About askbowtie
askbowtie is an agent-native site observability tool that transforms raw site data into actionable, conversational insights for AI agents. By installing a single lightweight tracker and connecting Google sources like Search Console and Ads, the tool unifies analytics, errors, conversions, search performance, and uptime into one per-site data layer. This allows users to ask plain-language questions within MCP-compatible AI agents—such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex—and receive cited, data-backed answers about site health, performance trends, and conversion drivers. The system eliminates the need to stitch together multiple dashboards, enabling developers and site owners to troubleshoot issues, identify optimization opportunities, and receive automated digests without manual reporting. While the dashboard is optional, the core functionality centers on agent-driven analysis, where questions like ‘What broke today?’ or ‘Which keywords actually pay?’ yield precise, actionable responses backed by real site data. The tool is designed for teams seeking to leverage existing AI workflows for site monitoring and decision-making, prioritizing simplicity and depth in equal measure.
