Your agent handles the technical updates for your analytics setup.

INVENTORY

Site visibility

Your AI pulls a list of your active sites. You'll know exactly what you're currently tracking.

SETUP

New site creation

The AI registers new sites for you. It handles the backend setup so you don't have to.
