Google is also integrating Gemini with Looker, its business intelligence tool. The private preview of Gemini in Looker will allow users to interact with their business data conversationally. Features include report, visualization and formula generation, and automated Google Slide presentation generation. The move could be seen as a response to Microsoft's Copilot in Azure SQL Database, which brought generative AI to its cloud database service.
Key takeaways:
- Google has announced the public preview of Gemini in Databases, a collection of AI-powered tools for Google Cloud customers to create, monitor, and migrate app databases.
- Gemini in Databases includes Database Studio, an editor for SQL, and AI-assisted migrations via Google’s existing Database Migration Service. It also includes a new Database Center where users can interact with databases using natural language.
- Google is also bringing Gemini to Looker, its business intelligence tool, allowing users to "chat with their business data" and generate reports and presentations.
- The launch of Gemini in Databases could be seen as a response to Microsoft's recent launch of Copilot in Azure SQL Database, which also uses generative AI for database management.
