revenue minus the cost of goods sold. Corresponds to 'Profit'."
- aggregations: ['sum', 'avg']
- field:
- name: created_month_name
- description: "The month name when an order was created, used for monthly reporting."
- field:
- name: 30_day_repeat_purchase_rate
- description: "Measures the likelihood of a customer to purchase again soon. Corresponds to 'Buying Propensity'."
- aggregations: ['avg']
- field:
- name: count
- description: "A count of order items."
- aggregations: ['sum']
En este ejemplo, los campos synonyms ya se han definido en el archivo LookML subyacente, por lo que no es necesario volver a definirlos aquí.
Definir métricas de negocio con measures
Por ejemplo, puedes definir un cálculo de tabla profit como el cálculo de los ingresos menos el coste de la siguiente manera:
- tables:
- table:
- name: order_items
- measures:
- measure:
- name: profit
- description: Raw profit (earnings minus cost).
- exp: earnings - cost
- synonyms: gains
Definir combinaciones de tablas con relationships
Por ejemplo, puede definir una relación order_items_to_users entre la tabla order_items de la exploración "Elementos de pedido" y la tabla users de la siguiente manera:
- relationships:
- relationship:
- name: order_items_to_users
- description: >-
Connects customer order data to user information with the user_id and id fields to allow an aggregated view of sales by customer demographics.
- relationship_type: many-to-one
- join_type: left
- left_table: order_items.order_items
- right_table: order_items.users
- relationship_columns:
- left_column: user_id
- right_column: id
Mejorar la precisión con golden_queries
Por ejemplo, puede definir consultas de referencia para análisis habituales de los datos de la tabla order_items de la siguiente manera:
- tables:
- table:
- golden_queries:
- golden_query:
- natural_language_query: What were total sales over the last year?
- sql_query: >-
SELECT SUM(total_sale_price) AS total_sales FROM order_items
WHERE created_date >= '2024-01-01' AND created_date < '2025-01-01';
También puedes definir consultas de referencia con una consulta de Looker en lugar de con una consulta de SQL, como se indica a continuación:
- tables:
- table:
- golden_queries:
- question: what were total sales over the last year
looker_query:
model: thelook
view: order_items
fields:
- order_items.total_sale_price
filters:
order_items.created_date: last year
sorts: []
limit: null
query_timezone: America/Los_Angeles
Describir tareas de varios pasos con golden_action_plans
Por ejemplo, puedes definir un plan de acción para mostrar los desgloses de pedidos por grupo de edad e incluir detalles sobre la consulta SQL y los pasos relacionados con la visualización de la siguiente manera:
- tables:
- table:
- golden_action_plans:
- golden_action_plan:
- natural_language_query: What is the correlation between customer age cohort and buying propensity?
- action_plan:
- step: "First, run a query in Looker to get the data needed for the analysis. You need to group by `users.age` (NOT AGE TIER) and calculate the average `order_items.30_day_repeat_purchase_rate` for each age."
- step: "Then, pass the resulting data table to the Python tool. Use a library to create a scatter plot with a regression line to visualize the correlation between raw age and the average 30-day repeat purchase rate."
Explicar términos empresariales con glossaries
Por ejemplo, puedes definir términos como "Estado de la empresa habitual" y "Cliente fiel" según el contexto específico de tu empresa de la siguiente manera:
- glossaries:
- glossary:
- term: Loyal Customer
- description: A customer who has made more than one purchase. Maps to the dimension 'user_order_facts.repeat_customer' being 'Yes'. High value loyal customers are those with high 'user_order_facts.lifetime_revenue'.
- synonyms:
- repeat customer
- returning customer
Incluye más instrucciones con additional_descriptions
Por ejemplo, puedes usar la tecla additional_descriptions para proporcionar información sobre tu agente de la siguiente manera:
- additional_descriptions:
- text: The user is typically a Sales Manager, Product Manager, or Marketing Analyst. They need to understand performance trends, build customer lists for campaigns, and analyze product sales.

You are an expert sales, product, and operations analyst for our e-commerce store. Your primary function is to answer questions by querying the 'Order Items' Explore. Always be concise and data-driven. When asked about 'revenue' or 'sales', use 'order_items.total_sale_price'. For 'profit' or 'margin', use 'order_items.total_gross_margin'. For 'customers' or 'users', use 'users.count'. The default date for analysis is 'order_items.created_date' unless specified otherwise.
