# Giving Feedback

> How end users rate an answer, and where that feedback shows up for you.

Every agent answer carries a **Was this helpful?** prompt with a thumbs up and a thumbs down. It's the cheapest signal you will get from your users, and it lands directly next to the automated evaluations in [Chat History](/ai-agent-builder/chat-history).

## Thumbs up

Clicking thumbs up records the rating immediately — no dialog, no extra step. Clicking it again clears the rating, so a mis-click costs nothing.

## Thumbs down

Thumbs down opens a short **Provide feedback** dialog asking *"What was wrong with this response?"*. The user can pick one of five common causes:

* **Wrong chart type**
* **Incorrect SQL query**
* **Wrong data selected**
* **Doesn't answer my question**
* **Inaccurate analysis**

…or type their own explanation in the free-text box, which takes precedence over the selected option. Either way the rating and the comment are submitted together.

</Frame>

The five preset options aren't cosmetic — they map onto the stages of the agent's pipeline, so a cluster of "Incorrect SQL query" reports points you at [System Prompts](/ai-agent-builder/system-prompts) and [Golden Queries](/ai-agent-builder/golden-assets), while a cluster of "Wrong chart type" points at [Golden Charts](/ai-agent-builder/golden-assets).

## Feedback is per answer, not per conversation

The rating attaches to the specific exchange the user was looking at. A conversation where the third answer went wrong keeps that precision:

* In the **Traces** view of Chat History, the thumbs down sits on the row for that exchange.
* In the **Sessions** view, the session's **Feedback** column reflects the feedback given in that conversation, and the detail sidebar shows the rating and comment.

## Where it shows up for you

**Chat History** — the **Feedback** column in both the Sessions and Traces views. Hover a badge to read the written comment. You can filter the table on feedback to pull up every negative answer in a time range.

</Frame>

**The detail sidebar** — when you open a conversation, the metadata card carries **Feedback** and the user's **Comment** verbatim.

**In the thread itself** — a rated answer renders a read-only card beneath it saying *"User found this helpful"* or *"User found this unhelpful"*, along with their comment, so you see the rating in the context of the answer that earned it.

**Alongside evaluations** — a thumbs down on an answer that every automated [evaluation](/ai-agent-builder/agent-observability#evaluations) passed is the most interesting row in the table. It means the answer was defensible and the user still didn't get what they needed, which is usually a context problem rather than a correctness one.

## Turning feedback into a fix

The workflow that works:

1. Filter Chat History's **Traces** view to thumbs-down answers over the last week.
2. Open each one and read the user's comment, then switch to the **Observability** tab.
3. Find the step that went wrong — usually **SQL Generation** or **Chart Generation**.
4. Fix it at the source: a [System Prompt](/ai-agent-builder/system-prompts) rule if it should always apply, a [Golden Query or Chart](/ai-agent-builder/golden-assets) if it's a recurring question with one right answer.
