How are Assists counted
Asa pricing is based on assists — only when we meaningfully help. You’re charged when Asa actually contributes to a shopper’s journey, not just replies. No handoffs, no filler — just real value, clearly counted.
What is an assist?
An assist is counted when a conversation ends in one of two ways:
- Confirmed Assist – The shopper clearly indicates Asa was helpful (e.g. clicks “That helped” or takes a conversion action like Add to Cart).
- Unconfirmed Assist – The shopper leaves without confirming help, but also without requesting more.
How an Assist is Counted
A conversation counts as an assist if:
- The shopper confirms it was helpful by:
- Clicking That helped 👍 quick reply.
- Typing clear affirmation (e.g., "Thanks, that helps", "That solves it" etc.).
- The shopper takes a high-intent action, such as:
- Add to Cart, Buy Now, or Visit Product Page
- The shopper leaves the conversation without asking for more help.
A conversation does not count as an assist if the shopper:
- Clicks Get more help 👤 quick reply.
- Asks for further assistance or requests a human
Assist Timeframe
Shoppers have 12 hours to return to a conversation and request more help. If no further assistance is needed within that window, it counts as a Unconfirmed Assist, ultimately counted towards assists.
Note: You’re only billed for conversations where Asa provided a confirmed or unconfirmed assist. These apply only once at conversation level.
How Assist Status Tags Work
In your Inbox, each conversation is tagged based on how it ended:
- Assited: The customer is satisfied with the response.
- Confirmed Assist – The shopper clearly confirms the response was helpful (e.g. clicks That helped 👍 or takes a conversion action)
- Unconfirmed Assist – The shopper leaves without asking for more help (within a 12-hour window, it’s counted as a helpful assist)
- Unassisted: The shopper requests more help (e.g. clicks Get more help 👤 or asks for human support)
Shoppers can click “That helped 👍” or “Get more help 👤” multiple times during a conversation. The final assist status is based on the last quick reply used after Asa’s most recent response.
