AI Digests
This article is written for: ✅ Zello Work ❌ Zello Friends & Family.
Zello's AI Digests feature delivers daily summaries of conversations from up to 5 network channels, offering actionable insight into your team's communications in a clear, concise, and easily-readable format.
AI Digests are emailed to configured recipients, ensuring key stakeholders are informed of communication trends without requiring active network monitoring. They afford deeper awareness of a team's daily operations—including roadblocks, successes, and (in)efficiencies—empowering stakeholders to effectively and proactively support frontline workers.
What's included in AI Digests?
Each emailed digest includes an overview section that summarizes the day's conversations, as well as a deep-dive section that delves into discussed issues, their duration, their resolution, and any resulting to-dos.
Digests capture a configured timeframe, and they're emailed daily to assigned contacts. Currently, AI Digests follow a rule of 5:
- Each network can configure up to 5 separate digests.
- Each digest covers up to 5 channels.
- Each digest may be sent to a maximum of 20 emails.
Please note that each digest summarizes communications and identifies patterns across its assigned channels. For example:
- If your Digest is assigned 5 channels, the insights will summarize topics of conversation across all 5. This may help identify any trends occurring throughout operational units.
- If you've configured your Digest to cover a single channel, your insights will focus solely on communications occurring in that channel.
A single Digest may cover between 1 and 5 channels. Consider grouping channels with similar use cases in one Digest to maximize the feature's value.
