# Looker Studio Connector
> Import your MentionPilot AI visibility data into Google Looker Studio and build custom dashboards and reports.
## What is the MentionPilot Looker Studio connector?
The MentionPilot Looker Studio community connector lets you import your AI search visibility data directly into [Google Looker Studio](https://lookerstudio.google.com/). You can then create custom dashboards and reports using your brand performance data from AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Looker Studio is Google's free data visualization tool that helps you turn your data into informative, easy-to-read, and shareable dashboards and reports.
### How this helps
* **Real-time data access** — Connect directly to your MentionPilot project for up-to-date visibility metrics.
* **Custom visualizations** — Create charts, graphs, and tables that match your reporting needs.
* **Team collaboration** — Share dashboards with stakeholders and team members.
