How CrawlChat Uses Vemetric to Improve Onboarding and Product Decisions
"For CrawlChat I need clear attribution and product insights without added complexity, and Vemetric gives me exactly that."
Founder
CrawlChat is an AI support chatbot platform that helps teams turn their content into a helpful assistant for customers. Teams can connect websites, docs, PDFs, and even repositories, then deploy a chat experience that answers questions based on their own knowledge base.
What makes CrawlChat especially useful is how quickly teams can connect multiple knowledge sources, from websites and docs to PDFs and repositories, and turn them into a chatbot that gives competent answers. It also helps teams spot content gaps, because unanswered or weak responses reveal where documentation needs to be improved.
The Challenge: Understanding Adoption Without Adding Analytics Overhead
As CrawlChat grows, product decisions depend on understanding how people actually use the platform:
- Which acquisition channels bring in the most relevant users?
- Where do new users drop off during setup?
- Which sources (website crawl, docs, PDFs, repositories) are used most often?
- Which product pages and onboarding steps drive users toward successful chatbot launches?
For a lean team shipping quickly, the problem is not just collecting data, it is collecting the right data without introducing a heavy analytics setup that slows development down.
At the same time, analytics still needs to fit a privacy-conscious approach. For CrawlChat, that means using a solution that delivers actionable insights while staying aligned with privacy expectations and GDPR requirements.
The Solution: Lightweight Analytics That Fits a Fast-Moving Product
CrawlChat uses Vemetric to get fast feedback on product and website behavior without the complexity of traditional analytics tools.
The Vemetric Dashboard provides a clear overview of traffic, top pages, and top sources, making it easier to see which channels bring qualified visitors to the site.
For deeper product insights, Vemetric’s custom event tracking can be used to measure the actions that matter most during onboarding and setup, for example:
- creating a bot
- adding a first content source
- testing a chat response
- publishing or embedding the chatbot
Because event tracking is simple to implement, the team can instrument key steps quickly and iterate on the product without spending days on analytics maintenance.
“I need analytics that give me useful product insights without adding engineering overhead. Vemetric fits that well because I can track the events I care about and move on.”
The Impact: Better Onboarding Decisions, Faster
With Vemetric in place, CrawlChat can make product decisions based on real usage patterns instead of assumptions.
Using Funnels, the team can analyze where users drop off in the onboarding flow and identify which steps need better UX, clearer copy, or improved defaults. Even small improvements in these early steps can have an outsized effect on activation.
The team can also use filtering and segmentation to compare behavior across traffic sources, campaigns, or time periods, which helps answer practical questions like:
- Do users from technical channels behave differently than users from founder communities?
- Does traffic that lands on onboarding-focused pages convert differently from traffic that lands on feature pages?
- Which changes increase the share of users who complete setup?
This creates a tight feedback loop for a fast-moving product: ship a change, measure the result, and improve the next iteration.
Why the Fit Makes Sense for CrawlChat
CrawlChat is built and shipped by a small team that moves fast, so tooling decisions need to stay practical. Vemetric works well here because it covers both web analytics (especially attribution) and product analytics without introducing the complexity of heavier platforms.
Privacy and GDPR considerations are also important when choosing an analytics solution. That makes Vemetric a strong fit: CrawlChat gets the insights needed to improve onboarding and activation while using an analytics setup that aligns with those requirements.
“Attribution, funnels, and event tracking are all important for us, but I also want an analytics setup that respects privacy expectations. Vemetric gives me that balance.”
Looking Ahead: Measuring Feature Adoption Across the Product
As CrawlChat continues to grow, the next opportunity is expanding tracking beyond onboarding into long-term feature adoption and retention.
This includes understanding which knowledge-source types users rely on most, which setup paths lead to better chatbot outcomes, and where users repeatedly run into unanswered questions that point to documentation gaps. With that data, the team can improve onboarding, documentation, and in-product guidance in a way that strengthens both product quality and activation.
With a fast shipping cadence and a clear feedback loop from attribution and product analytics, CrawlChat is well positioned to keep improving the user experience with data that stays practical and actionable.
