Looker lets you describe their data using a modeling language called LookML.
LookML tells Looker how to query data, so everyone in the organization can create easy-to-read reports and dashboards to explore patterns of data. Looker offers additional features for creating custom data applications and experiences.

Looker is a data aggregation and dashboard tool. It was built from the ground up to integrate a variety of data sources and allow for the flexibility to aggregate and transform data with LookML.
Looker also allows you to send data to other platforms through an Application Programming Interface (API) and develop separate data services and products, proving there is much more you can do with the platform than just develop dashboards.
