# Inbox (/operations/inbox)



The Inbox is where you read what actually happened: every conversation between a
visitor and your assistants. It is the best way to understand how visitors phrase
questions and where the assistant does well or falls short. Open **Inbox** from the
sidebar.

## Browse conversations [#browse-conversations]

The conversation list groups recent activity so the newest is easy to find. Each
entry shows the visitor, a preview of the message, and a timestamp. Use the tools
at the top to narrow the list:

* **Date range** limits the list to a period.
* **Search** finds conversations by their content.
* **Filters** narrow by the attributes that matter to you.
* **Exports** let you take conversation data out for deeper analysis.

## Read a conversation [#read-a-conversation]

Open a conversation to see the full transcript. Alongside the messages you get:

* **Workflow markers** that show which flow handled each turn, so you can see your
  rules in action.
* **Sources** on each generated answer, so you can check where the information came
  from.
* **Feedback** such as thumbs up or down when a visitor left it.

A side panel gives context about the conversation and the session, including
details about how the visitor reached the assistant and where the conversation
stands, including whether it was escalated.

## Turn insight into action [#turn-insight-into-action]

The Inbox pairs naturally with the Improvements board. When you spot an answer that
missed, you can flag it for improvement so it becomes a tracked item to fix. See
[Improvements](/operations/improvements).

<Callout title="Read real questions often">
  Nothing teaches you more about an assistant than the words visitors actually use.
  A few minutes in the Inbox regularly will surface most of what needs tuning.
