Traditional business intelligence alerts can only tell you that a metric changed, leaving data analysts to manually hunt through dashboards to figure out why. Today, we are introducing Looker Agentic Workflows in preview, a new capability in Looker that automates both metric monitoring and root-cause analysis, using intelligent background agents.
With Conversational Analytics in Looker, teams can already query business data using natural language. Looker Agentic Workflows turns those ad-hoc questions into continuous, automated monitoring routines directly from the chat interface. You can set up an automation simply by prompting the agent, such as asking to “Monitor return rates weekly” or “Notify me if average order value exceeds $1,000.” The agent interprets your intent, confirms specific threshold conditions, and generates a workflow configuration plan for you to review before launching the monitor.
