What is an AI head of growth?
An AI head of growth is an agent that keeps the growth numbers honest and the experiments moving: it pulls the funnel from your analytics app, CRM and billing every week, tracks each experiment from hypothesis to result, researches the landing pages and campaigns your competitors run, and writes the weekly growth report people actually read. Cicada's does that from Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp or email, works in the apps you connect, and reports on the minute, every Monday. It doesn't buy ads or ship code; it brings you the numbers and the next test.
What your AI head of growth does.
Pulls the funnel
Visits, sign-ups, activation, trial to paid and churn from your analytics app, HubSpot or Salesforce, and Stripe or Shopify, by channel, as a sheet with this week next to last.
Tracks every experiment
Hypothesis, start date, sample, result, decision, in Notion, Airtable or a sheet. It updates the numbers, says when a test can be called, and reminds you what's still running.
Writes the weekly report
Monday at 8: what moved, why, which experiments concluded, what to run next. A message and a sheet, on the minute, in words a founder reads on a phone.
Researches campaigns and pages
Reads competitors' landing pages, pricing pages and launch posts with its own browser, and writes up what they changed and what's worth testing.
Drafts the next test
The variant copy, the page outline, the email: as a document in your branding for the person who ships it. It doesn't ship the page itself.
Watches the channels
A sign-up spike from a new referrer, a channel going quiet, a paid campaign whose conversion dropped: flagged the day it happens, with the numbers.
Who hires an AI head of growth.
Growth before a growth hire
The funnel in a sheet every Monday, the experiments tracked, the next test drafted, without a dashboard you forget to open.
The reporting and research done for you
Takes the Monday numbers, the experiment log and the competitor reading so you spend the week deciding what to run.
Campaigns measured, not guessed
Each campaign's sign-ups and trial starts next to its cost, from the CRM and billing, the week it runs.
Activation watched daily
Which sign-ups reached the first value step and which stalled, read from your analytics app, flagged the day it changes.
Store growth by channel
Orders, new customers and repeat rate from Shopify by channel, with the campaign research for the next launch.
Client growth reports on time
Every client's funnel and experiments in a branded report, Monday morning, built from the apps they connect.
Set up in three steps.
Say what the job is
Describe the role in a sentence when you sign up, or tell the agent in the chat. It writes its own brief, which you can read and change any time.
Connect the apps it needs
One click for most apps. Each one can be Full, Ask first or Read-only, for every agent in the workspace.
Link your phone, or don't
Scan a code and it's in your iMessage or WhatsApp. Or keep it in the app, Slack and email. Hand it the first job in the same message.
Nothing goes out without your yes.
Nothing goes out without your yes
Anything that can't be undone, and any message to another person, waits for your OK. Approve with a 👍 in the chat, or set a role to full autonomy once you trust it.
Read-only is a real lock
Make any app read-only and the agent can look but never change a thing. It applies to every agent in the workspace, from their next run.
Every step on the record
Each run shows what it read, what it did and what it sent, step by step, in the Activity tab. Corrections you make stick.
What it won't do.
Won't pretend
If it couldn't confirm something, it leaves it out and says so. A number without a source doesn't go in a message.
Won't go around you
It never messages anyone on your behalf unless you asked, never spends money, and never makes a judgement call about money on its own.
Won't read what isn't shared
Teammates' agents work only through the apps the workspace shares. Your inbox and your personal apps stay under your own login.
Three ways to run growth
| Task | Doing it yourself | An analytics dashboard | An AI head of growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| The weekly numbers | Sunday night in a spreadsheet | A dashboard you open | A sheet and a message, Monday at 8, on the minute |
| The why behind a change | Your best guess | Not covered | Traced to a channel or a campaign, in words |
| Experiments | A doc that goes stale | Not covered | Logged, updated and called when the sample is there |
| Competitor research | When you have an afternoon | Not covered | Pages read with its own browser, written up, every week |
| The next test | Written when you get to it | Not covered | Drafted as a document for the person who ships it |
| Buying ads | You | Not covered | Not covered: it reports the numbers; you or your agency buy |
| Where it happens | Your laptop | Their web app | Your Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp or email |
Things to ask your AI head of growth.

"Read the pricing pages of Northwind and Acme and tell me what they changed since last quarter."
You get: A one-page write-up from its own browser: what each page shows now, what moved, and two things worth testing.

You get: A document in your branding, shared as a link, for the person who sends it from your email tool.

Frequently asked questions.
Where do I talk to it?
Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email or the web app. Link your phone with a code at sign-up and it answers in the same thread. In a channel it stays quiet until someone names it.
Where do the numbers come from?
The analytics app your workspace connects, HubSpot or Salesforce for the pipeline, Stripe or Shopify for revenue, and any sheet you keep. It says which source each number came from and never fills a gap with a guess.
Does it buy or manage ads?
No. It isn't an ad-buying platform. It reads the results you connect, tells you what the campaign did, and drafts the next one; you or your agency place the spend.
Can it ship a landing page?
It writes the copy and the outline as a document and reads your competitors' pages with its own browser. Building the page is handed to the person or tool that owns your site.
How does it track experiments?
In Notion, Airtable or a sheet, one row per test: hypothesis, start, sample, result, decision. It updates the numbers each week and tells you when a result can be called.
What won't it do?
It won't spend money, won't send a campaign without your yes, won't state a conversion rate it couldn't read from a source, and won't call a test early to make the report look better.
How does it know what matters to us?
It keeps a memory of your metrics, your channels and your rules, which you can read and edit in the app. Tell it "activation means a first report created" once and that sticks.
Can the team use it?
Yes. Everyone in the workspace gets their own agent. The analytics app, the CRM and billing are connected once for the team; a coordinator can split a big research job between specialists and send you one answer.
What does it cost?
Every workspace starts with 300 free credits. You add a card at sign-up and nothing is charged until you run low; then it's $25 for 200 credits, with no subscription. A quick reply is about 5 credits and a typical run under 20; plans start at $99 a month.
