Bringing Conversational Analytics to Gemini with Agentic Data Cloud Connectors

Google, Thursday, November 5th, 2026

Google previewed Data Cloud connectors in Gemini for business that let users query live BigQuery, database and Looker data in plain language.

Data Cloud connectors in Gemini for business, now in preview, let business users and analysts query live enterprise data in natural language.

Users can pull data from BigQuery, operational databases including Spanner, AlloyDB and Cloud SQL, and governed Looker data, then move results into Google Docs, Gmail or Slides.

The connectors work with Knowledge Catalog to find the right data source, map everyday terms to database structures using metadata and business glossaries, and run permission-scoped queries under the user's identity.

Row- and column-level security and end-user credentials are enforced, and Conversational Analytics agents offer a second path for use-case-specific data agents.
