Performance reports

Measure your AI Agent’s performance with a variety of detailed reports. This article outlines the individual reports, what they measure, and how the various filters work. Unless otherwise noted, you can view these reports by going to Performance > Reports in your Ada dashboard.

By default, these reports don’t include data from test users. That means that when you’re testing your AI Agent, you don’t have to worry about skewing your report results.

Learn about each report

Click a report name below to expand it and learn about the metrics it includes. Note that the reports that are available in your AI Agent may vary based on your Ada subscription. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact your Ada team.

For more information on the filters you can use to refine your report data, see the Filter the data that appears in a report section of this page.

Actions usage

Provides visibility into how often Ada is performing each action, and highlights errors with full log download functionality - allowing your team to troubleshoot effectively. You can access this report through the Reports tab (under Performance) in the left navigation menu or directly through the report icon at the top of the Actions Hub.

Metric	Definition
Conversations	The number or percentage of conversations where a specific Action was used. Click on this number to see these conversations filtered in the Conversations View.
API calls	The total number of API calls made by an Action.
Error Rate	The percentage of failed API calls made.
AR rate	The percentage of conversations that your AI Agent determined were automatically resolved. Your AI Agent calculates this with the formula `Resolved conversations / (Resolved conversations + Not Resolved conversations)`.
Containment rate	The percent of conversations that did not result in a handoff to human support.
CSAT	The percent of conversations customers reviewed positively, out of all conversations they reviewed.

Agent satisfaction score

View customer satisfaction (CSAT) surveys where the scores are attributed to human support, available if the “Automatically survey after chat” option is turned on.

When you filter this report by date, it uses the date that the user submitted their satisfaction survey, rather than the date the conversation started. As a result, the number of conversations that appear in this report may vary from other reports.

There are four ways you can set up customer satisfaction reviews, each with different scales for recording feedback:

Rating type	Negative review	Positive review
Numeric (5-point scale)	1, 2, or 3	4 or 5
Numeric (10-point scale)	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6	7, 8, 9, or 10
Emoji (5-point scale)	😠, 🙁, or 😐	🙂 or 😍
Thumbs up/down (binary)	👎	👍

Metric	Definition
Live chat score	The percent of agent reviews that were positive. Your AI Agent calculates this with the formula `SUM (positive agent reviews) / SUM (all agent reviews) * 100`.
Agent name	The name of the agent who spoke with the customer immediately before the customer provided the review. If multiple agents interacted with the customer in the same conversation, even if only one agent’s name appears in this list, all of the agents in that conversation are assigned the customer’s CSAT score. Agent names appear in this list if they have at least one review in the time periods selected for either data display or for comparison.
Avg score	The percent of agent reviews that were positive.
# of positive	The number of agent reviews that were positive.
# of negative	The number of agent reviews that were negative.
Total # of surveys	The total number of agent reviews.

Automated resolution rate

The automated resolution rate is an analysis of how many conversations your AI Agent was able to resolve automatically.

To calculate the automated resolution rate, your AI Agent analyzes each completed conversation to understand both the customer’s intent and the AI Agent’s response. Based on that analysis, it then assigns a classification of either Resolved or Not Resolved to each conversation.

For a conversation to be considered automatically resolved, the conversation must be:

Relevant - Ada effectively understood the customer’s inquiry, and provided directly related information or assistance.
Accurate - Ada provided correct, up-to-date information.
Safe - Ada interacted with the customer in a respectful manner and avoided engaging in topics that caused danger or harm.
Contained - Ada addressed the customer’s inquiry without having to hand them off to a human agent.

While Containment Rate can be a useful metric to get a quick glance of the proportion of AI Agent conversations that didn’t escalate to a human agent, automated resolution rate takes it a step further. By measuring the success of those conversations and the content they contain, you can get a much better idea of how helpful your AI Agent really is.

Your AI Agent will only assess for automated resolution when a conversation has ended. When viewing the automated resolution rate graph, a dotted line may appear to indicate that recent conversations may not have ended and therefore may cause the automated resolution rate to fluctuate once they’re analyzed. For more information on how the conversation lifecycle impacts automated resolution, see automated resolution rate.

In this list, you can view a summary of what each customer was looking for, how your AI Agent classified the conversation, and its reasoning. If you need more information, you can click a row to view the entire conversation transcript.

Metric	Definition
Automated Resolution Rate	The percentage of conversations that your AI Agent determined were automatically resolved. Your AI Agent calculates this with the formula `Resolved conversations / (Resolved conversations + Not Resolved conversations)`.
Containment Rate	The percent of conversations that did not result in a handoff to a human agent.

Average handle time

View the average amount of time customers spent talking with your AI Agent, for conversations that didn’t end in handoffs to human support.

This report uses winsorization on all of its metrics. To handle outliers, your AI Agent calculates the 90th percentile of all handle times. If a handle time is higher than the 90th percentile limit, your AI Agent replaces it with the 90th percentile limit instead.

Metric	Definition
Avg handle time when contained	The average amount of time customers spent talking with your AI Agent, for conversations that didn’t end in handoffs to human support.
Avg handle time before escalation	The average amount of time customers spent talking to your AI Agent before handoff, for conversations where customers escalated to human support.
Avg handle time with agents	The average amount of time customers spent talking to live support agents.

Containment rate

View how often customers were able to self-serve instead of escalating to human support.

Metric	Definition
Containment rate	The percent of conversations that did not result in a handoff to human support.

Metric	Definition
Number of conversations	The number of conversations where a customer sent at least one message to your AI Agent.
Messages sent	The number of conversations (y-axis) that contained a given number of messages your AI Agent sent (x-axis). In the example above, where AI Agent messages are counted in parentheses `()`, this conversation would fall under 8 AI Agent messages. Each response bubble counts as a single message, excluding messages that indicate a live agent has joined or left the chat.
Customer messages received	The number of conversations (y-axis) that contained a given number of messages customers sent (x-axis). In the example above, where customer messages are counted in square brackets `[]`, this conversation would fall under 6 customer messages.
Agent messages	The number of conversations (y-axis) that contained a given number of messages agents sent (x-axis). In the example above, where agent messages are counted in curly brackets `{}`, this conversation would fall under 3 agent messages. Emojis, links, and pictures all count as agent messages for this report.
Number of messages (x-axis)	The number of each type of message per conversation. Roughly 95% of conversations have fewer than 45 messages of any one type, which is why the upper end of the scale groups all conversations with 45 or more of any one type of message.
Number of conversations (y-axis)	The number of conversations that fall in each quantity of messages.

Conversations breakdown

View the number of conversations initiated, engaged, and escalated in your AI Agent.

Metric	Definition
Opens	The number of conversations where a customer opened your AI Agent and was presented with a greeting. Every conversation contains one greeting. The entire series of messages that may be sent counts as one greeting, but only one needs to be sent for it to count as an open.
Engaged	The number of conversations where a customer sent at least one message to your AI Agent. A conversation counts as engaged once a customer sends a message, regardless of whether your AI Agent understands the message.
Escalated	The number of conversations where a customer requested an escalation to human support.
Automatically Resolved	The number of conversations that your AI Agent automatically resolved. Before July 31, 2024, this number was approximated based on the automated resolution rate (`AR%`) of a sample of your conversations, and was calculated with the formula `# of engaged conversations x AR%`. The calculated number of automatically resolved conversations was subject to the error margin of the calculated `AR%`. For more information, see Understand and improve your AI Agent’s automated resolution rate.
