Ask AI
Ask AI lets you query your analytics data in plain English. Instead of navigating panels and configuring filters, type a question and get an answer built from your actual traffic data. The AI uses 14 specialized tools to pull real numbers from your dashboard, analyze trends, and surface insights you might miss.
How to use it
Click the lightbulb icon in your dashboard header to open the Ask AI panel. Type a question or pick from one of the suggested prompts. The AI will analyze your data in real time and stream the response back to you.
Opening the panel
The AI panel appears as a dropdown overlay on desktop (500px wide) and full-screen on mobile. You can pin it open with the pin button so it stays visible while you browse the dashboard. Click outside the panel or press Esc to close it.
Asking questions
Type any question about your analytics data. The AI understands natural language, so you do not need special syntax. Some examples:
- "Which traffic sources have the highest engagement?"
- "Why did my traffic drop on Wednesday?"
- "Are my Google visitors converting?"
- "How much bot traffic am I getting?"
- "What should I focus on this week?"
Questions can reference specific time periods, traffic sources, pages, countries, or any other dimension. The AI automatically uses your current dashboard date range and any active filters as context.
Follow-up questions
The AI maintains conversation context, so you can ask follow-up questions without repeating yourself. For example, after asking about Google traffic, you can ask "What about LinkedIn?" and the AI understands the context.
The conversation history keeps the last 20 messages. Starting a new topic is fine at any point.

What the AI can access
The AI has 14 specialized tools that query your analytics data in real time. It does not use pre-computed summaries or cached results. Every answer is built from a live query against your actual data.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Traffic overview | High-level KPIs: visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, engagement, duration, conversions, conversion rate, views per visit |
| Traffic chart | Time-series data with configurable granularity (minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) |
| Sources | Traffic source breakdown: search engines, social, referral, direct |
| Pages | Page performance including all pages, entry pages, and exit pages |
| Countries | Geographic breakdown at country, region, or city level |
| Technology | Device, browser, OS, screen size breakdown |
| Campaigns | UTM campaign data: campaign name, source, medium, content, term |
| Channels | Traffic by channel: Direct, Organic Search, Paid Search, Social, Email, Referral, AI Search, and more |
| Goals | Goal and conversion performance with per-goal metrics and revenue |
| Custom events | Custom event tracking data with visitor counts and revenue |
| Behavioral events | Outbound link clicks, form submissions, file downloads |
| Bot stats | Bot detection results, AI crawler activity, zero-engagement session rates |
| Realtime | Current live visitor count and active visitor details |
| Annotations | Timeline notes (deploys, campaigns, milestones) for context on traffic changes |
The AI can call multiple tools in a single question. For example, asking "Which sources convert best and what pages do they land on?" will trigger both the sources and pages tools. You will see status indicators as each tool runs.
Context awareness
The AI automatically inherits context from your current dashboard state:
- Date range: Whatever period you have selected in the dashboard (e.g., "Last 30 days", "This month", a custom range)
- Timezone: Your configured timezone for accurate date comparisons
- Active filters: If you have any filters applied (source, country, device, etc.), the AI queries only that filtered segment
- Configured goals: The AI knows which goals you have set up and can report on them by name
This means you do not need to repeat your date range or filters in the question. Asking "How is my traffic?" while viewing "Last 7 days" filtered to "Country is Germany" will give you German traffic for the last 7 days.
Response formatting
The AI formats responses for quick scanning:
- Numbers include comma separators (e.g., 1,234)
- Percentages show one decimal place (e.g., 45.2%)
- Durations are shown as minutes and seconds (e.g., 3m 42s)
- Comparisons include direction indicators and percentage changes
- Page paths and sources are highlighted for easy identification
Responses also include links to relevant docs pages when the AI detects you are asking about a feature or concept that has its own documentation.
Rate limits
Each account can ask up to 50 questions per 24-hour rolling window. The remaining count is shown after each response. The limit resets on a rolling basis, not at midnight.
Follow-up questions in the same conversation each count as one question. The conversation history itself does not count against the limit.
Tips for better answers
- Be specific: "Which sources had the highest conversion rate last week?" works better than "Tell me about my sources"
- Use follow-ups: Start broad, then drill down. "How is my traffic?" followed by "Which source grew the most?" is effective
- Reference your goals: The AI knows your goal names. "How is the Newsletter Signup goal performing?" gives targeted answers
- Ask for comparisons: "How does this week compare to last week?" or "Which channel has the highest engagement vs bounce rate?"
- Ask for recommendations: "What should I focus on?" or "Where am I losing visitors?" triggers multi-tool analysis
