Marketing analytics blueprint

Build your own Google Analytics alternative with your AI agent

Web, product and marketing analytics as one data chain you own: your own tracker, sessions, an identity graph, ad costs stitched to visits, declared conversions and attribution. It is built to replace Google Analytics and the attribution reports inside ad platforms.

Give this to your agent

Paste one prompt. Your agent builds your version.

Paste it into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent reads the blueprint, asks how your company works and shows you a one-page plan. Once you approve it, the agent builds your version on SegmentStream, turns every invariant into a test and deploys when you say so.

What you get

What your agent builds

Your own tracker, sessions, identity graph, ad costs, conversions and attribution in a warehouse you own, with reports on people, channels, spend and the AI agents that read your site.

What it is not

  • Not a tag manager or an audience tool: it does not fire third-party pixels, build remarketing audiences or send conversions back to ad platforms by default.
  • Not real time: reports are rebuilt on a schedule, by default once a day after the ad platforms settle the previous day’s costs.
  • Advanced attribution models, budget and portfolio optimization, and incrementality experiments are not part of this blueprint; SegmentStream offers them as a service.
  • Not legal advice. Tracking, cookies and identity matching are regulated (GDPR, ePrivacy and others); your version follows the consent rules you choose, so check them with whoever advises you on privacy.
What it does
  • Every page view and conversion lands in your own warehouse, collected by your own first-party tracker on the browser and the server, with no third-party tag.
  • Channel reports you can explain row by row: each session’s source, medium and campaign follow written rules, and each conversion shows the visits it was credited to.
  • Spend, clicks, CPC, CTR, CPA and ROAS per platform, campaign and channel, from Google Ads and Meta costs joined to the sessions they paid for.
  • First-click and last-click attribution computed side by side, over one identity graph that links a person’s browsers when they sign in or leave an email.
  • A report of which AI assistants, AI crawlers and search bots read which pages, kept apart from human traffic so bots never inflate your numbers.
  • Data-quality pages that show tracking gaps, unmatched paid traffic and identity conflicts before they turn into wrong decisions.
  • A parity kit for the weeks you run your previous tool side by side, so every difference is measured and explained rather than argued about.
  • Answers from the workspace agent, such as “what did paid social cost per lead last month under last click?”, computed from the same metrics as the reports.
What the platform runs for you

The hard parts are already running.

Your agent writes only the business logic. SegmentStream runs the infrastructure under it, so nobody on your team builds or operates it.

  • Real-time event collection: one endpoint, served by the nearest healthy collector in the US or EU, streams page views and server request evidence from the first-party tracker into warehouse tables in your region, with no ingestion job and no third-party tag.
  • A warehouse in your region where events, ad costs and your CRM records meet without exports.
  • Connections to Google Ads and Meta Ads with OAuth; credentials stay in SegmentStream, and cost ingestion runs through them.
  • Managed pipelines for sessions, the identity graph, cost stitching and attribution: daily partitions, backfills when a rule changes, retries, checks and lineage.
  • A metrics layer, so reports, the API and the company agent answer from the same definitions.
