Back to [Get started with Captain AI](https://chatwoot.help/hc/user-guide/articles/1738101283-captain-\_-introduction).

## 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). 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 [Set up a Captain assistant and connect your inboxes](https://chatwoot.help/hc/user-guide/articles/1738101547-creating-an-assistant-with-captain). 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**.

| **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                                                           |

### 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.

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.

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

* **Saved in agent effort and time** is an estimate, not a measurement.
