What is this feature?
The Conversation AI is an advanced feature that leverages AI technologies to enhance customer interactions and automate the appointment booking process. It consists of two primary modes:
Suggestive Mode:
In this mode, AI generates real-time predictive text suggestions to assist users in responding to customer messages. The suggestions appear as options, allowing users to either send the AI-suggested message as is, customize it before sending it, or dismiss the suggestion.
Auto-Pilot Mode:
This mode fully automates responses to inbound messages using AI to guide customers toward booking appointments. If an inbound message is received, the system waits 2 minutes before calling the GPT API to account for multiple potential messages.
Please note:
The availability of the Auto-Pilot mode will be limited to a private beta for now and a select group of users has been shortlisted for testing and feedback purposes., while the Suggestive mode will be accessible for all users.
The system design follows certain conditions for start, sleep, and end states, including manual user intervention, out-of-context responses, and appointment link delivery. It uses the last 10 conversations or up to an 800-word limit for prompt engineering, ensuring context-sensitive responses.
This feature can be integrated into a variety of live channels, including SMS, Google My Business (GMB), Facebook (FB), and Instagram (IG). It employs advanced usage and pricing models based on message generation while also providing the capability for performance tracking with detailed metrics.

How to Rebill Conversation AI?
Adjust Rebill Amount: This step is crucial if you plan to rebill your customers for using the AI service.
Head to the SAAS Configurator in your Sidebar. Scroll down on the right to Conversation AI.
Enter the amount you plan to charge your customers per message. For instance, if your cost is $0.05 per message and you want to profit, you could charge customers $0.07.
In this rebilling example, you, as an agency, bear the $0.05/message cost. You then charge your customer $0.07/message, 1.4 times your cost. This results in a profit of $0.02/message. With $10, you can generate approximately 145 messages.
You can change the rebilling multiplier for individual SAAS accounts by heading to Sub-Accounts> Scrolling to that sub-account> Manage Client (or clicking on their name.)
