The Evolution of Looker in Google's Ecosystem

In this episode, Sean Zinsmeister from Google joins Mark Rittman to discuss the latest developments for Looker including the integration of Looker Studio, new modeling capabilities and the exciting potential of generative AI for BI.

We discuss how Looker is evolving to be a more open, composable platform that can power advanced analytics and data storytelling, with Sean sharing insights on Google's purpose-built Gemini models for natural language to SQL translation and how Looker customers can leverage these AI capabilities. 

We also explore Looker's agentic API strategy, the long-term vision of using Looker Studio as the primary Looker front-end and the opening up of LookML to tools beyond just Looker.
