## Best Practices

### Asking Effective Questions

* **Include context** - Mention time ranges or filters
* **Use natural language** - Chat understands conversational queries
* **Reference sessions** - Include session IDs when asking about specific sessions

### Using Session Context

* **Open sessions first** - View session before asking questions
* **Ask follow-ups** - Build on previous responses
* **Reference details** - Mention specific events or actions

### Getting Insights

* **Ask "why"** - Understand root causes
* **Request comparisons** - Compare time periods or segments
* **Get recommendations** - Ask for improvement suggestions

## Troubleshooting

### Chat Not Responding

* **Check connection** - Ensure you're connected to the internet
* **Wait for response** - AI analysis may take a few seconds
* **Try rephrasing** - Restate your question differently

### Incorrect Answers

* **Provide more context** - Include session IDs or time ranges
* **Be more specific** - Narrow down your question
* **Check data** - Verify sessions exist and have data

### Session Not Found

* **Verify session ID** - Check the session ID is correct
* **Check permissions** - Ensure you have access to the project
* **Confirm existence** - Verify the session exists

## Tips

### Quick Analysis

Use chat for quick insights without navigating multiple pages:

"What's our conversion rate?"
```

### Deep Dives

"What changed after the update?"
```
