Why we did this

The product records everything an AI session does, but there was nowhere to read it: a link promised a session's full story and went nowhere.

What happened

Two mocks: one session read at four levels, from receipt to raw events, and a bake-off reading it as a chat. Not finished yet: the timeline, footprint map and final page were never built.

Also in this cycle
  • When a rule blocks something, it appears like an app posting an alert in a team channel. In words
  • Showing full prompt text and keeping sessions short enough to read were written down as open questions, not settled. In words
  • The chat idea later became shared transcript parts, used on the product's Session Details page. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c77-D1 Design for the engineer reading their own session first; the CISO receipt is the first finished piece. — Mark Parson

c77-D8 Try the transcript in familiar chat styles; familiarity is the ramp, not the destination. — Mark Parson

So now

A session can now be read: first as a layered record with a receipt on top, then as a chat people already know how to read.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c77-D7 Everything is worked out by fixed rules for now; AI-written titles are liked but parked. — Mark Parson

So now

One page shows a session four ways: a receipt, chapters, the full conversation, and the raw events.

Thanks to

People outside Qpoint first. Every thank-you points at something they said or made.

Ruled the seven framing questions

Chose engineer-first with the receipt as the first finished piece, replay only, full text for now with privacy kept in view, and fixed rules over AI summaries; then asked to try familiar chat styles.
