Chat Counts, Messages, Characters

AI Bot Kit tracks all key usage statistics for your chatbot. These metrics help you measure engagement, monitor limits, and optimize performance.


1. Chat Counts

  • Definition: The total number of individual chat sessions started with your bot.

  • Why It Matters:

    • Shows how many people are actively engaging with your chatbot.

    • Helps you compare activity trends over time (daily, weekly, monthly).

  • Tip: If you notice a high number of chats but low conversions, refine your bot’s greeting message and fallback responses.


2. Messages

  • Definition: The total number of messages exchanged between users and your chatbot.

  • Why It Matters:

    • More messages usually mean deeper engagement.

    • Sudden spikes may indicate customers are seeking more detailed support.

  • Plan Limits: Each plan includes a set number of monthly AI messages (e.g., 50 in Free, 1,000 in Basic, 2,000 in Essential, 3,000 in Business). Monitor this metric closely to avoid hitting limits.


3. Storage Characters

  • Definition: The number of characters (text data) stored in your chatbot’s knowledge base.

  • Why It Matters:

    • Each plan comes with a maximum storage allocation (1M in Free Full Access, 10M in Basic, 20M in Essential, 30M in Business).

    • Storage is used for documents, pasted text, and URLs you train your bot with.

  • Tip:

    • Keep your knowledge base clean — remove outdated or irrelevant content.

    • Use multiple bots if you have different departments or product lines (to spread out storage).


Example Use Case

  • A company starts with 50 chats and 200 messages in the first week.

  • The storage shows 2M characters used out of 20M (Essential plan).

  • Insight: The bot is being used actively, but plenty of space remains to add more FAQs or product documents.


Quick Recap:

  • Chat Counts = How many conversations started.

  • Messages = Total exchanges during those chats.

  • Storage Characters = Size of your training data.

Monitoring these together gives you a complete picture of chatbot usage and when to scale up.
