Insights
The insights system analyzes your top conversations, finds patterns in what makes subscribers convert, and turns those patterns into reusable playbooks. It's how Whisper gets smarter about your specific account over time.

What You Get
Strategies
Whisper analyzes what worked in your best conversations and extracts strategies per subscriber segment. For example: "VIP subscribers respond well to exclusive early access offers" or "New subscribers convert best when asked about their preferences first."
Playbooks
Strategies become playbooks, which are step-by-step conversation templates. Playbooks are used by the campaign system to run personalized outreach at scale.
Conversion Scoring Data
Insights also builds the scoring data that powers the conversion scores in /unreads and /review. The more you run insights, the better the scoring gets.
Options
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
--deep | Syncs more conversation history per subscriber (slower but more thorough) |
--top 50 | Analyze more than the default 30 top spenders |
--force | Re-run even if data is still fresh from a recent run |
Deep Mode
Standard mode syncs recent messages for each subscriber. Deep mode goes further back, giving the AI more conversation history to analyze. It takes longer but produces better strategies.

whisper insights --deepWhen to Run Insights
- After your first week: Once you have enough conversation data, run insights for the first time to bootstrap your scoring and playbooks.
- Weekly or biweekly: Run it periodically to keep your strategies fresh as your audience evolves.
- After big changes: If you shifted your content strategy or had a big influx of new subscribers, run insights to recalibrate.
First time running insights?
The first run takes the longest because it has to sync and analyze everything from scratch. Subsequent runs are faster because Whisper caches data locally.
