Statsbot

Statsbot was a business intelligence company founded in 2016 by Artyom Keydunov, who later founded Cube.js. The firm developed a platform designed to provide data analytics to a broad range of business users, from C-level executives to marketers and developers, through a natural language interface. Operating from San Francisco, Statsbot positioned itself as an intelligent assistant that could integrate directly into workplace communication tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams.

The company's core business revolved around a subscription-based model, offering various pricing tiers for its services. This model provided users with a fully functional premium bot during a trial period, after which they could subscribe to continue using the service. Statsbot's platform connected with numerous data sources, including Google Analytics, Salesforce, Mixpanel, and SQL databases, allowing it to retrieve and process information from systems that clients already used. The service aimed to democratize data analysis by enabling non-technical staff to query complex data and generate reports without needing a data analyst's assistance.

The product offered a suite of features centered on accessibility and automation. Its dashboard provided a centralized, always up-to-date view of key metrics. Users could schedule regular reports, which was particularly useful for team members without a technical background. A key feature was the 'Smart Alerts' system, which automatically notified users of significant changes or anomalies in their data, such as sudden spikes or drops in user activity. For more in-depth analysis, the 'Insights' feature allowed for the creation of custom reports and data visualization to identify factors impacting revenue and engagement. The platform was built to handle large datasets efficiently by using a pre-aggregation layer to make data queries more cost-effective. After a period of operation and securing approximately $1.92 million in funding over three rounds from investors like Innovation Endeavors, 500 Global, and Eniac Ventures, Statsbot was reportedly acquired by Google on April 1, 2016, although other sources place the latest funding round in January 2017.
