Does OtterlyAI include historical data?
Overview
OtterlyAI tracks prompt performance starting from the moment you create a report. It does not collect or display historical data from before your prompt was added.

How it works (and why)?
When you create a new report and add prompts, OtterlyAI begins collecting data immediately:
- Only prompts run after report creation are tracked
- Analytics and reports include in-project activity only
- No past data is backfilled
Historical Data And Prompts
Historical data is directly linked to your prompts, not just to individual brand report. Once prompts are created, they begin collecting and storing data from that point forward.
If you use a set of prompts in a brand report and later delete that report, the historical data associated with those prompts remains in your account. When you create a new brand report using the same saved prompts, the system will continue to display data starting from the original prompt creation date.

Why this approach?
Unlike SEO tools that can analyze existing web content retroactively (because data like indexed pages already exists), prompt analytics depend on real-time tracking. If a prompt wasn’t monitored when it ran, there’s no reliable way to reconstruct that data afterward.
This ensures:
- Accurate and reliable analytics
- Clear reporting
- Consistent data collection
