+## Admin Analytics UI & Persistence
+
+ServiceStack's AI Chat now includes comprehensive chat history persistence and analytics capabilities, providing deep visibility into AI usage patterns, costs, and performance across your infrastructure. Choose between `DbChatStore` for universal RDBMS compatibility or `PostgresChatStore` for optimized PostgreSQL performance with monthly table partitioning—both ensuring consistent performance as history grows.
+
+The Admin UI Analytics dashboard delivers actionable insights through three key views: **Cost Analysis** tracks spending across providers and models with daily and monthly breakdowns, **Token Usage** monitors input and output token consumption to identify optimization opportunities, and **Activity Log** maintains a searchable audit trail with full conversation details. These visualizations enable data-driven decisions about provider selection, cost optimization, and help debug AI features in production by capturing every request and response flowing through AI Chat's UI, external OpenAI endpoints, and internal `IChatStore` requests.
