Looker promised self-service. Your business teams still can't answer their own questions.
Looker is powerful BI, but it requires months of LookML modeling, business users still depend on analysts, and dashboards only answer pre-defined questions. Myriade delivers true self-service: any question, any time, trustworthy answers in natural language.
The LookML bottleneck
Looker's strength is also its weakness: LookML. Building a semantic layer takes months of engineering effort. Once built, it only answers pre-defined questions. Business users are locked into existing dashboards. When they need something new, they file a ticket and wait. That's not self-service, it's a well-organized dependency.
Months of LookML modeling: before Looker delivers value, someone has to build and maintain the semantic layer. That's months of engineering time upfront, plus ongoing maintenance.
Pre-defined questions only: dashboards answer questions you anticipated. The strategic ad-hoc question a VP asks on Friday afternoon? That's a ticket for next sprint.
Business users still depend on analysts: despite the 'self-service' promise, non-technical users can't explore beyond what's been pre-built. The data team remains the bottleneck.
Numbers that contradict: multiple Looks built by different analysts using different logic. Same metric, different numbers. Trust erodes.

Self-service that actually works for business teams
Business users ask questions in plain language and get trustworthy answers, no LookML knowledge, no SQL, no pre-built dashboards required. The kind of self-service Looker promised but couldn't deliver to non-technical users.
