Collaborators discussing work around a shared table

Interaction atlas

The moments that matter when people talk to an in-app AI assistant—named so product, analytics, and support share one vocabulary.

Eight interaction types we routinely measure

Use this atlas when scoping a baseline or pathway engagement. Each entry is a candidate event—not a dashboard template.

First open

User reveals the assistant for the first time in a session or account lifetime.

Prompt commit

User submits text or a suggested prompt—the moment intent becomes measurable.

Reply received

Assistant delivers a complete response the user can read or act on.

Rephrase loop

User revises the same intent after an unsatisfactory reply.

Suggested action

User follows a button, link, or workflow the assistant proposed.

Human handoff

Conversation escalates to support or another human channel.

Silent exit

Panel closes without a follow-up action in the product.

Return visit

User opens the assistant again after a prior completed or abandoned session.

How teams use the atlas

During an Assistant Interaction Baseline we mark which of these moments you already capture, which are noisy, and which are missing. Pathway and signal engagements then tighten definitions for the moments that drive your product decisions.

The atlas is guidance for scoping—not a product catalogue or automated report.
