Requesting Metrics via AI

The AI assistant understands natural-language requests. To get an accurate answer, it's enough to clearly specify: what, from where, and for what period.

Basic formula

[metric] by [source] for [period] broken down by [entity]

Example requests

Simple requests

  • "How much did we spend on Meta Ads yesterday?"
  • "Show Google Ads spend for this week"
  • "How many impressions did TikTok get over the last 7 days?"

Requests with aggregation

  • "Show the top 5 campaigns by spend in Meta Ads this month"
  • "Average CTR across all Google Ads campaigns over the last 30 days"
  • "Total conversions across all sources this quarter"

Requests with a breakdown

  • "Spend by day for the last week in Meta Ads"
  • "Impressions and clicks by campaign in Google Ads yesterday"
  • "Cost per lead broken down by source this month"

Requests with filtering

  • "Campaigns with spend over $1,000 in the last week"
  • "Ad groups with CTR below 1% in Meta Ads over 7 days"
  • "Sources with ROAS above 2 over the last month"

AI clarifying questions

If the AI can't unambiguously interpret the request, it will ask a clarifying question:

  • "For which exact period?"
  • "Which data source should I use?"
  • "What breakdown should I use for the data?"

You can respond to the clarification, and the AI will continue.

Tips

  • Always specify a period — without one, the AI defaults to "the last 7 days"
  • If no source is specified, the AI will request data across all available sources
  • Metrics can be named either as they appear originally (spend, clicks) or in your own words
