GenAI models are not designed for forecasting, and along with the tendancy to hallucinate information, the output of these models should not be trusted when planning key business decisions. For more details, a previous article on our blog explores in-depth the trade-offs of GenAI vs Traditional Machine Learning approaches.

This free A/B test calculator will help you compare two variants of your website, A and B, and tell you the probability that B is better. You can read more about A/B testing in our earlier blog post on the subject. You may also be interested in our Chi-Squared sample size calculator which will help you calculate the minimum sample size needed to run a Chi-Squared test, given an expected standardised effect size.
