## Discover

Each assistant has an **Overview** that shows how it is doing: how many conversations it handled, how many it resolved on its own, why it handed off, and how customers rated it.

Plan & access: Startups, Business or Enterprise [Pricing & Plans](https://www.chatwoot.com/pricing?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=23980165177&utm_term=chatwoot%20self%20hosted&gclid=CjwKCAjw88HWBhA3EiwAo2Zd6HFHPs_QGMj_F2WpNhDNE0eyvUyV6IPWGvIFYndFRlar8frogtJ57BoCw2EQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAABDo-93e1Zjsr5451zEUWpEYdqY0C-&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23980165177&gbraid=0AAAABDo-93e1Zjsr5451zEUWpEYdqY0C-). Anyone who can open Captain sees the Overview. Only administrators can click a number to see the conversations behind it.

## Set up & try

### Before you start

* An assistant connected to an inbox that has handled some conversations. See [Create and connect an assistant](https://chatwoot.help/hc/user-guide/articles/1791891407-create-and-connect-an-assistant). Until an inbox is connected, the Overview shows "This assistant isn't connected to any inbox yet, so it won't respond to conversations."

### Open the Overview

1. Go to **Captain** and choose the assistant in the assistant switcher.

2. Open **Overview**.

3. Choose the period at the top: a number of days, **This week**, **Last week**, **This month** or **Last month**. The default is **This month**.

### What each number means

| Number                                  | What it means                                                                                                                   |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Conversations handled**               | Conversations where Captain replied to the customer or handed the conversation to your team                                     |
| **Auto-resolution rate**                | The share of handled conversations Captain resolved without help from your team. Higher is better                               |
| **Handoff rate**                        | The share of handled conversations Captain passed to your team                                                                  |
| **Reopen rate**                         | The share of Captain-resolved conversations that customers came back to later. Lower is better                                  |
| **Captain resolutions remained closed** | The share of Captain-resolved conversations still closed seven days later. Only resolutions at least seven days old are counted |

| **Messages per conversation**           | The average number of replies Captain sent in each conversation it handled                                                      |
| **Saved in agent effort and time**      | An estimate, based on two minutes saved for each public Captain reply                                                           |

### The other cards

* **Captain summary**: a short written summary of how the assistant is doing. It appears once there is enough activity.

* The flow chart: how handled conversations split into **Resolved by Captain**, **Handed off** and **Closed with team**, and how many Captain resolutions were **Reopened in 7d** or **Stayed closed**.

* **Handoff reasons**: why Captain passed conversations to your team: **Customer requested**, **Missing knowledge**, **Unsupported request**, **Policy restriction**, **Tool failure**, **Pending customer clarification**, **Usage limit** or **Unclassified**.

  *[Screenshot: captain-13-o2-flow.png]*

* **Resolution trend**: conversations handled and resolved by Captain over the period, compared with the previous period on matching weekdays.

* **Captain CSAT**: the average customer rating for **Captain-resolved conversations** and **Captain-assisted conversations**, compared with conversations your team handled alone.

* **Knowledge coverage**: approved FAQs against **Suggested FAQs** waiting for review. Click **Review FAQs** to go to the queue.

* **Usage**: **Credits** and **Documents** used for the account. Click **Refresh usage** to update, or **Buy more credits**.

### See the conversations behind a number

Administrators can click a number, or a handoff reason, to see the conversations behind it. Click **Load more** for more.

*[Screenshot: captain-13-o3-drilldown.png]*

The list counts "episodes". A conversation can appear more than once if Captain handled it at separate times, for example after it was reopened.

### Test it

Choose **This month**, click **Handoff rate**, and open a few conversations. Check that the handoff reasons match what happened.

| **Customer requested**                            | Often expected.

* If **Reopen rate** goes up, answers may look right but not solve the problem. Read some reopened conversations.
