📋 TL;DR

Autorul construiește un sistem self-improving pentru thumbnails YouTube inspirat din autoresearch loop-ul lui Andrej Karpathy. Sistemul trage date reale (500+ video-uri, CTR din YouTube API), creează eval criteria binare (12 întrebări yes/no despre thumbnail quality), iterează rapid (10 cicluri × 3 thumbnails), își îmbunătățește propriile prompt-uri automat, apoi rulează zilnic cu 4 surse de feedback: YouTube Reporting API (CTR real post-publish), ABC split tests (cel mai high-confidence signal), human feedback din iterații, și fast iterations (offline scoring). Rezultat: creștere de la 8.7/12 la 11/12 eval score în 10 iterații fără intervenție umană. Gap de performanță: thumbnail-uri vechi ~14% CTR vs noi ~3.4% CTR → sistemul învață din ce a funcționat înainte.

🎯 Puncte cheie

1. Data-Driven Eval Criteria (Not Vibes)

Process:

Scraped 180+ video-uri din ultimii 3 ani
Grupate în 3 categorii: winners (high CTR), losers (low CTR), mid
Analiză statistică pe titluri și thumbnails

Data-backed patterns:

"How to" în titlu: 50% winners vs 23% losers
"Tutorial": 44% winners vs 13% losers
Negative framing (stop, forget, RIP): doar 6% în winners
Exclamation marks: loser criteria
Questions în titlu: loser criteria

Concluzie: Criteriile bazate pe CTR real, nu pe "mi se pare că arată bine"

2. 12 Binary Eval Questions

Format: Yes/No (nu scale 1-10), eliminates ambiguity

Visual Anchor & Attention:

Single dominant visual anchor (face/graphic) taking 20%+ of frame?
Anchor conveys emotion/energy/intrigue?
Directional cues present (arrows, pointing)?

Text & Readability: 4. Text limited to 1-4 bold, high-contrast words? 5. Text readable at mobile size?

Composition: 6. Background simple and uncluttered? 7. Clear visual hierarchy? 8. Shows result/output/transformation (not just tool/process)?

Branding: 9. One or more recognizable logos present?

Packaging (pentru title): 10-12. Similar criteria pentru titlu (how-to, tutorial, avoid negative framing)

Why binary: Consistent scoring, automatable, reproducible

3. Fast Iteration Loop (Offline)

Flux:

Generate 3 thumbnails
Score fiecare vs 12 criteria (Gemini Vision)
Identify failures (criteria = no)
Rewrite generation prompt pentru a fixa failures
Repeat

Rezultate (10 iterații):

Start: 8.7/12 average score
End: 11/12 single best thumbnail
Fără feedback uman

Examples of prompt improvements:

Iteration 1: "Add emotional intrigue"
Iteration 3: "Make text much bigger and bolder"
Iteration 5: "Simplify background, remove clutter"
Iteration 8: "Increase visual hierarchy with directional cues"

Beneficiu: Better baseline ÎNAINTE de publish

4. Daily Slow Loop (Online Feedback)

Flux complet:

Create thumbnail: Using thumbnail skill + feedback memory rules
Publish video
Wait 2-3 days: YouTube Reporting API data available
Pull CTR data: Real click-through rate
Score thumbnail: Against 12 criteria
Correlate: High eval score + low CTR? = False positive
Update feedback memory JSON: New data-backed rules
Next thumbnail starts from better baseline

Example correlation:

Thumbnail scored 11/12 but got 3.4% CTR → False positive
Identify which criteria failed in practice
Update rules: "Circular logos = avoid" or "Too much background detail = reduce"

5. Four Feedback Sources

1. YouTube Reporting API (slow but accurate)

Real CTR post-publish
2-3 days latency
Objective performance data

2. ABC Split Tests (highest confidence)

Same video, same audience, different packaging
YouTube picks winner automatically
Controlled experiment = most reliable signal
Extract winner/loser criteria → feed to memory JSON

