January was a massive month for Okiela. We shipped 8 major improvements based directly on user feedback. Here is everything that is new and what is coming next.
New Features
Google OAuth Login (One-Click Signup)
You can now sign up and log in with your Google account -- one click, no password needed. This is now our recommended login method for the smoothest experience.
Why we built this: 43% of users who started email signup never completed it. With Google OAuth, signup completion jumped to 91%.
Try Sample Store (Instant Demo)
New visitors can now click "Try Sample Store" to instantly see a fully-loaded demo dashboard with realistic e-commerce data from a fictional store called "Glow Essentials."
No signup required. See real metrics, explore the AI chat, and understand your potential insights in 30 seconds.
This is now our highest-converting feature: 68% of users who try the demo go on to create an account.
Smarter AI Chat
Our AI chat got significantly more intelligent this month:
- Context-aware responses that reference your actual KPI data by name
- Suggested follow-up questions after every answer (reducing friction)
- Structured recommendations with specific numbers: "Raise Jump Rope Speed price by $4.75 to hit 30% margin"
- Faster response times (average 1.2 seconds vs. 3.5 seconds before)
