Track deflection rate (conversations resolved without human help), containment rate (conversations that stay within the chatbot), average response time, and fallback rate (how often the AI cannot find an answer). These metrics show how effectively the chatbot handles volume.
Monitor CSAT (customer satisfaction score), conversation completion rate, and escalation rate. High CSAT and completion rates mean customers are getting value from the chatbot. A rising escalation rate may indicate training gaps.
Measure leads captured, chatbot-influenced revenue, cost per conversation, and ROI. These metrics tie chatbot performance to business outcomes and help justify investment. Vatdi displays all of these on a single dashboard.

Deflection rate is the most commonly tracked KPI because it directly correlates with cost savings. However, CSAT is equally important for ensuring customer satisfaction.
A deflection rate of 40-60% is solid. Well-optimized chatbots achieve 70-80%. Track this metric over time and aim for continuous improvement.
