# Analytics Implementation Tasks

## Project Overview
Implement basic analytics and user session tracking for the Atlas chat application in four phases.

---

## Phase 1: Foundation Setup
**Goal**: Set up database connection and basic infrastructure

### Tasks
- [x] **1.1** Add MongoDB dependencies to requirements.txt
  - Add `motor` (async MongoDB driver)
  - Add `python-dotenv` (already exists)
  
- [x] **1.2** Set up MongoDB Atlas free account
  - Create cluster and database
  - Get connection string
  - Add to `.env` file

- [x] **1.3** Create analytics module structure
  - Create `analytics/` directory
  - Create `analytics/__init__.py`
  - Create `analytics/database.py` with connection logic

- [x] **1.4** Test database connection
  - Simple connection test function
  - Add to startup event in app.py

**Deliverables**: Working MongoDB connection, basic module structure

---

## Phase 2: Data Collection
**Goal**: Implement session tracking and message analytics

### Tasks
- [x] **2.1** Create data models
  - Create `analytics/models.py`
  - Define Session and Message data classes
  - Add validation and helper methods

- [x] **2.2** Implement session management
  - Create `analytics/collectors.py`
  - Session creation and tracking functions
  - Session ID generation and management

- [x] **2.3** Add message tracking
  - Message analytics collection function
  - Performance timing decorators
  - Integration with chat endpoint

- [x] **2.4** Update app.py for analytics
  - Import analytics functions
  - Add analytics calls to chat endpoint
  - Add session middleware

**Deliverables**: Automatic data collection on all chat interactions

---

## Phase 3: Analytics Endpoints
**Goal**: Create endpoints to view collected analytics data

### Tasks
- [x] **3.1** Create analytics dashboard module
  - Create `analytics/dashboard.py`
  - Basic statistics calculation functions
  - Data aggregation utilities

- [x] **3.2** Add basic stats endpoint
  - `GET /analytics/stats` endpoint
  - Return JSON with key metrics:
    - Total messages today/week
    - Average response time
    - Search usage percentage
    - Active sessions

- [x] **3.3** Add simple HTML dashboard
  - `GET /analytics/dashboard` endpoint
  - Basic HTML template with charts
  - Real-time statistics display

- [ ] **3.4** Add data export endpoint
  - `GET /analytics/export` endpoint
  - CSV/JSON export functionality
  - Date range filtering

**Deliverables**: Functional analytics dashboard and API endpoints
