Available features in Data Studio

When Gemini in Data Studio is enabled for a Data Studio Pro subscription, users under that subscription can perform the following tasks:

  • Create calculated fields by using natural language [Preview]: Gemini in Data Studio lets you create calculated fields in Data Studio by prompting you to describe the kinds of fields that you'd like to create. Based on your input, Gemini suggests a formula for a calculated field by using fields from your data source along with Data Studio functions and operators.

  • Add Data Studio content to your Slides presentation [Preview]: Gemini in Data Studio lets you import components from your Data Studio Pro reports into your Slides presentations. Gemini inserts report charts as images, generates a textual summary of each image, and inserts the summary as a text element. You can generate a new Slides presentation by using all or selected visualizations in a Data Studio report, or you can add or update Data Studio content to an existing Slides presentation. You can also update the Data Studio data that has been imported in a Slides presentation.

Conversational Analytics is a chat with your data feature powered by Gemini for Google Cloud that doesn't require Gemini in Data Studio to be enabled. For more information about Conversational Analytics in Data Studio, see the Conversational Analytics overview documentation page.
