This guide covers how to get the most out of AI Insights — also called the Personal AI Assistant in the platform. They are the same feature. Not sure what AI Insights is yet? Start with the AI Insights overview.
1. Your first week
Setup checklist- Confirm AI Insights is visible in your Deeto sidebar (navigate to /ai-insights)
- Verify at least 3 team members have access
- Confirm your VoC data sources are connected — interviews, surveys, reviews, and other feedback
- Run your first test query (see examples below)
- Share access with a colleague and run a query together
- “What are the top 3 reasons customers chose us in the last 6 months?”
- “Which customers mentioned challenges with onboarding?”
- “Find positive quotes about [specific feature] from enterprise customers”
- “What feature requests came up most in recent interviews?”
- “Summarize customer sentiment about our pricing”
2. Writing better queries
The AI understands natural language, but a few patterns consistently produce stronger results. Query formulas that work
Refining results
If the first response doesn’t quite hit the mark:
- Add a time filter: “…but only from the last quarter”
- Narrow the segment: “…specifically from mid-market SaaS companies”
- Change the format: “Can you list these as bullet points with customer names?”
- Go deeper: “Tell me more about the third point you mentioned”
3. Use cases by team
Customer Success- Pre-QBR prep: “Summarize all feedback from [Account Name] in the last 6 months”
- Risk detection: “Which accounts expressed frustration about support response times?”
- Expansion signals: “Which customers mentioned wanting to use Deeto for more teams?”
- Competitive intel: “What do customers say about us vs. [Competitor Name]?”
- Proof points: “Find customer quotes about ROI or time savings”
- Messaging validation: “Do customers describe our platform as ‘easy to use’? What words do they actually use?”
- Feature prioritization: “What are the top 5 feature requests from enterprise customers?”
- Sentiment tracking: “How has sentiment about our API changed over the last year?”
- Pain points: “What are the most common complaints about our reporting capabilities?”
- Deal prep: “Find customer stories from healthcare companies that implemented in under 30 days”
- Objection handling: “What do successful customers say when asked about the initial learning curve?”
- Social proof: “Find 3 strong customer quotes about our competitive advantages”
4. Creating content assets with Content Studio
Content Studio is included with AI Insights. It lets you generate polished, customer-sourced content directly from your VoC data.
Best practices for content creation
- Always verify generated content against the source citations provided
- Use specific prompts: “Create a customer quote card about our onboarding experience from a fintech customer”
- Request multiple options: “Give me 3 different proof points about our time-to-value”
- Iterate: “Make this quote more concise” or “Can you find a stronger example?”
Content Studio uses 40 credits per asset generated. Plan your content needs and batch requests where possible. AI queries use 2 credits each.
5. Building team habits
Weeks 1–2: Foundation- Each team member runs at least 3 queries
- Share one useful insight with the broader team
- Identify one recurring task AI Insights can replace (e.g. manual QBR prep)
- Add “AI Insights query” as a step in at least one existing workflow
- Run a team session: each person shares their best query and result
- Identify 2–3 “go-to queries” the team will use regularly
- AI Insights is the first stop for any customer intelligence question
- Team members proactively share AI-surfaced insights without being prompted
- New team members are onboarded to AI Insights as part of tool training
- Quarterly review: measure time savings and quality of insights

Results seem incomplete
Results seem incomplete
Check that all your data sources are connected. AI Insights can only search data that’s in your Deeto workspace. If you’ve recently imported new content, allow a short processing delay before querying it.
Responses are too generic
Responses are too generic
Add more specificity — time range, customer segment, specific topic. See the query formulas in Section 2. “What do customers say about onboarding?” is weaker than “What do enterprise customers say about the first 30 days of onboarding in the last 2 quarters?”

Start with a demo focused on their specific pain point. One relevant query is worth more than a feature overview. Find the task they do manually every week and show them how AI Insights does it in 30 seconds.
