# Recaps: what changed and why it matters

> AI-generated daily, weekly, or monthly reports that surface trends, anomalies, and the exact runs behind each finding.

Recaps answer the question: **what changed that I should pay attention to?**

They are AI-generated performance reports that scan your agent data end-to-end and surface what you would otherwise miss: emerging failure patterns, cost anomalies, shifting user behavior, and the specific runs behind each trend.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Data collection">
    Queries your agent's runs, errors, costs, feedback, patterns, and user interactions from the configured period.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI analysis">
    An analytics agent explores the dataset, comparing the period to the previous one and identifying trends, anomalies, and noteworthy changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Evidence linking">
    Every finding is backed by links to the runs, sessions, patterns, and failures that support it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delivery">
    Recaps are sent to your subscribed [Slack](/integrations/slack) channels and appear as highlights on your overview dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What is in a recap

Every recap includes:

* **Metrics comparison** — run volume, failure rate, cost, feedback ratio, and other key numbers versus the previous period.
* **Trends of interest** — spikes in errors, drops in satisfaction, models costing more than they should, latency changes.
* **Issues by severity** — high, medium, and low priority, each with user quotes and linked runs.
* **Topic breakdown** — what users are asking about most, with percentages and example prompts.
* **Highlights** — the wins: improved success rates, efficiency gains, tools performing well.

## Cadence

Set recap frequency from the **Integrations** page or through [Slack](/integrations/slack):

| Frequency   | What you get                                                             |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Daily**   | Quick snapshot of yesterday's activity and anything worth knowing about. |
| **Weekly**  | Deep analysis comparing this week to last, with full trend breakdowns.   |
| **Monthly** | Broader view of how the agent is performing over time.                   |

## Dashboard highlights

Recaps also appear as highlights at the top of the overview dashboard. Click any highlight to drill into:

* A written analysis of what changed and why
* The key metrics behind the finding
* Links to the specific failures, runs, sessions, or patterns involved
* Example traces illustrating the trend

## Slack delivery

With the [Slack integration](/integrations/slack) configured, recaps are delivered automatically to your subscribed channels on your chosen schedule.

## Limitations

* Recaps analyze production data only.
* Findings are grounded in what The Context Company [captures](/what-tcc-captures). Dimensions your integration does not attach (for example, missing `tcc.userId`) will not appear in per-user breakdowns.
