How to analyze AI conversations at scale: from raw transcripts to product insights
Blog post from Braintrust
Raw AI conversation transcripts alone provide incomplete and biased product evidence because manual review covers only a small, selectively visible portion of traffic and often lacks metadata linking interactions to prompts, models, features, user segments, and eventual outcomes. Effective analysis begins with a specific product decision and requires structured tracing of sessions, configurations, feedback, behavioral signals, and downstream results, alongside privacy protections such as redaction, retention limits, and controlled access. Teams can classify conversations by intent and outcome using validated taxonomies, discover emerging issues through clustering, and compare trends across time, customer segments, product features, and model or prompt versions. Findings should be prioritized by frequency, severity, customer impact, and confidence, then investigated to distinguish engineering defects from prompt, retrieval, discoverability, or support issues. Validated patterns can inform roadmaps, support processes, prompt and model evaluations, regression datasets, and production monitoring, while Braintrust is presented as a platform for structured traces, automated topic analysis, human validation, and linking production failures to ongoing quality testing.
