About the Team
The Insights team builds the product surfaces that help companies understand the conversations their AI agents have with customers. We create tools that uncover customer intents, highlight gaps in agent behavior, analyze voice of customer patterns, and guide teams toward writing better AOPs and improving overall agent quality.
The team owns products like Insights, Watchtower, Suggestions, and AskAI. We focus on clear explanations, intuitive visualizations, and workflows that allow users to understand and act on information quickly.
This product area has a significant opportunity to shape how customers learn from their data and improve their agents.
