What is an AI intelligence layer?
An AI intelligence layer is a system that connects to your business tools, learns patterns in your data, and automatically provides insights and recommendations — replacing the need for manual dashboard analysis.
Definition
An AI intelligence layer is a software system that sits on top of your business data and uses artificial intelligence to provide automated insights, analysis, and recommendations.
How It Works
1. **Connects to your tools**: Integrates with your payment processor, analytics, CRM, and other business systems
2. **Learns patterns**: Uses AI to identify patterns in your revenue, customer behavior, and business metrics
3. **Identifies changes**: Automatically detects when metrics change significantly
4. **Explains why**: Provides root cause analysis for metric changes
5. **Recommends actions**: Suggests specific next steps based on the data
