How to calculate conversion funnels and retention with your AI

Connect Sensors Data to your AI client once. From there, you just ask questions to get behavioral metrics from your event streams.

Short answer

How do I calculate conversion funnels and retention with my AI?

Your AI uses the Sensors Data MCP to query event logs and calculate drop-off points or retention cohorts. You get direct answers to behavioral questions without writing SQL. This breakdown shows how the data moves from your events to your chat window.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your raw event streams into these four specific results.

FUNNEL

Drop-off analysis

The AI identifies which step in a user journey causes the most friction. You get a clear view of where users stop converting.

RETENTION

Cohort tracking

Your agent calculates how many users return over specific time intervals. This reveals how well you keep your audience engaged.

EVENTS

Event inspection

The AI looks at individual event properties to explain why certain behaviors happen. This provides the context behind the high-level metrics.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI provides the numbers, but you decide what product changes to make. You take the calculated metrics and turn them into your next roadmap item.

The workflow

What your AI does when the question arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your natural language and your event database.

  1. Identify the goal

    Your agent parses your question to determine if you are looking for a conversion path or a retention rate.

    analyze_funnel

  2. Query the stream

    The AI pulls the necessary event sequences and timestamps from your data to build the requested metric.

    analyze_events

  3. Calculate drop-off

    The agent compares the volume of users at each stage of the sequence to find the leaks.

    analyze_funnel

  4. Measure return rates

    The AI groups users by their first interaction and tracks their activity across subsequent periods.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my event data?

    No. The AI can only read and analyze your event data to generate metrics. It cannot modify, delete, or add new events to your stream.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new dashboards in my analytics tool?

    No. The AI provides the answers and data directly in your chat interface. It does not have the ability to build UI elements or dashboards in external software.

  • 03

    Do I need to write SQL to get these metrics?

    No. You just ask questions in plain English, and the AI handles the data querying for you.

  • 04

    Can it calculate retention for any custom event?

    Yes, as long as the event exists in your Sensors Data stream, the AI can use it to calculate retention or funnels.

  • 05

    Does the AI see my raw user PII?

    The AI only accesses the event properties required to answer your specific question. It does not scrape your entire database.