3. Human Feedback (during creation)

Author dă feedback pe iterații: "I like this, don't like that"
Subjective dar rapid
Helps refine taste preferences

4. Fast Iterations (offline scoring)

Eval before publish
Catches obvious failures
Improves baseline

Prioritizare: ABC splits > YouTube API > Fast iterations > Human feedback

6. Self-Rewriting Prompts

Mechanism:

Centralized feedback_memory.json
Conține reguli data-backed (nu vibes)
Auto-inject în generation prompts

Exemplu feedback memory:

{
  "rules": [
    {"rule": "Use 'How to' in title", "confidence": 0.85, "source": "API"},
    {"rule": "Avoid circular logos", "confidence": 0.72, "source": "split_test"},
    {"rule": "Text size minimum 48px", "confidence": 0.91, "source": "iterations"}
  ],
  "winners": [...],
  "losers": [...]
}

Every new thumbnail:

Loads feedback memory
Starts from better baseline
Incorporates all previous learnings

Result: Compounding improvements over time

💬 Quote-uri Relevante

"It's never been clearer to me that we need to create these automated loops that improve itself every single time we do them."

"You can't make up the eval criteria based on vibes. It has to be a yes/no answer."

"The split test signal is the highest confidence signal because it is a controlled experiment. Same video, same audience but different packaging."

"Every new thumbnail starts from a better baseline than the last."

"The numbers are clear. The winners were using 'how to' in the titles 50% of the time, losers 23%."

"It added specific features like make the text much bigger and bolder. It fixed the text again. It went from giving an average of 8.7 to a single 11 out of 12 in 10 iterations without giving me a single feedback."

"That video got 29,000 views. But something interesting happened when I was checking the backend stats... the impression click-through rate of this video was 8%. But I have been making videos for 3 years in the AI space and some of my older videos are hitting 14%."

💡 Insights & Idei

✅ Pattern Universal - Aplicabil pentru Echo/Marius

1. Autoresearch Loop = Eval Criteria Binare + Fast Iterations + Feedback Memory

Core concept:

Sistem care își rescrie propriile prompt-uri bazat pe date reale
Nu e specific pentru thumbnails - e un pattern universal

Componentele:

Binary eval criteria (yes/no, nu scale)
Fast iterations (offline, înainte de deploy)
Slow feedback (online, post-deploy)
Feedback memory (centralized rules, auto-inject)

Aplicabilitate pentru Echo:

A. Morning/Evening Reports

Eval criteria: Include DONE items? Calendar <48h? Insights cu quotes? Lungime <500 cuvinte?
Fast iterations: Generează 3 variante → Score → Îmbunătățește → Repeat × 5
Slow feedback: Track email open time, reply engagement, ignored sections
Memory: memory/feedback/report-rules.json

B. YouTube Processing

Eval criteria: TL;DR <150 cuvinte? 5+ puncte cheie? 3+ quotes? Tags domeniu?
Fast iterations: Procesează transcript → 3 variante summary → Score → Îmbunătățește
Slow feedback: Care insights sunt [x] executate vs [ ] ignorate? Ce domenii au engagement?
Memory: memory/feedback/youtube-rules.json

C. Coaching Messages (08:00 & 23:00)

Eval criteria: Întrebare deschisă? Sub 100 cuvinte? Ton empathic? Legat de avatar?
Fast iterations: 3 variante mesaj → Score tone/relevance → Îmbunătățește
Slow feedback: Reply rate? Depth of Marius response? Engagement patterns?
Memory: memory/feedback/coaching-rules.json

D. Calendar Alerts

Eval criteria: Alert <2h înainte? Include location? Include context? Action clear?
Fast iterations: N/A (simple alert)
Slow feedback: Snooze vs confirm rate? Ce events primesc reply rapid?
Memory: memory/feedback/calendar-rules.json

2. Binary Eval Criteria >> Subjective Scoring

De ce yes/no e mai bun decât scale 1-10:

Eliminates ambiguity: "Are 3+ quotes?" = clar; "Calitate insight 1-10?" = subiectiv
Easy to automate: Regex, simple checks, no ML needed
Reproducible: Same input → same score (nu dependent de mood)
Actionable: "No" = știi exact ce să fix; "Score 6/10" = ce înseamnă?

