We combined Looker’s analytical power with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI to create scheduled summaries of key findings, allowing faster, more informed decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Starting With a Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Devoteam, we’re passionate about helping clients embrace data-driven decision making. Tools like Looker have revolutionised how businesses access and explore their data, providing real-time dashboards and powerful data exploration tools. Even with amazing dashboards, a critical challenge remains: information overload. Imagine having to monitor dozens of dashboards daily. How do you efficiently pinpoint the insights that truly matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tackle this, we’ve developed a novel solution that combines Looker’s analytical power with the intelligence of Generative AI in Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. Our goal? To automate insight delivery and free users from the burden of manual analysis. Now, they can receive scheduled summaries of key findings, making data-driven decision making more efficient and impactful than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Together with the issues mentioned before, we found that deploying these tools was not a trivial task at all. Most data analysts will know how to work with SQL and Python, but now having to troubleshoot Vue and Javascript (which Looker makes use of for their extensions) will put analysts away from trying to touch these tools. If something breaks or needs to be customised according to your business needs, then it will require a lot of research beforehand if you do not have anyone on your team with the needed knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before building our solution, we explored existing tools for automating Looker dashboard summaries. Two options stood out but ultimately fell short of our needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
