How to generate traffic reports with your AI

Connect Matomo to your AI client once. After that, you just ask for the data you need in plain English.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I get traffic reports from Matomo using AI?

You ask your AI for specific metrics, and it pulls the data to build PNG graphs or written summaries. You'll get visual charts and text breakdowns of your site traffic.

The results you get

What your AI delivers

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval and formatting.

VISUAL

PNG graph files

The AI turns your numbers into image files. You can grab these charts and drop them straight into your presentations.

TEXT

Written summaries

Instead of digging through tables, you get a clear explanation of your traffic trends in plain language.

DATA

Specific metric pulls

Your AI fetches exact numbers like page views or visitor counts from your Matomo instance on command.

HUMAN

Strategic direction

The AI provides the data and the visuals, but you're the one who decides what the numbers mean for your strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your questions and your Matomo data.
