General Questions

MadFish AI is an enterprise-grade chat and business intelligence platform specifically designed for e-commerce companies. Our platform uses advanced AI to analyze your e-commerce data across sales, customers, products, promotions, email campaigns, SEO, and more to provide exceptional insights and intelligence.

The system features a conversational AI interface that has been trained and fine-tuned with your business data, allowing users to ask complex questions and receive accurate, contextual responses. Additionally, our proactive insight engine automatically identifies opportunities, risks, and trends without requiring human queries.

The platform is built on AWS infrastructure for security, scalability, and reliability, with a proprietary multi-model architecture that selects the optimal AI model for each query type.

MadFish AI differs from traditional analytics tools in several key ways:

  • Natural Language Interface: Instead of navigating complex dashboards, users can simply ask questions in plain English and receive accurate answers.
  • Comprehensive Data Integration: We connect and unify data from all your e-commerce systems into a single knowledge graph, providing a complete view of your business.
  • Proactive Intelligence: Unlike reactive dashboards, our system proactively identifies opportunities, risks, and trends without requiring human queries.
  • Multi-Model AI Architecture: Our proprietary technology uses multiple specialized AI models to optimize responses based on query type.
  • Contextual Understanding: The system understands the relationships between different data points, allowing for more sophisticated analysis than simple metrics reporting.
  • Continuous Learning: The platform gets smarter over time as it learns from your data patterns and user interactions.

While traditional analytics tools tell you what happened, MadFish AI tells you why it happened, what's likely to happen next, and what you should do about it.

MadFish AI is designed for mid-market to enterprise e-commerce businesses across various industries. Our platform is particularly valuable for:

  • Multi-channel retailers with e-commerce revenue exceeding $5 million annually
  • Direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands looking to optimize their customer acquisition and retention strategies
  • Omnichannel businesses seeking to unify their online and offline data for comprehensive insights
  • E-commerce businesses with complex product catalogs, multiple customer segments, or sophisticated marketing programs
  • High-growth e-commerce companies that need scalable analytics as they expand

Our clients span various verticals including fashion & apparel, beauty & cosmetics, electronics, home goods, food & beverage, and luxury retail. The platform is valuable for any e-commerce operation seeking to transform their data into actionable intelligence that drives growth and profitability.

Most of our clients begin seeing measurable ROI within 60-90 days of implementation. The exact timeline depends on several factors:

  • Implementation Speed: Standard implementations take 2-4 weeks, while more complex enterprise deployments may take 4-8 weeks.
  • Data Quality & Availability: Businesses with clean, accessible data can see faster results than those requiring significant data preparation.
  • Use Case Prioritization: Our team works with you to identify and prioritize high-impact use cases that can deliver quick wins.
  • User Adoption: Companies that ensure strong user adoption across teams typically see faster ROI.

Our clients report several early ROI indicators:

  • Immediate time savings for data analysis and reporting (typically 5-10 hours per week per analyst)
  • Quick identification of revenue opportunities through customer segment analysis (usually within 30 days)
  • Rapid optimization of marketing spend based on attribution insights (typically 45-60 days)
  • Early detection of inventory issues before they impact sales (usually within 30 days)

On average, our enterprise clients achieve full payback within 4-6 months and report a 5.7x ROI within the first year.

Platform & Features

MadFish AI integrates with a wide range of e-commerce platforms, marketing tools, and business systems. Our platform supports over 50 pre-built integrations, including:

For enterprise clients, we also support custom integrations with proprietary systems and data sources. Our platform features a flexible data pipeline that can accommodate virtually any structured data source.

The AI chat functionality in MadFish AI is powered by our proprietary multi-model architecture that has been specifically designed for e-commerce analytics. Here's how it works:

  1. Data Integration & Knowledge Graph: First, we ingest and process data from all your connected systems, transforming it into a unified knowledge graph that represents the relationships between different entities in your business (products, customers, orders, campaigns, etc.).
  2. Query Understanding: When a user asks a question, our natural language processing system analyzes the query to understand intent, entities, and required data sources.
  3. Model Selection: Our orchestration layer determines which specialized AI model is best suited to answer the specific query type. For example:
    • Pattern recognition queries are routed to models optimized for analytical thinking
    • Explanatory queries go to models trained for clear communication
    • Predictive questions are handled by forecasting-specialized models
  4. Data Retrieval & Analysis: The system then retrieves the relevant data from your knowledge graph and performs the necessary analysis to answer the question.
  5. Response Generation: Finally, the system generates a natural language response that directly answers the query, often accompanied by supporting visualizations or data tables when appropriate.

The AI maintains conversation context, allowing for follow-up questions and clarifications. For example, after asking about "top-selling products last month," you could simply ask "what about the month before?" and the system understands the reference.

Over time, the system learns from interactions to better understand common questions within your organization and improves its ability to provide relevant, actionable insights.

How We Measure Uptime

Our uptime metrics are calculated based on:

  • Service Availability: The ability to access the platform and perform core functions
  • Measurement Period: Calendar month, measured 24/7/365
  • Monitoring System: Independent third-party monitoring from multiple global locations
  • Transparency: Real-time status dashboard at status.madfish.ai

Exclusions from SLA Calculations

The following are not counted against our uptime guarantees:

  • Scheduled maintenance windows (announced at least 48 hours in advance)
  • Emergency security patches (limited to critical vulnerabilities)
  • Issues with third-party services or APIs outside our control
  • Network issues between your location and our servers
  • Force majeure events

Our High-Availability Architecture

To maintain our uptime guarantees, we've implemented:

  • Multi-Region Redundancy: Active-active deployment across multiple AWS regions
  • Automated Failover: Instant switching to backup systems
  • Load Balancing: Distributed traffic across multiple servers
  • Auto-Scaling: Dynamic resource allocation based on demand
  • Continuous Monitoring: 24/7 monitoring with automated alerts

Maintenance Windows

To minimize disruption, our standard maintenance windows are:

  • Primary: Sundays, 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM ET
  • Secondary: Wednesdays, 11:00 PM - 2:00 AM ET

Most maintenance is performed with zero downtime using rolling updates across our infrastructure. For Enterprise and Custom plans, we can schedule maintenance during your specific low-usage periods.

Incident Communication

In the event of an outage or performance issue:

  • Initial notification within 15 minutes of confirmed incident
  • Status updates at least every 30 minutes during the incident
  • Detailed post-incident report within 48 hours
  • Notification via email, SMS, and status page

Complete SLA terms are provided in your service agreement. For specific questions about our uptime guarantees, please contact your account representative.
