FAQs

Find answers to your questions about Otterly.AI and its powerful monitoring capabilities.

What is Agentic-Analytics by OtterlyAI?

Agentic Analytics is an analytics layer focused on AI-origin traffic. It detects AI bots and agents accessing your site and identifies human visitors who arrive after interacting with AI-powered search and assistants.

How is this different from classic web analytics?

Classic analytics tools were built to track human visitors from browsers and campaign links. Agentic-Analytics focuses on AI bots, AI agents, and AI-influenced visitors - traffic that usually shows up as “direct” or “unknown” in standard tools.

Can I use Agentic Analytics alongside my current analytics setup?

If you perform a manual search on e.g. ChatGPT or Perplexity.AI you might see a different result than those in OtterlyAI. The reason for that is that those AI Search platforms use a so-called Memory RAG where they store information on you, your search history. Other information - such as location - is also used to personalise the experience. OtterlyAI on the other hand, aims to provide the most neutral, objective monitoring available.

What do I need to implement it?

Implementation depends on your infrastructure, but typically involves a lightweight integration at the web server, edge, or application level so we can observe incoming requests and classify them.

Who is Agentic Analytics for?

It’s ideal for marketing and growth teams, analytics and data teams, and engineering or platform teams who want clarity on how AI bots, agents, and AI-assisted users interact with their sites.
