# Analytics

Ask analytics questions in plain English, get charts and dashboards back. The agent picks the right data source, writes and validates the query, and renders the answer as a chart, table, or saved dashboard panel. Analytics also covers uptime monitoring, error tracking, and session replay — the surfaces a team would otherwise split across three or four separate tools.

It's an open-source replacement for Amplitude, Mixpanel, and Looker — for teams that want to own the code, the queries, and the data.

## What you can do with it

- **Ask data questions in plain English.** "What percent of signups last month converted to paid?" or "Show me weekly active users for the past 6 months." The agent picks the right source, writes the SQL, and renders the chart.
- **Build reusable dashboards** — either SQL dashboards the agent writes, or point-and-click Explorer dashboards over your BigQuery schema — with filters, saved views, and sections.
- **Run ad-hoc analyses** that cross-reference multiple data sources — saved as re-runnable investigations with the original question, instructions, and findings.
- **Maintain a living data dictionary** of metrics, tables, and SQL recipes so the agent uses the right column names every time (no more guessed `is_closed` when it's actually `hs_is_closed`).
- **Watch uptime and triage errors.** Add an HTTP uptime check with alerting, publish a public status page, and triage browser exceptions grouped into issues — see [Monitoring, Errors, and Session Replay](/docs/template-analytics-monitoring-and-sessions).
- **Watch a real session play back.** Every recorded session captures the page, console, and network activity, replayable frame by frame with a Chrome-style Dev Tools panel.
- **Share dashboards** with your team — private by default, shareable per-user or per-org with viewer / editor / admin roles.
- **Connect your stack.** BigQuery, GA4, Amplitude, Mixpanel, PostHog, HubSpot, Stripe, Slack, Prometheus, Grafana, and a dozen more — see the full catalog in [Connecting and Extending Data Sources](/docs/template-analytics-connectors).

## Getting started

Live demo: [analytics.agent-native.com](https://analytics.agent-native.com).

When you first open the app:

1. Sign in with Google. A demo dashboard installs automatically so there's something to look at right away.
2. Open the **Data Sources** page from the sidebar.
3. Each source has a walkthrough — connect the ones you need (start with one, like BigQuery, GA4, Amplitude, or first-party tracking).
4. Open a new chat with the agent and ask a question: "How many signups did we get last week?"

The first question is enough to confirm the connection works. From there, ask the agent to "save this as a dashboard" or "build a 4-panel overview dashboard for our key metrics."

### Useful prompts

- "Build a dashboard showing weekly active users for the past 6 months."
- "What percent of signups last month converted to paid?"
- "Add a chart comparing revenue by plan to this dashboard."
- "Reorder the panels on this dashboard so the MRR metric comes first."
- "Analyze our closed-lost deals from Q1 and save the analysis."
- "Document this metric in the data dictionary."
- "Add an uptime check for our production API and alert Slack if it goes down."
- "Show me today's open error issues, worst first."

The agent always knows what you're looking at — current dashboard, filters, view — so you can say "this dashboard" or "that panel" without being explicit.

## Surfaces at a glance

Analytics is more than dashboards and the dictionary — here's everywhere you'll spend time:

- **[Dashboards, analyses, and the data dictionary](/docs/template-analytics-dashboards)** — reusable SQL/Explorer dashboards, one-off investigations, the shared metric vocabulary, plus scheduled email reports and alert rules.
- **[Monitoring, errors, and session replay](/docs/template-analytics-monitoring-and-sessions)** — uptime checks with a public status page, Sentry-style error triage, full session recordings with a Dev Tools panel, and traffic/SEO reporting.
- **[Data sources](/docs/template-analytics-connectors)** — every connected provider, reusable workspace integrations, and the escape hatches for anything a canned action doesn't cover.
- **Admin home (`/agents`)** — a fleet feature-flag control plane, a dashboard usage audit, and connected-app database admin for organization owners — see [Extending Analytics](/docs/template-analytics-developers).

## For developers

Create an Analytics app from the template via the CLI:

```bash
npx @agent-native/core@latest create my-analytics --standalone --template analytics
```

See [Getting Started](/docs/getting-started) for the rest of the setup (installing dependencies, running the dev server, environment variables), and [Extending Analytics](/docs/template-analytics-developers) for the data model, action reference, and customization points.
