Interview Analysis

After an interview is completed, InsightAgent automatically generates AI-powered analysis including an executive summary and key quotes extracted from the conversation.

Overview​

Interview analysis provides:

  • Executive Summary - A concise paragraph summarizing the main topics discussed, key insights, and notable opinions shared by the expert
  • Key Quotes - Notable verbatim quotes from the expert with context explaining their significance (agent quotes are excluded to focus on expert insights)

Analysis is generated automatically when an interview completes, or can be manually triggered for completed interviews.

Viewing Analysis​

Analysis appears in the Analysis tab when viewing an interview. The tab displays:

  1. Summary Section - The AI-generated executive summary
  2. Key Quotes Section - Notable quotes with:
    • The exact quote text from the expert
    • Context explaining why the quote is significant
    • Clickable timestamp to jump to that point in the recording

Quote Navigation​

Click on a quote's timestamp to:

  • Seek the audio player to that moment
  • Highlight the corresponding entry in the transcript

Regenerating Analysis​

If you need to regenerate the analysis (for example, after the AI models have been improved), click the Regenerate button in the Summary section. This will:

  • Generate a new summary
  • Extract fresh quotes
  • Replace the existing analysis

Account Settings​

You can control which analysis features are enabled for your account:

  1. Go to Settings in the sidebar
  2. Under Post-Interview Analysis, toggle:
    • Summary Generation - Enable/disable automatic summary generation
    • Quote Extraction - Enable/disable automatic quote extraction

These settings apply to all new interviews. Existing interviews retain their generated analysis.

How It Works​

Summary Generation​

The AI analyzes the complete transcript and generates a factual summary based only on what was actually discussed. For brief or incomplete interviews, the summary will honestly reflect the limited content available.

Quote Extraction​

Quotes are extracted directly from the expert's responses with strict validation:

  • Only expert quotes are included (agent questions/statements are filtered out)
  • Only exact verbatim quotes are included
  • Each quote must appear word-for-word in the transcript
  • Timestamps are verified against the actual transcript
  • Hallucinated or paraphrased quotes are automatically rejected

API Access​

Analysis data is included in the interview response:

{
  "id": "interview-uuid",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "summary": "The interview covered topics including...",
  "quotes": [
    {
      "quote": "Exact quote from the transcript",
      "speaker": "expert",
      "context": "This quote highlights the expert's view on...",
      "timestamp_secs": 145
    }
  ],
  "analysisGeneratedAt": "2026-01-09T10:00:00.000Z"
}

See the API Reference for complete details.

Tips​

  • Short interviews: If an interview is cut short, the analysis will note that the content is limited rather than fabricating details
  • Multiple sessions: Analysis is generated from the primary (active) session's transcript
  • Regeneration: Use regeneration sparingly - it consumes AI processing resources