Pentru Echo:

✅ "Include link preview?" vs ❌ "Cât de util e link-ul 1-10?"
✅ "Răspuns Marius <24h?" vs ❌ "Cât de urgent părea 1-10?"
✅ "Git uncommitted files?" vs ❌ "Cât de important e commit-ul 1-10?"

Implementation simple:

def eval_binary_criteria(content, criteria_list):
    score = 0
    failures = []
    for criterion in criteria_list:
        if criterion['check'](content):
            score += 1
        else:
            failures.append(criterion['name'])
    return {'score': score, 'total': len(criteria_list), 'failures': failures}

3. Fast Iterations (Offline) vs Slow Feedback (Online)

Fast iterations (înainte de deploy):

Scop: Improve baseline fără a aștepta real-world data
Speed: Seconds to minutes
Feedback: Eval criteria (binary checks)
Beneficiu: Start from better baseline

Slow feedback (post-deploy):

Scop: Validate assumptions, correlate eval score cu real outcomes
Speed: Hours to days
Feedback: Real user behavior (CTR, reply rate, engagement)
Beneficiu: Detect false positives, refine rules

Pentru Ralph Workflow:

Fast: PRD generation → Self-review stories → Opus rewrite stories → Iterate (înainte de Claude Code implementation)
Slow: Deploy → Track bugs, missed dependencies, story rewrites → Feed back to PRD templates

Beneficiu combinat:

Fast = fewer bad deploys
Slow = continuous refinement based on reality

4. Multiple Feedback Sources = Higher Confidence

YouTube case (4 surse):

YouTube API (CTR real) - objective, slow
ABC split tests - highest confidence (controlled experiment)
Human feedback - subjective, fast
Fast iterations - eval-based, instant

Prioritizare: Controlled experiments > Objective metrics > Eval criteria > Human vibes

Pentru Echo:

Morning Reports:

Email open tracking (objective, medium speed) - "Open rate <1h?"
Reply engagement (objective, fast) - "Reply to which sections?"
A/B test formats (highest confidence) - "Weekly variation, track response"
Self-eval (instant) - "Binary criteria passed?"

YouTube Processing:

Insights execution rate (objective, slow) - "[x] vs [ ] ratio"
Follow-up tasks (objective, medium) - "Video generates task?"
Domain relevance (subjective, fast) - "Marius interest level?"
Self-eval (instant) - "TL;DR length, quotes count, tags present?"

Implementare:

feedback_sources = [
    {'name': 'objective_metric', 'weight': 0.4},  # CTR, reply rate, etc.
    {'name': 'controlled_test', 'weight': 0.3},   # A/B splits
    {'name': 'eval_criteria', 'weight': 0.2},     # Binary checks
    {'name': 'human_feedback', 'weight': 0.1}     # Subjective
]

def aggregate_feedback(sources_data):
    weighted_score = sum(data['score'] * src['weight'] 
                        for src, data in zip(feedback_sources, sources_data))
    return weighted_score

5. Self-Rewriting Prompts via Feedback JSON

Pattern:

Centralized feedback memory (feedback_memory.json)
Conține reguli data-backed (confidence score, source)
Auto-inject în generation prompts
Every iteration starts from better baseline

Structure exemple:

{
  "domain": "morning_reports",
  "last_updated": "2026-03-21",
  "rules": [
    {
      "rule": "Include DONE items în primele 3 paragrafe",
      "confidence": 0.89,
      "source": "email_tracking",
      "rationale": "Open rate +42% când DONE e sus"
    },
    {
      "rule": "Calendar alerts <48h trebuie bold",
      "confidence": 0.76,
      "source": "reply_engagement",
      "rationale": "Confirm rate +28% când bold"
    },
    {
      "rule": "Evită secțiunea git status dacă fără uncommitted files",
      "confidence": 0.94,
      "source": "controlled_test",
      "rationale": "Reply time -15min când skip empty sections"
    }
  ],
  "anti_patterns": [
    {
      "pattern": "Liste bullet >10 items",
      "confidence": 0.81,
      "rationale": "Ignored rate +35%"
    }
  ]
}

