Then automation works, and the bill grows at exactly the rate of your success. BoldDesk publishes flat AI rates instead — put your real numbers in. Total support conversations per month Conversations handled by AI BoldDesk customers automate up to 90% of interactions. Start at 50-60% if your help content is still maturing. 90% Avg. AI credits per conversation BoldDesk charges per AI message, not per conversation. A simple reply is about 1 credit, a detailed reply 4-5. The default assumes roughly 5 messages in a conversation. 5 2–3 · Simple FAQs4–6 · Typical7–12 · Complex Conversations that end in a resolution A metered vendor only bills a resolution, not every conversation.

It's software that understands a customer's request, decides what will resolve it, and carries that out — answering, retrieving records or triggering workflows. Unlike a scripted chatbot, it reasons through multi-step requests and escalates when your rules say it should. How is the BoldDesk AI agent priced? Every plan includes unlimited tickets, human agents, and core AI capabilities. Advanced channels, automation, and reporting vary by plan. You choose a plan by monthly AI credit volume, and human agents are unlimited: for example, Scale AI includes 500 AI credits for $99/month billed yearly. Extra credits are $40 per 1,000. BoldDesk never charges per resolution. Which channels does it work on? Live chat and web widget, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, LINE and SMS. Run one agent everywhere, or a separate agent per brand. Can it take action, or only answer? It acts. Through AI Smart Actions it calls your REST endpoints or MCP tools to look up orders, issue refunds and update accounts mid-conversation. To decide which actions run on their own and which need sign-off, see our guide to [AI agent autonomy levels](https://www.bolddesk.com/blogs/ai-agent-autonomy-levels). How do we test it before customers see it? Use the Playground to simulate real conversations and inspect every reasoning step before launch. Fix the article behind a wrong answer, re-run, then go live. How can we measure the AI agent's performance? The AI Agent Performance Dashboard in Reports shows total conversations, deflection rate (conversations handled or abandoned by the AI agent without escalation to a human), escalation rate (conversations transferred to a human agent) and AI-handled hours. You can break results down by AI agent, brand, handling type and channel. The dashboard covers chat conversations handled by published AI agents. What happens when it can't resolve something? It escalates to a human queue with a summary, the customer record and every action already taken. Complex troubleshooting and approval-gated issues escalate by design. Read more about designing an [AI-to-human handoff](https://www.bolddesk.com/blogs/ai-to-human-handoff). How many languages does it support? More than 30, matched automatically to the language the customer writes in. Your chosen tone stays consistent across all of them. Is our data safe? Tenant data is isolated and encrypted. BoldDesk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, is GDPR compliant, and supports HIPAA compliance under a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA); AI features, including the AI agent, are turned off for HIPAA-enabled accounts. The agent only ever holds the API keys and scopes you explicitly grant. ## Put an AI Agent for Customer Service in Front of Your Queue Today Point it at your own help content, test it in the Playground, and see what your queue looks like without the easy half.
