Agent Product Analytics: What Your Dashboard Can't See

About this episode

This episode discusses the need for a new analytics layer for agent products to better understand user behavior and product performance.

For deeper playbooks and analysis: https://natesnewsletter.substack.com/ What's really happening when your user is no longer just clicking, but delegating work to an agent? The common story is that agent failures are engineering incidents — but the reality is that many of them are product analytics failures hiding inside the agent run. In this episode, I share the inside scoop on why product teams need a new analytics layer for agent products. Why chat logs are not enough How agent runs replace sessions as the unit of behavior What Salesforce's Agent Work Units signal about SaaS metrics Where completion, acceptance, and correction rates fit Why product analytics becomes the rudder for agent autonomy Operators, product leaders, and builders should care because agents move too fast for old dashboards. If you cannot see intent, tool calls, permissions, corrections, completion, and trust in one run-level view, you are steering with missing instruments. Subscribe for daily AI strategy and news.