Auto-injection în prompt:

def enhance_prompt_with_feedback(base_prompt, feedback_json_path):
    feedback = json.load(open(feedback_json_path))
    
    # Filter high-confidence rules (>0.7)
    rules = [r for r in feedback['rules'] if r['confidence'] > 0.7]
    
    # Inject în prompt
    rules_text = "\n".join([f"- {r['rule']} (confidence: {r['confidence']:.0%})" 
                           for r in rules])
    
    enhanced = f"""{base_prompt}
    
DATA-BACKED RULES (apply these strictly):
{rules_text}

ANTI-PATTERNS (avoid these):
{chr(10).join([f"- {ap['pattern']}" for ap in feedback['anti_patterns']])}
"""
    return enhanced

Beneficiu: Compounding improvements - fiecare raport/insight/email e mai bun decât ultimul

6. Data >> Vibes

YouTube case:

Gap: 14% CTR (old thumbnails) vs 3.4% CTR (new) = 10 percentage points
Objective, măsurabil, imposibil de ignorat

Pentru Marius:

A. Clienți noi (antreprenoriat)

Vibe: "Nu știu dacă o să funcționeze"
Data: Track pitch proposals → response rate → conversion rate
Insight: "Email pitch cu case study = 43% reply vs 12% fără"

B. Support tickets ROA

Vibe: "Clientul ăsta e dificil"
Data: Track ticket resolution time, follow-up questions, satisfaction
Insight: "Video tutorial = 2.1 follow-ups vs 4.7 cu text explanation"

C. ROA features

Vibe: "Feature X e important"
Data: Track feature usage post-deploy (analytics)
Insight: "Rapoarte noi = 78% monthly active users, export PDF = 12%"

D. Echo rapoarte

Vibe: "Raportul ăsta e util"
Data: Track open rate, reply time, sections clicked
Insight: "Morning report open <1h = 64%, evening report = 31%"

Implementation pentru tracking:

# În tools/analytics_tracker.py
class FeedbackTracker:
    def __init__(self, db_path='memory/feedback/analytics.db'):
        self.db = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
        
    def track_event(self, domain, event_type, metadata):
        """Track any feedback event"""
        self.db.execute("""
            INSERT INTO events (domain, type, metadata, timestamp)
            VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
        """, (domain, event_type, json.dumps(metadata), time.time()))
        
    def get_insights(self, domain, window_days=30):
        """Extract data-backed insights"""
        # Query events în window
        # Calculate rates, patterns, correlations
        # Return ranked insights cu confidence scores

🛠️ Implementare Practică pentru Echo

Plan A: Self-Improving Morning Reports

Faza 1: Setup Eval Criteria (1 zi)

# În tools/morning_report_autoresearch.py
EVAL_CRITERIA = [
    {
        'name': 'done_items_present',
        'check': lambda report: bool(re.search(r'✅.*DONE', report)),
        'weight': 0.15
    },
    {
        'name': 'calendar_alerts_48h',
        'check': lambda report: bool(re.search(r'📅.*<48h', report)),
        'weight': 0.20
    },
    {
        'name': 'length_under_500',
        'check': lambda report: len(report.split()) < 500,
        'weight': 0.10
    },
    {
        'name': 'insights_with_quotes',
        'check': lambda report: report.count('"') >= 2,
        'weight': 0.15
    },
    {
        'name': 'git_status_if_needed',
        'check': lambda report: ('uncommitted' in report.lower()) or ('git status: clean' in report.lower()),
        'weight': 0.10
    },
    {
        'name': 'link_preview_offered',
        'check': lambda report: 'moltbot.tailf7372d.ts.net/echo/' in report,
        'weight': 0.10
    }
]

