Every knowledge base has an Analytics dashboard (open a knowledge base → Analytics) that shows how it is being used, which content is working, and where the gaps are. It turns the questions your customers ask into a picture of what to improve next.
Knowledge base analytics dashboard

Usage overview

The top of the dashboard summarizes retrieval activity over the last 30 days:
  • Total queries — how often the knowledge base was searched
  • Average response time — retrieval latency
  • Top chunk retrievals — how many times the most-used chunks were pulled
  • Average relevance — mean similarity of retrieved content
Below the stats you’ll find query trends over time, an agent usage breakdown (which agents query this knowledge base), content utilization (which documents are pulling their weight vs. sitting unused), and cost attribution (embedding and vector-store cost for this knowledge base).

Outcome Attribution

This section answers the question “is my knowledge base actually helping?” by joining what was retrieved to what customers did next — thumbs, clicks, and conversions.
  • Resource Performance — for each document: how often it was surfaced (impressions), thumbs up/down, a helpfulness rate, and a performance tier:
  • Feedback-Driven Gaps — the questions your customers asked that earned a thumbs down, ranked by how often they failed. This is the most actionable list on the page: it tells you exactly what content to add or improve next.
  • Engagement Funnel — impression → click → conversion on the resources your agents surface, with click-through and conversion rates. For commerce knowledge bases this shows whether retrieved products actually get clicked and bought.
The Feedback-Driven Gaps list is where knowledge bases grow. Each gap you fill makes the next answer better — and feeds the learning loop below.

Learning Progress

Retrieval improves on its own as your knowledge base is used. The Learning Progress card shows how much signal you’ve collected and what it unlocks.
  • Progress to the next unlock — a weighted score built from your customer signals. Not all signals count equally: a human correction outweighs a thumbs-up, which outweighs a click.
  • What’s feeding the model — a breakdown by signal type (thumbs, clicks, conversions, human corrections). A Training mode row is reserved for a future feature where you answer or review questions directly — the strongest signal of all.
  • Learning stages — three milestones that unlock as signal accrues:
    1. Smart ranking — resources your customers engage with are automatically boosted in retrieval.
    2. Learned weights — default content weights are replaced with ones learned from your customers.
    3. Custom reranker — a reranking model tuned on your business — something a competitor can’t copy.

Turning learning off

Smart ranking is on by default. If you’d rather keep full manual control over how content is ranked, use the Apply learning to ranking switch on the card to turn it off for that knowledge base. With it off, retrieval uses only semantic + keyword relevance and your content weights — no engagement boost.
Learning is floor-gated per resource: a document must accumulate enough evidence before its engagement can move ranking, so a handful of early clicks never skews results. New knowledge bases show “Collecting signal” until enough usage accrues.
