Auto-Detected Key Themes

How AI identifies recurring themes from your management activity.

Last updated April 2026

Auto-detected key themes are a Pro feature. Upgrade to Pro to have AI identify recurring themes from your activity.

Manually tagging themes across every catchup, meeting, and survey takes effort. Auto-detection uses AI to analyse your recent activity and suggest themes that are appearing repeatedly, so you can track them without tagging everything by hand.

How Auto-Detection Works

The AI reviews your recent catchups, meeting notes, and survey responses. It looks for topics that come up more than once across different contexts. For example, if "workload" is mentioned in three separate catchups over two weeks, the AI suggests it as a potential theme.

Suggestions appear on the Key Themes page. You can review each suggestion and decide whether to accept it as a tracked theme or dismiss it.

Reviewing Suggestions

Go to the Key Themes page.
Look for the Suggested Themes section, which shows AI-detected topics.
For each suggestion, click Accept to add it as a tracked theme or Dismiss to remove it from the list.
Accepted themes join your existing themes and begin accumulating connections as you tag future activity.

Getting Better Suggestions

The more detailed your catchup notes and meeting records are, the better the suggestions become. Sparse notes like "Discussed project" give the AI very little to work with. Richer notes like "Discussed the timeline pressure on Project Atlas and concerns about resource allocation" surface much more useful themes.

Combining Manual and Auto Themes

Auto-detection works alongside manual theme creation. You might manually create broad themes like "Career Development" while the AI picks up more specific, emerging topics like "Interview Preparation" or "Promotion Timeline". The two approaches complement each other.

Check suggested themes weekly. Dismissing irrelevant suggestions helps the system learn what matters to you, and accepting useful ones builds a richer picture of your team's recurring topics over time.