Faza 2: Fast Iterations (integrate în daily-morning-checks)

def generate_report_with_autoresearch():
    # Load feedback memory
    feedback = load_feedback('memory/feedback/morning-report-rules.json')
    
    # Enhance base prompt
    prompt = enhance_prompt_with_feedback(BASE_REPORT_PROMPT, feedback)
    
    # Fast iteration loop (5 cycles)
    best_report = None
    best_score = 0
    
    for i in range(5):
        report = generate_report(prompt)
        eval_result = eval_binary_criteria(report, EVAL_CRITERIA)
        
        if eval_result['score'] > best_score:
            best_report = report
            best_score = eval_result['score']
        
        if eval_result['score'] >= 5:  # 83%+ pass
            break
        
        # Rewrite prompt based on failures
        prompt = fix_prompt(prompt, eval_result['failures'])
    
    return best_report

Faza 3: Slow Feedback Tracking (background job)

# Nou job cron: feedback-tracker (daily 04:00)
def track_morning_report_feedback():
    """Rulează zilnic după morning report (03:00)"""
    # 1. Check email open time (Gmail API)
    open_time = get_email_open_time(latest_morning_report_id)
    
    # 2. Track reply engagement (Discord API)
    reply = get_discord_reply(channel='#echo', after=morning_report_time)
    
    # 3. Analyze patterns
    if open_time < 3600:  # <1h
        score_positive('fast_open')
    
    if reply and 'secțiune X' in reply:
        score_positive('section_X_engagement')
    
    # 4. Update feedback JSON
    update_feedback_memory('morning-report-rules.json', insights)

Estimat efort:

Setup: 4-6h (eval criteria, fast iteration loop, feedback tracking)
Maintenance: 0h (automat după setup)
Benefit: Rapoarte mai relevante, mai puține follow-up questions

Plan B: YouTube Processing Quality Loop

Faza 1: Eval Criteria

YOUTUBE_EVAL_CRITERIA = [
    {'name': 'tldr_under_150', 'check': lambda md: len(extract_tldr(md).split()) < 150},
    {'name': 'five_plus_points', 'check': lambda md: md.count('###') >= 5},
    {'name': 'three_plus_quotes', 'check': lambda md: md.count('> ') >= 3},
    {'name': 'insights_marked', 'check': lambda md: bool(re.search(r'[✅🔴]', md))},
    {'name': 'tags_present', 'check': lambda md: bool(re.search(r'@(work|health|growth)', md))},
    {'name': 'link_preview', 'check': lambda md: 'files.html#memory/kb/' in md}
]

Faza 2: Fast Iterations în youtube_subs.py

def process_with_autoresearch(transcript, title):
    feedback = load_feedback('memory/feedback/youtube-rules.json')
    prompt = enhance_prompt(BASE_YOUTUBE_PROMPT, feedback)
    
    for i in range(3):
        summary_md = generate_summary(prompt, transcript, title)
        eval_result = eval_binary_criteria(summary_md, YOUTUBE_EVAL_CRITERIA)
        
        if eval_result['score'] >= 5:
            break
        
        prompt = fix_prompt(prompt, eval_result['failures'])
    
    return summary_md

Faza 3: Slow Feedback (manual + automated)

# Track în memory/approved-tasks.md sau memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
# Când Marius marchează insight ca [x] executat:
def track_insight_execution(insight_text, video_id):
    feedback_db.record_positive('insight_execution', {
        'video_id': video_id,
        'insight': insight_text,
        'domain': extract_domain(insight_text)  # @work, @health, etc.
    })

# Lunar review (sau la cerere):
def analyze_youtube_patterns():
    # Care domenii au highest [x] rate?
    # Care tipuri de insights sunt ignorate?
    # Ce lungime TL;DR are best engagement?
    # Update youtube-rules.json

Estimat efort:

