Understanding Agent Health Metrics

Your agent's health metrics provide valuable insights into how well it's serving your customers. Understanding these metrics helps you make informed improvements.

Key Metrics Explained

Response Rate

The percentage of questions your agent successfully answers. A high response rate (90%+) indicates good knowledge coverage.

Accuracy Score

Based on user feedback and human review, this shows how often your agent provides correct information. Aim for 95%+ accuracy.

Average Response Time

How quickly your agent responds. Faster is generally better, but very fast responses might indicate incomplete answers.

Escalation Rate

The percentage of conversations that need human intervention. Lower is better, but some escalation is normal for complex issues.

Health Dashboard

Your dashboard shows these metrics in real-time with historical trends. Look for:

  • Sudden drops: May indicate knowledge gaps or technical issues.
  • Gradual decline: May indicate outdated information.
  • Improving trends: Show your optimizations are working.

Acting on Metrics

Metric If Low Action
Response Rate Below 80% Add knowledge for unanswered questions
Accuracy Below 90% Review and correct incorrect answers
Speed Above 5 seconds Consider faster model or optimize knowledge

Setting Alerts

Configure alerts to notify you when metrics drop below your thresholds. This helps you catch and fix issues before they affect many customers.
