# How do you measure AI agent performance in customer support?

Measure AI agent performance in customer support by tracking AI resolution rate, reopen rate within a set window, CSAT on AI-handled conversations, accuracy from sampled reviews, handoff rate and quality, time to resolution, cost per resolution, and safety incidents such as wrong actions or policy breaches. Compare against human-handled tickets of the same type.

## Metric set

| Metric | Definition |
|---|---|
| AI resolution rate | AI conversations solved without a human |
| Reopen rate | Resolved conversations reopened within 7 days |
| CSAT (AI) | Satisfaction on AI conversations |
| Accuracy | Share of sampled answers judged correct |
| Handoff rate | Conversations passed to humans |
| Time to resolution | Start to solved |
| Cost per resolution | Total AI cost ÷ resolutions |
| Safety incidents | Wrong actions, data exposure |

## Review cadence

Daily during launch, weekly once stable, and after every model or instruction change.

## FAQ

### How do you measure AI accuracy?

Sample conversations and have reviewers grade them, or use an evaluation set with known answers.

### Should AI and human metrics be compared?

Yes, on the same ticket types, to see where AI performs well and where people should take over.