Setup: 3-4h
Maintenance: 1h/lună (manual review patterns)
Benefit: Insights mai actionable, mai puțin noise

Plan C: Ralph PRD Quality Loop

Faza 1: PRD Eval Criteria

RALPH_PRD_CRITERIA = [
    {'name': 'use_cases_defined', 'check': lambda prd: '## Use Cases' in prd and prd.count('- ') >= 3},
    {'name': 'success_metrics', 'check': lambda prd: bool(re.search(r'(KPI|metric|measure)', prd, re.I))},
    {'name': 'tech_stack_specified', 'check': lambda prd: '## Tech Stack' in prd},
    {'name': 'stories_have_acceptance', 'check': lambda prd: prd.count('Acceptance Criteria:') >= 3},
    {'name': 'dependencies_identified', 'check': lambda prd: '## Dependencies' in prd},
    {'name': 'testing_strategy', 'check': lambda prd: bool(re.search(r'test', prd, re.I))}
]

Faza 2: Fast Iterations (Opus + Sonnet collaboration)

# În tools/ralph_prd_generator.py
def create_prd_with_autoresearch(project_name, description):
    feedback = load_feedback('memory/feedback/ralph-prd-rules.json')
    
    for i in range(3):
        # Opus: Generate PRD
        prd_md = opus_generate_prd(project_name, description, feedback)
        
        # Sonnet: Evaluate vs criteria
        eval_result = sonnet_eval_prd(prd_md, RALPH_PRD_CRITERIA)
        
        if eval_result['score'] >= 5:
            break
        
        # Opus: Rewrite based on failures
        description = opus_enhance_brief(description, eval_result['failures'])
    
    # Generate prd.json
    prd_json = opus_prd_to_json(prd_md)
    
    return prd_md, prd_json

Faza 3: Slow Feedback (post-implementation tracking)

# Nou fișier: memory/feedback/ralph-tracking.json
{
  "projects": [
    {
      "name": "roa-report-new",
      "prd_score": 6/6,
      "implementation": {
        "stories_completed_no_changes": 8,
        "stories_rewritten": 2,
        "bugs_post_deploy": 1,
        "missed_dependencies": 0
      },
      "quality_score": 0.87  # Derived metric
    }
  ]
}

# Lunar/per-project review:
def analyze_ralph_quality():
    # PRD score 6/6 → quality_score high? Correlation?
    # Ce criteria au highest correlation cu success?
    # Update ralph-prd-rules.json

Estimat efort:

Setup: 5-7h (Opus+Sonnet collaboration complex)
Maintenance: 1h/proiect (manual review post-deploy)
Benefit: PRD-uri mai robuste, mai puține rewrites în implementation

🔴 Limitări și Atenționări

1. Overfitting la Date Istorice

Problema:

Optimizarea pentru "what worked în trecut" poate rata "what works NOW"
Context change: audience, trends, Marius preferences evolve

YouTube case:

Thumbnails de 3 ani în urmă: 14% CTR
Optimizing pentru acele patterns poate fi outdated

Soluție pentru Echo:

Periodic baseline reset: 1x/lună, ignore oldest 20% data
A/B test new approaches: Don't only optimize current rules, try variations
Track rule age: Decay confidence score over time (rule din 2025 = lower confidence în 2026)

Implementation:

def decay_rule_confidence(rule, current_date):
    age_months = (current_date - rule['created']).months
    decay_factor = 0.95 ** age_months  # 5% decay/lună
    return rule['confidence'] * decay_factor

2. False Positives în Eval Criteria

Problema:

High eval score ≠ high real-world performance
Eval criteria pot fi superficiale (checks form, not substance)

YouTube case:

Thumbnail scored 11/12 dar got 3.4% CTR
Binary criteria passed, dar real audience nu a dat click

Soluție pentru Echo:

MUST correlate eval score cu real outcomes
Track: eval_score vs reply_rate, open_time, engagement
Identify false positives: high eval, low outcome
Refine criteria: "What did eval miss?"

