Looker

Analyze governed data, deliver business insights, and build AI-powered applications

Build the foundation for responsible data insights with Looker. Leveraging Google’s deep roots and track record of AI-led innovation, Looker delivers the most intelligent BI solution by combining foundational AI, cloud-first infrastructure, industry leading APIs, and our flexible semantic layer.

Features

Build custom data experiences and data apps with Looker’s powerful embedded capabilities

Embedded analytics goes beyond placing dashboards in apps. It's about transforming data into deeply integrated, value-driving experiences. With Looker, fully interactive dashboards can be seamlessly integrated into your applications. The robust API coverage allows you to do just about anything from the UI via API. This unlocks limitless possibilities to create data experiences beyond a Looker dashboard. In addition, Looker extensions integrate directly with Vertex AI, enabling powerful custom AI workflows and advanced analytics within your Looker instance.

Transform your data landscape into a unified, trusted source for AI and human analysis alike with Looker’s universal semantic modeling layer

Looker’s trusted modeling layer provides a single place to curate and govern the metrics most important to your business. This means that users will see consistent results regardless of where they are consumed. In order for you to use this consistent trustworthy information in your tools of choice, we have opened up the Looker modeling layer to our ecosystem and are actively engaged with our partners to ensure the information in your Looker platform doesn’t stay there. 


Bring your insights to life with out-of-the-box visual, real-time, and self-service analytics

Looker offers two ways to empower your users with self-service capabilities—Looker and Looker Studio.

Looker offers enterprise dashboards that are real-time, built on governed data, offers repeatable analysis, and inspires in-depth understanding of the data. Users can explore existing tiles, asking new questions, expanding filters, and drilling down to row level detail to fully understand the data behind a metric.

Looker Studio offers interactive, collaborative, and ad-hoc reports and dashboards, with access to over 800 data sources and connectors and a flexible drag-and-drop canvas. You have the option to perform ad-hoc analysis on both governed and unmodeled data. It's free, fast, and easy to start. 

Gemini in Looker: AI-powered analytics for self-service BI

An AI assistant that helps accelerate analytical workflows in Looker like the creation and configuration of visualizations, formula creation, data modeling, report creation, and more—all underpinned by both a robust semantic and Gemini foundational models. With Gemini foundational models, RAG, and more, you’ll see relentless focus on the quality outputs of the models and rapid innovation on a reimagined UX that is both collaborative and conversational for mass appeal.

Common Uses

Reduce cross-cloud spending

Looker for cloud cost management

Many large companies now use multiple cloud platforms (multicloud or hybrid cloud). This leads to complex billing from multiple providers, and current solutions often lack transparency or are too expensive. Companies need a cost-effective way to gain insights into their cross-cloud spending and optimize their costs.

With Looker, you get robust out-of-the-box reporting for your day-to-day needs and long-term optimization initiatives. Looker helps you easily identify the one-off high cost problems faster and slow burn global inefficiencies sooner.

      Analyze marketing data

      Looker for Google Marketing Platform

      Marketers need to analyze and activate their first-party data but lack a friendly, interactive UI from which to do it from. While this has always been a desire/need, the shifts in data regulations and browser privacy has made this a must-solve problem.

      Looker acts as a user interface for this solution. With out-of-the-box analytics (data exploration and dashboards), you can build custom segments from first party data. Looker also offers packaged activation paths to places like Google Analytics, so you can activate those segments.

          Create custom data and AI applications

          Looker for gen AI applications

          Companies are eager to increase data analytics adoption, but the technical learning curve hinders widespread use. While generative AI (gen AI) promises to transform data interaction, businesses struggle to get started and have concerns about the reliability of AI-generated results.

          Looker adds an API-first platform that is easy to create and customize data applications, a semantic layer to provide trusted metrics, an in-database architecture to optimize the performance and scalability of the cloud, and gen AI integration to provide a natural language interface into the application.
