Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Current insight subscriptions to Slack just send static graphs on a schedule. Customers want something smarter — an AI-generated summary of their week, highlighting global trends and notable changes, rather than just forwarding charts.

Describe the solution you'd like

PostHog AI generates a periodic (e.g. weekly) natural-language summary of product trends, key changes, and anomalies, delivered to Slack. Think of it as a replacement for scheduled insight screenshots — an AI digest instead of raw graphs.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Current insight subscriptions (graphs posted to Slack on a schedule)
  • Manually asking Max to analyze data ad-hoc in the PostHog UI

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are identified. Start by reviewing the existing scheduled insight subscriptions to Slack and the Max AI flow in PostHog; define the supported summary period, trend and anomaly scope, generation flow, and Slack delivery behavior before identifying the relevant entry points and tests. Done means a documented, tested weekly AI digest replaces or complements scheduled graph posts.
