Insights Section

The Insights section uses AI to analyze your photo portfolio and provide intelligent recommendations. There are four types of insights:

1. Pose Profile Insights

Analyzes which pose profiles you use most often and which produce the best quality:

  • Most-Used Profile: "Traditional Portrait (78%)" - Shows your default workflow
  • Best Quality Profile: "Professional Headshot (avg 9.1)" - Identifies which profile yields highest ratings
  • Recommendation: "Consider using Professional Headshot for higher ratings" - Actionable suggestion

2. Issue Detection Insights

Priority-based alerts help you identify and address the most common quality problems:

  • High Priority (â‰Ĩ15%): "⚠ī¸ Glare in 18% of photos - review lighting setup"
  • Medium Priority (5-14%): "ℹī¸ Pose issues in 9% - check subject angles"
  • Low Priority (<5%): "✓ Only 2% eye issues - good consistency"

Focus on High Priority: Address high-priority issues first for the biggest impact on overall quality. These patterns affect the most photos and offer the greatest opportunity for improvement.

3. Trend Analysis

Compares the last 7 days with the previous 7 days to show progress:

  • Quality Trend: "📈 Improving +6.2% (8.0 → 8.5)" - Shows direction of change
  • Issue Trends: "Glare decreasing (-15%)" - Tracks specific problem types
  • Consistency: "Brightness variance reducing" - Measures technical consistency

4. Actionable Recommendations

Specific technical suggestions based on your aggregate data:

  • 📸 "Average brightness 65 - increase lighting by 10-15%"
  • đŸŽ¯ "Contrast 52 - consider using softer lighting setup"
  • ✨ "Blur score 85 - check camera focus settings"
