Looker Conversational Analytics — high latency

Looker Q&A Looker
1

We’ve been using Looker’s Conversational Analytics API (via the agent API endpoints) with Thinking Mode enabled and are seeing consistently high response times — even for straightforward, unambiguous questions.

The concern is that a simple question which maps to a single metric in a single explore with no ambiguity still takes ~40 seconds. The user experience expectation for such a direct question would be under 10 seconds.

@marout Would you be able to direct this to the right POC?

Exactly the same issue here (although we are using data agents via the Looker UI, not API endpoints). I have taken >30 seconds as my benchmark for what constitutes a ‘slow’ response - 54% of all responses take >30 seconds. 15% take more than 70 seconds.
