According to @rseroter, Google Cloud’s BigQuery Conversational Analytics paired with the TimesFM foundation model can answer data questions with a single prompt, replacing workflows that previously required deep SQL and multiple tools (source: @rseroter). The capability enables zero-shot time series forecasting, requires no model building or cold start handling, and supports chat-driven data preparation and visualization for BigQuery users (source: @kweinmeister via Google Cloud Medium). For data teams, this lowers the barrier to forecasting and accelerates exploratory analytics directly within BigQuery’s environment (source: @rseroter; source: @kweinmeister via Google Cloud Medium).
