How AI Fits Into Modern Attribution Reporting
E-commerce teams have more data than ever, more exports, and more conflicting numbers. Attribution platforms brought order to that chaos by aligning spend, traffic, and revenue under one consistent framework. Now AI takes the ease of attribution to the next level.

With ThoughtMetric connected directly to ChatGPT or Claude, attribution data becomes conversational.

Chat with your Data


Traditionally, analysis follows a path: log in, select a report, adjust filters, export data, format, and then interpret. With AI layered on top of attribution, that workflow can be performed in a single step.

You can ask, “What were total sales by channel last month?” or “What was our ROAS over the past 60 days?” and get an immediate answer. You can check Marketing Efficiency Ratio for the quarter, or see what percentage of orders were multi-touch.

If the answer exists within your ThoughtMetric attribution data, you can ask for it.




Not a Dashboard Replacement, but a Powerful Addition


AI does not replace dashboards. Dashboards are still essential for deep analysis, trend monitoring, reporting, and presentations. They provide visual context and allow teams to track performance in a consistent format.

What AI does exceptionally is answer quick questions on the go. It is ideal for quick performance checks before a meeting, answering a Slack message from a teammate, or exploring a new question without building a custom report. Instead of navigating through layers of filters, you simply ask. Dashboards remain your structured home base.