Implementation:

def detect_false_positives(threshold_eval=0.8, threshold_outcome=0.5):
    """Find reports cu high eval score dar low real engagement"""
    false_positives = []
    for report in reports_db:
        if report['eval_score'] > threshold_eval and report['outcome_score'] < threshold_outcome:
            false_positives.append(report)
            # Analyze: ce criteria au trecut dar nu ar fi trebuit?
    return false_positives

3. Slow Feedback Loop Latency

Problema:

YouTube API = 2-3 zile delay pentru CTR data
Slow to adapt la real-time changes

Pentru Echo:

Email feedback: Gmail API = same day (mai rapid)
Discord replies: Instant (dacă Marius răspunde)
BUT: Reply patterns = variabile (mood, busy-ness, etc.)

Soluție:

Combine fast + slow signals:
- Fast: Email open time (hours)
- Slow: Reply engagement patterns (days)
- Very slow: Monthly satisfaction review
Weight fast signals lower (more noise), slow signals higher (more signal)

4. Human-in-the-Loop Bias

Problema:

Dacă Marius dă feedback bazat pe vibes (nu data), loop se degradează
"Mi-a plăcut raportul ăsta" ≠ "Raportul ăsta m-a ajutat să iau decizie"

Soluție:

Prioritize objective metrics > human feedback
Ask specific questions: "Ce secțiune a fost cea mai utilă?" (nu "Ți-a plăcut?")
Track behavior, not opinions: Open time, reply time, action taken (mai reliable decât "rating 1-10")

Implementation:

feedback_weights = {
    'objective_metric': 0.5,     # CTR, reply time, open rate
    'controlled_test': 0.3,      # A/B splits
    'eval_criteria': 0.15,       # Binary checks
    'human_feedback': 0.05       # Lowest weight (most biased)
}

📊 Metrici de Success pentru Echo

Dacă implementăm autoresearch loop pentru rapoarte/insights/emails:

Baseline (Current - Unknown)

Morning Reports:

Generation time: ~5min (estimate)
Marius reply rate: ?% (not tracked)
Open time: ?h (not tracked)
Sections clicked: ? (not tracked)

YouTube Processing:

Generation time: ~3min (estimate)
Insights execution rate: ?% [x] vs [ ] (not systematically tracked)
Follow-up tasks: ? (not tracked)

Email Communication:

Draft time: ~2min (estimate)
Reply time: ?h average (not tracked)
Action items completed: ?% (not tracked)

Target (Cu Autoresearch - 3 Months)

Morning Reports:

Generation time: <3min (fast iterations reduce back-and-forth)
Marius reply rate: >70% (mai relevant content)
Open time: <1h for 80% of reports (better subject lines)
Sections clicked: Track + optimize (feedback JSON)

YouTube Processing:

Generation time: <2min (optimized prompts)
Insights execution rate: >50% [x] (mai actionable)
Follow-up tasks: 30%+ of relevant videos (better filtering)

Email Communication:

Draft time: <1min (learned patterns)
Reply time: <12h average (clearer action items)
Action items completed: >80% (better framing)

Tracking Implementation

Nou: memory/feedback/analytics.db (SQLite)

CREATE TABLE events (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    domain TEXT,           -- 'morning_report', 'youtube', 'email'
    event_type TEXT,       -- 'open', 'reply', 'execute_insight', 'click'
    metadata JSON,         -- {report_id, section, timestamp, etc.}
    timestamp INTEGER
);

CREATE TABLE feedback_rules (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    domain TEXT,
    rule TEXT,
    confidence REAL,
    source TEXT,           -- 'api', 'split_test', 'human', 'eval'
    rationale TEXT,
    created INTEGER,
    last_updated INTEGER
);

Dashboard tracking:

# Extend dashboard/index.html cu Analytics tab
# Show:
# - Eval score trends over time (improving?)
# - Outcome metrics (reply rate, open time, execution rate)
# - Correlation: eval vs outcome (detect false positives)
# - Top rules by confidence
# - Recent feedback events
