My AI Found the Leak in My Funnel — 1 New Customer in 5 Weeks

1 new customer in 5 weeks. That’s what my funnel audit found.

My homepage had a category page in the middle of the path to purchase. The idea: let visitors browse by topic. What actually happened: that’s where they stopped.

My AI traced the full purchase flow and cross-referenced the traffic data. What it flagged: 81% of my 246,000 monthly “visitors” are bots. Real humans—about 47,000—were hitting that category page and leaving.

Then I had a second model walk the path as a customer. It got stuck at the category page. Couldn’t find the purchase button.

If a frontier model couldn’t navigate my funnel, my customers definitely weren’t.

One conversation to diagnose. One session to fix it. All 12 category links now go straight to product pages.

OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI assistant that runs on your own server. It handles tasks like this — cross-referencing analytics, tracing user paths, flagging what you’ve stopped seeing — autonomously, on a $20/month Amazon server.

I teach a class on setting up and getting the most from OpenClaw — details at themeperks.com/openclaw-course/.
