# Incident Summaries

Are you looking at an incident midway and wondering what has happened so far? You can view AI generated summaries for incidents during any point of the incident lifecycle and quickly catch up with the timeline and progress that has been made, team members involved in triaging, resolution steps determined, meeting links to join war room discussions, and much more.

This feature is currently a beta offering. Feel free to share your feedback with us and we will be happy to engage and discuss the same. You can also optionally either upvote or downvote on the summaries generated for incidents and let us know via the prompt shown as to why you did not like the summary generated, in case of a downvote.

## Understanding Incident Summaries

Each generated summary for an incident will have the following structure:

1. **Timestamp** of the time when the summary was generated
2. **Status** of the incident - Triggered, Acknowledged or Resolved
3. **Impacted Service(s)** - List of the impacted Service and it’s affected dependent Services
4. **Incident Owner** - We assign the impacted Service owner as the owner of the incident by default
5. **Participants** - List of responders for the incident
6. **Timeline** - AI summarised life cycle progress and updates of the incident so far
7. **Resolution** - AI summarised resolution reason and next steps determined (available only for incidents in the Resolved state)
8. Ability to provide **feedback** for the generated summary
