Using the Insights Dashboard

The Insights tab surfaces AI-generated patterns across all evaluated interactions. Unlike Metrics (which shows aggregate numbers), Insights tells you what is happening and why.

Insights can be filtered by agent (via dropdown) and date range (same presets as the Audit tab). When you select a relative date range (such as "Last 7 days"), it is saved by name so it stays relative when you return to the tab -- the range always reflects the current date, not the date you first applied it. A Refresh button on the Insights tab lets you reload the data manually at any time.

7.1 Five Insight Categories

Agent Performance:

CategoryWhat It Surfaces
Top StrengthsPositive agent behaviors identified across interactions
OpportunitiesAreas needing improvement, with coaching recommendations

Product Insights:

CategoryWhat It Surfaces
Product BugsTechnical issues surfaced from customer conversations
Product FeedbackFeature requests and suggestions mentioned by customers

Competitor Insights:

CategoryWhat It Surfaces
CompetitorsReferences to competitors in customer calls

Product Bugs, Product Feedback, and Competitors are all generated by a single configurable agent in the standard template, not three separate mechanisms -- they're grouped here by what they surface, not by how they're produced.

7.2 Each Insight Contains

Each insight category row shows an AI-generated summary at the top before the individual instances. Summaries are generated on demand as rows scroll into view -- only visible rows fetch a summary, so rows off screen cost nothing. If a row's summary cannot be generated, that row shows "Summary unavailable" while the other rows continue to load normally.

ColumnDescription
DriverHigh-level behavioral topic with instance count (e.g., "Information verification")
CategorySub-category within the driver (e.g., "Active listening")
SummaryAI-generated summary of the pattern across all instances in that row, loaded lazily as the row comes into view.
InstancesA button showing the total count that opens the detail drawer

7.3 Insight Thresholds

Not all insights are displayed. The system applies minimum thresholds to surface only meaningful patterns:

Agent Performance insights (Strengths and Opportunities):

ScopeMinimum Count Required
Single agent>= 2 instances
Team (all agents)>= 3 instances

Product insights (Bugs and Feedback): Shown if the insight is in the top 20% by count OR has a count >= 5.

Competitor Mentions: All mentions are displayed (count >= 1).

7.4 Viewing Insight Details

Click the Instances button on any insight row to open a detail drawer showing:

DetailDescription
SummaryThe AI-generated summary for that row. If the row's summary was already loaded in the table, the drawer shows it immediately with no additional request.
Matching instancesIndividual instance cards, each showing the UCID (linked to the Audit tab), justification, and source verbatims in an expandable accordion

7.5 Using Insights Effectively

CategoryHow to Use It
Top StrengthsShare with teams for positive reinforcement. Document best practices.
OpportunitiesBuild targeted coaching plans. Prioritize by count -- higher counts = more widespread issues.
Product BugsRoute to engineering and product teams. These are real customer pain points.
Product FeedbackForward to product management as voice-of-customer data.
CompetitorsShare with strategy and marketing. Track which competitors are mentioned most.

7.6 Coaching Reports

Generate a personalized training document for an individual agent, tailored to their specific improvement areas:

  1. From the Insights tab, select the agent to generate a report for
  2. Ema analyzes that agent's QA feedback and insights
  3. A training document is produced, focused on that agent's specific improvement areas

7.7 Ask Ema

Ask Ema lets you type a question about your QA data in plain English and get an answer built from the real numbers. It appears as its own tab on the AI Employee, next to Audit, Metrics, and Insights.

Ask Ema reads your existing QA results. It never grades a call, changes a rule, or edits your data -- every question becomes a read-only lookup.

Asking a Question

Type your question in the box at the bottom of the tab. Enter sends it; Shift+Enter starts a new line. Ema shows its progress while it works, then the answer appears in the conversation, usually with a chart or table alongside the text.

An empty chat offers three starting points:

SuggestionAsks
Agent scoresWhich agents had the lowest scores last week?
Rule failuresWhich rules fail most often for the team?
My performanceHow did I do this week?

What You Can Ask

Ask Ema reaches the QA data this AI Employee has produced -- scores and evaluations, rules and parameters, agent performance, CSAT, insights, transcripts, reviewer feedback, and imports.

Ask in business language, not database language. "Which rule fails most often on escalated calls?" works; you never need to know a table or column name.

Conversations and History

Conversations are kept, and Ema remembers earlier turns within one, so you can follow up with "and the month before?" without repeating yourself. New chat starts fresh -- use it when you change subject. Show history lists past conversations, which you can Rename or Delete.

What You Can See

Ask Ema never shows more than your role already allows elsewhere in Agent QA. Access is checked before your question is looked at, and the limits are applied to the lookup itself rather than filtered out afterwards.

Limits and Troubleshooting

Limit or problemDetail
Read-onlyAsk Ema can only look. It cannot re-run an evaluation, change a rule, or delete anything.
ScopeOne AI Employee at a time. Ask Ema does not compare across AI Employees.
"I couldn't answer that"Rephrase more specifically -- name the timeframe and what you want counted.
No Ask Ema tabAsk Ema is not switched on for your organisation, or your role has no metrics access.
