Overview

Insights turn your Costa activity into something you can understand, compare, and improve. Instead of guessing which prompts, models, or workflows are effective, Costa shows you what actually happened and how it performed. Insights are derived from real usage across sessions and threads.

​
What You Can See

Costa surfaces analytics at multiple levels:
  • Session summaries: What was attempted, what changed, and what the outcome was.
  • Thread analytics: How prompts evolved, where iterations stalled, and where progress accelerated.
  • Task breakdown: Units of work within a session, including completion status and estimated complexity.

​
Session Insights

Costa analyzes each session to surface:
  • Session score — a combined signal of momentum, efficiency, and task completion
  • Time distribution — how effort is split across planning, coding, and chat
  • Task list — number, complexity, and completion rate of tasks
  • Tool usage patterns — which tools and commands actually drove progress
Insights make it easy to share what worked, learn from each other’s sessions, and align on better ways of working. For details on how sessions work, see our Sessions page.

​
Thread Insights

Costa analyzes each thread to surface:
  • Prompt evolution — how instructions changed and refined over the course of the thread
  • Iteration depth — number of prompts, revisions, and intermediate reasoning steps
  • Model usage — which models were used and how they contributed across iterations
  • Code impact — files created or modified and the scope of changes
Thread insights help teams understand how results were reached and share effective threads as references. For details on how threads work, see our 💬 Threads page.

Why Insights Matter

Costa insights are designed for human-in-the-loop AI-assisted coding. They help you:
  • Build faster without burning points
  • Improve prompts and workflows over time
  • Share high-signal examples with teammates
  • Understand how AI contributes to real outcomes — not just usage volume
Insights respect your sharing, visibility, and retention settings and are private by default.
