Launch HN: ClearBrain (YC W18) – predictive models for app conversions and churn

  • Looks very interesting. We're looking for something like this. The website talks also about the "Facebook Aha moment"... So would you guys also be able to predict which action(s) we should push our users towards to convert better? and which action(s) are less important?

    Any plans to connect to Amplitude? and/or if we feed events directly to you via a JS API? (we don't use heap or segment, that's why I'm asking)

  • Bilal nice to meet you - have a high growth SAAS startup that this looks perfect for, what's the best way to get onboarded and give this a material try?

  • Are you concerned about the European Union’s new (General Data Protection Regulation)[https://syncedreview.com/2018/01/31/will-new-eu-regulations-...]?

  • How correlated is your models output with a simple measure of the volume of interactions a user has with an app?

    Main question...is this a domain where ML really adds a lot of value beyond the basic concept of High Interaction (lots of time spent and clicks/pages visited) -> High conversion Probability?

  • If you use Heap or Segment, using ClearBrain is a no brainer. Good job Bilal and team!

  • This is a great team and product!

  • Bilal,

    Hi and congrats on ClearBrain! Hope all is well, super excited to see where this goes.

  • Love what Bilal and the team at ClearBrain is working on. There's really no integration work if you already use Segment for analytics.

  • What kinds of ML models and algorithms are used? Can I train models based on my own data?

  • I think it was a great choice to choose Heap/Segment as data providers.

  • I've been using ClearBrain for a few months. It works. Give it a try.

  • How is this different than Custora (also YC alumn)?

  • I'm not really familiar with this space, but is there a non-enterprise option here? I would love to try something like this out but the price point is too high for me.
