Do you need visual reports, or do you need actionable insights?

Crazy Egg and Hotjar both generate behavioral data — heatmaps, session recordings, event streams, and funnel reports. But both tools still require your team to decide what to investigate, manually review what they find, and form conclusions without automated support.

Lucky Orange Discovery AI is different. It's an AI-powered analytics assistant that automatically analyzes session data and answers natural-language questions about user behavior. Instead of reviewing recordings or scanning charts, your team can ask direct questions and receive structured explanations, supporting evidence from real sessions, and recommended next steps — without needing to know what to look for first.

Ask questions like:

  • What's preventing returning users from upgrading?

  • Which features do power users interact with that casual users skip?

  • Where in the onboarding flow do new users first show confusion?
