Explaining Changes via AI ​

The AI assistant analyzes changes in metrics and suggests possible causes — from technical failures to changes in campaigns.

How diagnostics work ​

  1. The AI retrieves data for the current and previous periods
  2. It calculates the delta and determines whether the change is anomalous
  3. It analyzes possible factors: campaign changes, seasonality, technical issues
  4. It provides an explanation with potential causes and recommendations

Typical diagnostic questions ​

Metric drops ​

  • "Why did conversions drop this week?"
  • "Why did CTR decline in Meta Ads over the last 3 days?"
  • "What happened to spend in Google Ads — did it drop sharply?"

Metric growth ​

  • "Why did cost per lead increase in Google Ads?"
  • "What caused the sharp rise in impressions on TikTok?"
  • "Why did CPA increase by 40% over the last week?"

Finding the worst/best performers ​

  • "Which campaign has the worst CTR over the last 7 days?"
  • "Which source has the highest cost per click?"
  • "Where is the lowest ROAS across all channels?"

What the AI analyzes ​

FactorWhat's checked
Budget changesA sharp increase/decrease in a campaign's daily budget
SeasonalityComparison with the same period last year
CompetitionRising CPM/CPC as a sign of increased auction pressure
Technical failuresAPI errors, tracking outages, pixel issues
Creative changesAd creatives going stale or being updated
Campaign statusPaused, ended, or rejected by moderation

Diagnostic limitations ​

  • The AI only sees data available through the API — it doesn't analyze creatives visually
  • Diagnostics work best on periods of 3 days or more
  • Accurate diagnosis of attribution changes requires a configured attribution model
  • The AI suggests probable causes, not guaranteed ones — the final call is yours
