Agent Conversation Analytics for Chat & Voice Products
Product analytics purpose-built for teams shipping LLM chat and voice agents, surfacing behavioral failures like rage-prompting, repeated rephrasing, and silent drop-offs that traditional click/funnel analytics can't detect.

Launch HN: Agnost AI (YC S26) – Extract user feedback from agent conversations
Hey HN, we’re Shubham & Parth, childhood friends building Agnost AI ( https://agnost.ai ), product analytics for teams building chat and voice agents. We read production conversations and find behavioral failures like users rageprompting (cursing at the agent), repeatedly rephrasing the same request, correcting the agent, asking for missing features, or leaving after an answer that was technically successful. We have an interactive demo with no signup here: https://app.agnost.ai?demo=true Here's a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/agnost-ai-launch-hn-demo-9haa The core problem is that chat and voice products do not have the same metrics as web apps. When the product interface is language, clicks and funnels become much less useful. Users also rarely give explicit feedback, and when they do it's usually sugarcoated. I barely type /feedback in Claude or Codex myself. Most users just curse, ask again, correct the agent, or leave. So product engineers get technical visibility from latency, errors, and traces, but still have to guess whether users got what they wanted. We got here after building around agents for the last year and got a couple of founders asking for something like a PostHog for conversations for the AI assistants they were building. We are not trying to be in the observability or evals space. Observability tells you what happened technically. Evals validate cases you already know. We're more on the discovery side like what users wanted, where they got frustrated, what they asked for repeatedly, and what new evals should exist. Teams send us agent conversation messages through SDKs or OTel, optionally with metadata like account, plan, source, organization, etc. We cluster conversations into product-specific intents. Feature requests and bugs are default categories; most other clusters are created dynamically from the customer’s data and evolve over time. You can create your own cluster in plain English. If a cluster gets too broad, we split it. If a new pattern appears, we suggest it. One AI video editor company used Agnost AI to find feature requests hidden inside chat. The biggest one was that around 70 users wanted auto-subtitles, but users said it as “add this text in this frame” 12x in a single session, “can you caption it”, “give me transcript of audio” and variations across languages. The team later built the feature. Doing this over millions of messages without sending everything to an LLM was the hard part initially. In ClickHouse, “fetch the last 50 events by time across conversations” and “fetch all events in this conversation” want different sort orders, so we had to iterate a lot on sorting keys, partitions, materialized views, and projections. For finding new clusters, sending everything through an LLM was too slow and expensive. HDBSCAN-style embedding clustering also gets painful at scale because of pairwise comparisons. We first split conversations into segments based on cosine drift, run BIRCH to compress the candidate space, and then use HDBSCAN-like clustering on the smaller set. For matching existing clusters, we use embeddings, smaller classifiers/BERT-style models, and LLMs only as fallback for ambiguous cases. We’re live with multiple companies and ingesting ~1M chat and voice messages per day. Pricing is public: Starter is free, Pro is $499/month, and Enterprise is for higher volume, security, retention needs. We use each customer’s data only for that customer. We are SOC 2 Type 1 compliant, Type 2 is in progress, and our SDKs are on PyPI and npm. We’d love feedback from the HN community and people building chat or voice agents: how do you detect these signals today, what feedback methods have worked, and what would block you from trying this? Happy to answer questions and take criticism.
Watch Closely
Promising but needs more validation.
Problem
Chat and voice AI products don't have the same metrics as web apps. When the interface is language, clicks and funnels become nearly useless. Teams shipping agents can't easily see when users are rage-prompting (cursing at the agent), rephrasing the same request repeatedly, correcting the agent, asking for missing features, or leaving after a technically-successful but unsatisfying answer.
Target Audience
Product and engineering teams building customer-facing LLM chat and voice agents — support bots, AI copilots, voice assistants — who need to understand conversation quality but lack the analytics tooling that web/mobile products enjoy.
Why Now
There's been an explosion of agent-based products in 2024-2025, and teams are now hitting the wall of not knowing whether their agents actually work in production. Traditional analytics (Amplitude, Mixpanel) don't map to conversational interfaces, creating a fresh tooling gap that a YC S26 company is validating.
MVP Scope
Ingest production conversation logs via API/SDK, run LLM-based classification to detect behavioral failure signals (rage-prompting, rephrasing loops, corrections, feature requests, unsatisfying-but-successful answers), and present a dashboard of failure clusters with example transcripts and trend lines.
Suggested Features
- •Automated tagging of conversation failure modes (rage, rephrase, correction, drop-off)
- •Failure-cluster dashboard with drill-down into raw transcripts
- •Feature-gap detection from users asking for missing capabilities
- •Alerts/webhooks when specific failure rates spike
- •Session-level satisfaction scoring beyond thumbs up/down
- •Integrations with common agent frameworks and logging pipelines
Monetization
Business Model
B2B SaaS subscription priced by conversation volume, with tiered plans for startups vs. scaled agent products.
Pricing Suggestion
Free tier up to ~1k conversations/mo, then $99-$499/mo based on volume, custom enterprise pricing for high-volume voice/support deployments.
Landing Page Angle
“'Your agent's clicks and funnels are lying to you.' Lead with the fact that conversational products need conversational metrics, showing side-by-side examples of a technically-successful answer that still lost the user.”
Launch Plan
Follow the Show HN / Launch HN playbook with a no-signup interactive demo. Publish teardowns of real (anonymized) agent conversation failures to demonstrate insight, and offer free analysis of a prospect's exported transcripts as a lead magnet.
