Connect Google Analytics to your AI client once. After that, you just ask questions to see what's happening on your site right now.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see live site traffic using my AI?

Your AI uses the Google Analytics Connector to run real-time reports based on your questions. You get immediate visibility into active users and their sources. This breakdown shows how it works.

The outcomes

What you get from your queries

The AI turns your questions into live data snapshots.

LIVE DATA

Instant traffic snapshots

The AI pulls current user counts and session data. You see what is happening on your site this second.

SOURCES

Identify traffic origins

Ask where your current visitors are coming from. The AI identifies specific referral paths and campaign sources.

TRENDS

Spot sudden shifts

The AI detects spikes in activity. You can ask why traffic is surging or dropping in real time.

HUMAN

Manual dashboard deep-dives

The AI provides the data, but you decide if you need to jump into the full Google Analytics interface for complex segmentation.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about traffic.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your live analytics data.

  1. Interpret your question

    Your AI analyzes your natural language request to figure out which specific metrics you are looking for.

  3. Filter and aggregate

    The AI organizes the raw numbers into a readable format, like grouping users by country or device.
