BigQuery Canvas​

BigQuery Studio data canvas, which is a Gemini in BigQuery feature, lets you find, transform, query, and visualize data by using natural language prompts and a graphic interface for analysis workflows.

For analysis workflows, BigQuery data canvas uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG), which provides a graphical view of your workflow. In BigQuery data canvas, you can iterate on query results and work with multiple branches of inquiry in a single place.

BigQuery data canvas is designed to accelerate analytics tasks and help data professionals such as data analysts, data engineers, and others with their data-to-insights journey. It doesn't require that you have technical knowledge of specific tools, only basic familiarity with reading and writing SQL. BigQuery data canvas works with Dataplex metadata to identify appropriate tables based on natural language.

BigQuery data canvas isn't intended for direct use by business users.

BigQuery data canvas uses Gemini in BigQuery to find your data, create SQL, generate charts, and create data summaries.

DataPlex​

Dataplex is an intelligent data fabric that unifies distributed data and automates data management and governance. Through Dataplex, you can use AI to ease data queries, quality assurance, and business insights.

Dataplex performs governance at scale. Take, for example, a global retail company generating large amounts of sales, inventory, and customer data stored in Cloud Storage, Spanner, and Pub/Sub. With data distributed across systems, managing governance, ensuring quality, and maintaining compliance is complex and time-consuming. Dataplex simplifies this process by providing a central view to discover, profile, validate, track the lineage of, and control access to organizational data assets.
