Frequently asked questions

Can I break it down per agent?

Yes. Include the assignee in the ticket data and ask the AI to summarize backlog per agent so ownership is clear.

How do I keep the summary short?

Cap the number of tickets you feed in (e.g. oldest 50) and instruct the AI to keep the summary under a set word count.
