Understanding AI resolutions in SparrowDesk

AI Agents can resolve customer queries independently without human involvement. This article explains what qualifies as an AI resolution, how SparrowDesk identifies them, and how you can track usage for billing purposes.

What is an AI resolution?

An AI resolution occurs when an AI agent independently understands a customer request, provides the appropriate response, and completes the conversation without a human agent’s intervention.

A conversation is considered AI-resolved when either of the following conditions is met:

Confirmed resolution

After Luna’s final response, the customer sends an affirmative reply such as:

• “Thank you”
• “That helped”
• “It worked”

There must be no exchanges after this in the next 24 hours. This confirms that the AI has successfully resolved the issue.

Assumed resolution

• After Luna’s final response, the customer leaves without replying
• And, there are no further exchanges after that for 24 hours

The resolution may be confirmed or assumed. In both cases, the conversation is counted as an AI resolution and included in billing.

What does not count as an AI resolution?

• Conversations with follow-up questions from the customer within the next 24 hour 
• Conversations handed off to a human agent

These interactions are not counted as AI resolutions and are not billed.

How AI resolutions are identified

After the AI sends its final reply, SparrowDesk waits 24 hours before evaluating the conversation for an AI resolution.

If a confirmed or assumed resolution is detected:

• The conversation is marked as AI resolved
• The resolution is included in AI resolution billing

Significance of the 24-hour cooling period for AI resolved tickets

There is a 24-hour cooling period before the evaluation for AI-responded conversations.

This cooling period ensures that:

• Only completely resolved conversations are counted as AI resolutions

What happens after the cooling period?

If the customer sends a new message after 24 hours, it is treated as a new conversation, even if:

• It continues in the same thread
• It carries the same conversation ID

These follow-up messages do not affect the original AI resolution count.

Why the 24 cooling period matters

The cooling period ensures that AI resolution billing remains:

• Fair
• Accurate
• Aligned with actual usage

In most cases, messages sent after 24 hours relate to a new issue, which should be evaluated and resolved independently.

The diagram below shows how SparrowDesk determines whether a conversation qualifies as an AI resolution.

Tracking AI resolutions

You can track AI resolutions from both the AI agent dashboard and the billing page.

Accessing the Luna dashboard

1. Log in to SparrowDesk
2. Click Luna in the left panel
3. View AI resolutions alongside routed and handled conversation counts

Accessing billing details

1. Log in to SparrowDesk
2. Click Settings
3. Select Billing under Workspace
4. Click Usage details

Here, you can see:

• Total AI resolutions for the current billing cycle
• Corresponding usage cost

Important: The first 30 AI resolutions are free in SparrowDesk. Subsequent AI resolutions will be charged appropriately. See pricing

Best practices for better AI resolutions

To improve the AI agent’s resolution accuracy and effectiveness:

• Keep knowledge base content up to date
• Add clear and well-structured answers
• Train on common and recurring support scenarios
• Review AI-resolved conversations regularly
• Check and act on optimization suggestions in the Improvements tab

Following these practices helps ensure higher resolution rates and more reliable AI performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does an AI resolution cost? 

AI resolutions cost $0.70 per resolution. However, the first 30 AI resolutions are free and the billing starts only from the subsequent ones.  For more information read: AI copilot and AI resolution billing.

2. Does an assumed resolution cost the same as a confirmed resolution?

Yes. Both assumed and confirmed resolutions cost $0.70. The resolution type doesn't affect the cost.

3. Are AI resolutions billed if a customer replies after 24 hours?

No. Messages sent after the 24-hour cooling period are treated as a new conversation and do not affect the current AI resolution.

4. What happens if a conversation is reopened during the cooling period?

If the customer replies within the 24-hour cooling period, the conversation is not considered AI-resolved.

5. Are AI resolutions counted if a human agent later joins the conversation?

No. Any conversation that is handed off to a human agent is excluded from AI resolution billing.

6. Where can I see AI resolution usage for my workspace?

You can view AI resolution counts in the Luna dashboard and on the Billing → Usage details page for the current billing cycle.

7. Why are assumed resolutions counted as billable AI resolutions?

If a customer does not respond after receiving relevant information, SparrowDesk treats the issue as resolved. This ensures billing reflects successful AI-assisted outcomes, even when customers don’t explicitly confirm.
