Know What's Happening With Your Videos, Without Digging Through the Data
Understanding video performance used to mean cross-referencing engagement curves, retention charts, and traffic sources on your own β and still not knowing exactly what to make of it all.
Performance Insights changes that. Vids AI analyzes your video's recent session data and writes a short set of plain-language insights right on the Vid Stats page. You get a clear read on how your video is doing, what shifted compared to the previous week, and which segment, traffic source, or section of the video is behind the result.
It's the difference between looking at data and actually understanding it.
π What's New
Plain-Language Insight Cards on Vid Stats
- Vids AI automatically generates insight cards on your Vid Stats page for eligible videos
- Each card explains what's happening with your video in plain English β no interpretation needed
- Cards cover three angles: current performance vs. benchmark, what changed vs. the prior week, and what's working or not working (by segment, traffic source, video section, or setting)
Insight Slider
- If multiple insights are available, move through them in sequence with the insight slider
- Each card is focused and digestible β no walls of text
Full Performance Report in the Vids AI Sidebar
- Click See Full Reporton any insight card to open the complete performance analysis in the Vids AI sidebar
- Ask follow-up questions in the chat, or run other Vids AI analyses on the same video (summary, drop-off audit, trends, segments, benchmark, traffic drill-down, and more)
Per-Insight Feedback
- Rate each insight with a thumbs up or down so the system continues improving over time
- Dismiss any card you don't find useful β it won't reappear
π οΈ How It Works
Vids AI analyzes the most recent 7-day window of your video's session data β engagement, conversions, segments, and behavior over time β and compares it to the 7 days before that. It then writes a small set of insights explaining what it found. Generated insights are stable across visits for a few days, so you'll see consistent cards rather than a new set on every page load.
π οΈ How to Use It
- Open the Vid Statspage for any eligible video
- If insights are available, they'll appear automatically as inline cards β no action needed
- If this is the first time the video is being analyzed, there may be a brief loading moment while Vids AI processes the data (up to about a minute)
- Read the insight card β use the sliderto move through additional insights if more than one is available
- Click See Full Reportto open the full analysis in the Vids AI sidebar
- Ask follow-up questions in the chat or explore other Vids AI analysis options on the same video
- Rate the insight with a thumbs up or down, or dismiss the card when you're done
