Short answer

How can I track stats using my AI?

Just tell your AI what you want to count. It uses natural language to create or increment named statistics on the fly. You get a running tally of your data without touching a database.

The results.

Where your data goes.

Your AI manages the conversation while StatHat stores the numbers.

AUTO-CREATE

Instant stat creation

The AI identifies the metric you mentioned. It uses post_ez_stat to set up a new named statistic immediately.

INCREMENT

Running tallies

When you report a new event, the AI adds it to the existing count. You'll see your totals climb as you chat.

QUERY

Data retrieval

Ask your AI for the current value of any metric. It pulls the latest number from StatHat so you can see progress.

HUMAN

Manual control

You decide when a metric is finished or needs a reset. The AI won't delete or wipe your history without you asking.

The workflow

What your AI does when a metric arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and your statistics.

  1. Interpret intent

    Your AI listens to your request and figures out if you want to start a new count or add to an old one.

    post_ez_stat

  2. Execute update

    The AI sends the command to update the specific named statistic you mentioned.

    post_ez_stat

  3. Confirm success

    The AI tells you the new total so you know the update worked.

    post_ez_stat

  4. Report status

    You can ask for a summary of all your active stats at any time.

    post_ez_stat
