Turn Business Questions into Analytics Reports with Sidekick
Discover the Update: Real-World Impact in Plain English
Imagine a world where asking a business question like “What was the best converting traffic source in September?” instantly generates an analytics report tailored to answer that query. With Shopify’s new Sidekick feature, this is now a reality. Integrated directly into the analytics query editor, Sidekick utilizes natural language processing to transform your questions into actionable insights. For example, you want to know the success of your social media campaigns; simply ask, and Sidekick will provide you with comprehensive reports, all from your plain English request.
Let’s Talk on Tech Side
For those with a technical inclination, Shopify’s Sidekick is a game-changer in the analytics domain. It leverages sophisticated natural language processing to interpret your queries, converting them into ShopifyQL commands. This means while you can still code manually, beginners and non-technical users get a massive leg-up. If you’re curious about the underlying ShopifyQL query, Sidekick provides detailed definitions for enhanced understanding. Consider a query like this:
-- This is a ShopifyQL auto-generated query for traffic comparison
SELECT
traffic_source,
COUNT(new_customers) AS new_customers,
COUNT(repeat_customers) AS repeat_customers
FROM
traffic_analysis_dataset
WHERE
date_range = 'September 2023'
GROUP BY
traffic_source
ORDER BY
new_customers DESC;
The system generates such queries instantly, allowing you to refine insights further. The ability to ask follow-up questions that build on conversation history makes this tool invaluable for ongoing data exploration.
Business Growth Unleashed: What This Means for Merchants
For merchants, the integration of Sidekick into Shopify analytics translates into better decision-making and potent business growth opportunities. With just a natural language question, you can unlock comprehensive reports that previously required technical expertise to generate. This democratization of data analysis means that every decision-maker in your business can engage directly with analytics, paving the way for more responsive and informed strategies. As you analyze your ecommerce performance, find out which initiatives work and which areas require attention without spending valuable time on learning complex code. This new feature allows even the smallest businesses to operate with data-backed precision usually reserved for enterprise-level operations, leveling the playing field significantly.
