A focused GA alternative

Analytics built around the AI traffic question.

Chad is for teams that want AI referrals and crawler activity to be first-class reports, delivered conversationally instead of assembled in a general-purpose dashboard.

Short answer

Chad is a focused alternative—not a feature-for-feature replacement for every Google Analytics use case. It emphasizes AI referrals, AI crawler requests, Slack and Teams reporting, goals, funnels, revenue attribution, and read-only agent access.

Where Chad is deliberately different

Chad keeps its scope focused. If your organization depends on a broad ad-tech ecosystem, complex enterprise attribution, or every GA-specific integration, evaluate those requirements directly.

  • Known AI referrals are classified in the core report.
  • Known crawler requests are collected separately at the server.
  • Reports arrive in Slack or Teams.
  • Supported analytics are queryable from coding agents through read-only MCP.
  • The browser tracker does not set cookies.

Cookieless does not mean data-free

Chad's browser tracker uses first-party random identifiers in localStorage for anonymous visitor and rolling session continuity. It does not set cookies or retain raw IP addresses and raw user-agent strings in analytics events. Review the privacy policy for the full data description.

Compare the workflows, not just the checkboxes

The practical difference is where analysis begins: Chad starts with a scheduled answer and lets the team ask a follow-up. A general analytics suite starts with a dashboard and expects the user to construct the view.
