13 Best AI Automation Tools to Increase Productivity & Efficiency



Managing reports in Looker Studio feels overwhelming when working with various data sources. To make this process more efficient, I leverage Looker Studio automation with LLMs (Large Language Models) to generate and update reports programmatically. 

Here’s how I set up the automation

a. Get the Looker Studio API Key:

  • Start by going to the Google Cloud Console.
  • Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner and select APIs & Services.
  • Navigate to Credentials and click Create Credentials, then choose API Key.
  • Click Create, and your API key will appear in a pop-up window. Copy and save this key securely.

b. Enter the code into your LLM:

Using your API key, connect the LLM with Looker Studio by inputting the appropriate code. This connection enables you to automate the report-building process, pulling data from various sources and compiling it into a structured format.

c. Copy Looker Data Studio templates programmatically:

With your template already set up, you can use the LLM to copy it into other projects programmatically. Here’s a snippet of the code used:
