The Performance Dashboard provides a central view of your AI agent’s operational metrics. The Overview tab (shown by default) tracks conversation volume, user engagement, and quality indicators at a glance. The Dashboard has eight tabs, each focused on a different area:
Performance Dashboard showing key metrics, conversation volume chart, and distribution analytics

Performance Dashboard

Accessing the Performance Dashboard

Navigate to Dashboard in the sidebar. The Overview tab is displayed by default.
You need Admin or Account Manager permissions to access the Performance Dashboard.

Key Performance Metrics

The dashboard displays four primary metrics at the top, each showing the current value and change from the previous period:
Use period comparison (shown as +/- percentages) to identify trends. A sudden change may indicate an issue or improvement worth investigating.

Dashboard Components

Conversation Volume Chart

A bar chart showing the daily number of conversations over the selected time period. Use this to:
  • Identify peak usage days
  • Spot unusual spikes or drops in activity
  • Understand weekly patterns

Distribution Charts

Distribution by User Type

A pie chart showing conversations broken down by user permission level. This helps you understand:
  • Which user segments engage most with the agent
  • Whether certain user types have different usage patterns
  • How to prioritize improvements for specific audiences

Distribution by Agent

A pie chart showing how conversations are distributed across your agents (if you have multiple). This reveals:
  • Which agents handle the most traffic
  • Load balancing across agents
  • Opportunities to redirect traffic
The agent distribution chart only appears if you have multiple agents configured. If a conversation involves multiple agents, it may be counted for each.

Advanced Metrics

Below the main charts, the dashboard shows three additional metrics:

Understanding Advanced Metrics

Returning Users indicates user loyalty and ongoing engagement. A high number suggests:
  • Users find value in the agent
  • Good user retention
  • Opportunity to track satisfaction over time
Average Messages per Thread reveals conversation complexity:
  • Lower values (1-3): Quick, efficient resolutions
  • Higher values (5+): Complex issues or potential agent struggles
  • Sudden increases may indicate problems with response quality
First Contact Resolution Rate measures efficiency:
  • Higher rates mean users get answers quickly
  • Lower rates may indicate complex topics or knowledge gaps
  • Compare against escalation rate for a complete picture

Filtering Options

Use the dashboard header filters to customize your view:

Period Comparison

All metrics include period-over-period comparison:
  • Last 7 days compares to the 7 days before
  • Last 30 days compares to the 30 days before
  • Custom range compares to an equal period immediately prior
Changes are displayed as:
  • Green with arrow up: Positive trend (or negative for metrics where lower is better)
  • Red with arrow down: Negative trend
  • Gray: No significant change

Exporting Reports

PDF Export

Click the PDF export button in the dashboard header to generate a detailed report including:
  • All key metrics with period comparison
  • Volume chart visualization
  • Distribution charts
  • Advanced metrics
The PDF includes the date range and filters applied, making it suitable for sharing or archiving.

Best Practices

  1. Check daily: A quick look at the Overview tab helps catch issues early
  2. Monitor escalation rate: Rising escalation rates often indicate knowledge base gaps or agent instruction problems
  3. Track returning users: A growing base of returning users indicates the agent provides ongoing value
  4. Investigate anomalies: Sudden changes in any metric deserve investigation
  5. Compare periods strategically: Use “Last full week” for consistent week-over-week comparisons
  6. Drill down when needed: If you see concerning trends, use other dashboard tabs (Evaluation, Feedback, Knowledge) to diagnose the cause

Interpreting Common Patterns

High Volume, Low Quality

  • Many threads but low positive evaluation rate
  • Action: Review agent instructions and knowledge base quality

Low Volume, High Escalation

  • Few conversations but many escalations
  • Action: Check if users are finding the agent or if they’re immediately escalating

High First Contact Resolution, High Messages per Thread

  • Quick resolutions but verbose conversations
  • Action: Consider if agent responses can be more concise

Declining Returning Users

  • Fewer users coming back
  • Action: Analyze feedback and evaluate whether the agent is meeting user needs
