The Oncrawl AI Assistant helps you work with your Oncrawl data using natural language.
You can use it to ask questions about your projects, crawls, crawl configurations, and datasets. You can also use it to run supported actions, such as launching a crawl or exporting data, depending on your Oncrawl permissions.
Beta availability
The Oncrawl AI Assistant is currently available in open Beta for all users.
During the Beta, all users can access and test the AI Assistant from the Oncrawl app.
Access conditions may change at the end of the Beta period. Some users, plans, or permissions may be restricted after the Beta.
How to access the AI Assistant
To open the AI Assistant:
Log in to your Oncrawl account.
Click the Ask AI button in the Oncrawl app.
Start asking questions or giving instructions.
The AI Assistant opens in a new tab in your browser.
Permissions and access
The AI Assistant uses your Oncrawl user account.
This means it has the same scope of access as your user account, including:
the same workspaces
the same projects
the same crawls
the same crawl configurations
the same read and write permissions
If you can access or perform an action in Oncrawl, the AI Assistant can access or perform it too.
If you do not have permission to access a project, read a crawl, or perform a specific action, the AI Assistant will not be able to do it either.
What can the AI Assistant do?
You can use the AI Assistant to analyze data, investigate SEO issues, and perform actions in Oncrawl.
Depending on your permissions, the AI Assistant can help you:
analyze crawl data
identify technical SEO issues
prioritize issues based on affected URLs
export data from the Data Explorer
launch crawls
create, modify, or delete projects
create, modify, or delete crawl configurations
create, modify, or delete scraping rules, also known as custom fields
Available actions depend on your user permissions.
Some actions, such as deleting projects or crawl configurations, may have a significant impact. Always review the AI Assistant’s response before confirming or relying on an action.
Features not available yet
The AI Assistant does not currently support all Oncrawl features.
At this stage, it cannot:
create/modify segmentations
create/modify custom charts and dashboards
create/modify users
These capabilities may be added later.
Set the right context
One of the key features of the AI Assistant is the ability to set context.
Setting context helps the AI Assistant understand which Oncrawl data it should use when answering your questions or performing actions.
To set context, click the Set context button.
This opens a window selector where you can choose the relevant:
workspace
project
crawl configuration
crawl
You do not have to select all of them. However, we recommend selecting at least the project so the AI Assistant knows which Oncrawl project to use.
For example, if you select a project and a crawl, the AI Assistant will use this context when you ask questions such as:
“Find the top SEO issues from the latest crawl.”
or:
“Export affected URLs for pages with 5xx errors.”
What happens if no context is selected?
If you do not manually select a context, the AI Assistant can still help you.
It has a tool that retrieves the latest crawl from your main workspace. This allows it to answer general questions about your most recent crawl data.
However, setting a context is recommended when you want to make sure the AI Assistant uses a specific workspace, project, crawl configuration, or crawl.
You can also ask the AI Assistant directly which project or crawl to use.
For example:
“Use the project for example.com.”
or:
“Select the latest crawl from my main workspace.”
Upload external files
You can upload external files to the AI Assistant to enrich your analysis.
Supported file formats include:
CSV
JSON
The AI Assistant can use these files together with your Oncrawl crawl data.
This is useful when you want to merge crawl data with another dataset, such as:
keyword data
business data
revenue data
page category exports
custom URL lists
content inventories
analytics exports
For example, you can upload a CSV file and ask the AI Assistant to match it with crawl URLs to identify which SEO issues affect your most valuable pages.
Example prompts
Here are some prompts you can try.
Analyze SEO issues
“Find the top SEO issues from the latest crawl, prioritize them, and give me the affected URLs I should export.”
Launch a crawl
“Crawl this website: {URL homepage}”
Explore crawl data
“Show me the distribution of status codes in the latest crawl.”
Find affected URLs
“Find all indexable pages with a missing title tag and export the affected URLs.”
Work with uploaded data
“Merge this CSV with my crawl data and show me which high-priority URLs have crawlability issues.”
Use a specific project
“Use the project for {website} and analyze the latest crawl.”
Best practices
For better results:
set the context before asking data-specific questions
select at least the project when you know which website you want to analyze
be specific about the dataset or crawl you want to use
