InsightFlow AI — Self-Hosted Analytics with AI That Tells You What the Data Means

Description and use

InsightFlow is a self‑hosted analytics platform that tracks events and provides AI‑generated insights, keeping user data on your own infrastructure.

Problem

Developers needed a privacy‑preserving analytics solution for a side project without paying for cloud services.

Outcome

InsightFlow provides comprehensive analytics while keeping user data on the developer’s own infrastructure, and its AI layer automatically interprets data to surface actionable insights and detect anomalies.

Workflow

• Deploy InsightFlow on a private server (Python/FastAPI backend, React frontend).
• Add the single JavaScript snippet to the website to start event tracking.
• Configure event types (pageviews, clicks, form submissions, custom events).
• Use the UI to view user analytics, funnels, retention tables, and heatmaps.
• Enable AI Insights to run daily and review generated observations and recommendations.
• Monitor anomaly detection alerts for unusual metric patterns.

Evidence
