Launch for Personal Data Analytics Platform Hey.ai

In the US, a group of former Google Analytics execs have publicly launched a consumer analytics and insights platform called hey.ai, helping individuals access and understand the data which sites like Facebook and Google store about them.

The team behind hey.ai previously co-founded Google's chatbot analytics platform Chatbase. The new platform is intended to meet the requirements of the recently introduced GDPR legislation, through which an individual can request to access their own data. During its beta, hey.ai found that the average user had more than 500 MB of uncompressed Facebook data and over 10 GB of uncompressed Google data - with some of the data files large enough to cause crashes.

Hey.ai will be monetized by charging users for insights and features, as well as analytics on premium only networks. Hari Rajagopalan (pictured), founder of hey.ai, comments: 'I realized Facebook had over ten years of my life events, and I had a lot of questions about myself. I began asking my friends what they wanted to know about their Facebook and Google data, and built an analytics platform to answer those questions'.
