Understanding Spotlight Reports

Understanding Spotlight reports

Spotlight is evaluagent's AI insight tool. It scans sets of customer conversations and tells you what's going on inside them — the patterns, the friction, and the things working well — without you reading every transcript.


What is Spotlight?

Spotlight acts as your AI business analyst. You filter a set of conversations on the Imported Contacts page, click Spotlight, and the AI reads through the conversation summaries to surface root causes and emerging themes.

Results are grouped into three categories so you know where to focus first:

  • Critical Issues — urgent things that need immediate attention (service breakdowns, at-risk customers, complaints that could lead to churn)

  • Monitor Closely — emerging trends and early warning signs before they become bigger problems

  • Performing Well — what's working, so you can do more of it

Each theme inside a category shows the percentage of conversations it covers and example excerpts so you can verify the findings and use them as evidence.


Why it matters

Manually reading through hundreds of conversations to spot trends is slow and biased toward whatever you happened to read first. Spotlight turns that hours-of-analysis job into a few minutes, and it shows you the supporting evidence — not just a vague summary.

Practical things you can do with Spotlight reports:

  • Brief team leads on the actual issues coming up in conversations this week

  • Build coaching plans grounded in real customer language, not assumptions

  • Spot process or product friction early, before complaint volumes spike

  • Share findings with stakeholders outside evaluagent for cross-functional action


How scheduling works

You can run Spotlight ad hoc whenever you want, or set it up to run automatically on a schedule.

  • Weekly reports cover the previous week and arrive every Monday

  • Monthly reports cover the previous month and arrive on the 1st

  • One-off reports send a single analysis immediately to a chosen recipient list

Scheduled reports land in your inbox with the same Critical Issues, Monitor Closely, and Performing Well structure you see in the app. Up to 10 schedules can be active across your organisation at any time.


Where to view results

Every Spotlight analysis you run is saved.

  • Go to Analytics > Spotlight to see your history

  • Click any past analysis to open the full results page

  • You'll also get an in-app notification when a new analysis finishes, with a direct link

You can share a results page with anyone who has Spotlight access on your contract by copying the URL. For sharing externally (with people who don't use evaluagent), there's a separate Share button that emails a secure link.
