Pro Tips

  • Format quantitative data: Present analytics metrics as tables or bullet points with numbers for easier analysis
  • Include baseline metrics: Mention baseline metrics (e.g., "Current conversion rate: 3.2%") so AI can suggest improvement targets
  • Specify user segments: Mention user segments (e.g., "New vs returning users") so AI can segment insights
  • Request prioritization: Ask "Prioritize design recommendations by impact and effort" for actionable insights
  • For funnel analysis: Include funnel step data (e.g., "Step 1: 1000, Step 2: 800, Step 3: 600") so AI can identify drop-off points
