Looker Clients Asking Gemini Instead of You? How to Stay Their First Call
Your Looker clients are asking Gemini first. Here is how to stay their first call, and earn on it for 3 years.
Your Looker clients are asking Gemini first, and the LookML changes that kept you busy are slowing. Stay their first call by bringing what Gemini can’t: answers tied to their books. Bring your Looker clients plain-English answers without another LookML model to maintain. SQOR.ai computes answers from the client’s data, matched to the books, and it is sold on Google Cloud Marketplace, so many of your clients can buy it against Google Cloud spend they have already committed.
What is changing
Looker answers from a LookML model that a developer writes and maintains, and a new question can mean a change to that model.
Clients on Google Cloud watch AI answer questions in seconds, and ask why their analytics still waits on a developer.
What to do next
- List the clients whose LookML you write and maintain, and the changes they ask for most.
- Show those questions answered in plain English with SQOR.ai, on their own data.
- For clients on Google Cloud, offer SQOR.ai through Google Cloud Marketplace, against the spend they have already committed.
- Stay in as the partner who leads it.
Where SQOR.ai fits with Looker
SQOR.ai connects read-only to the systems a company already runs and computes every measure itself, with no modeling layer for a person to maintain. It is autonomous business intelligence, and it fits clients who already run on Google Cloud.
