Overview

AutoQA uses AI to automatically review and score support conversations against quality rules you define in plain English. Instead of manually auditing a sample of tickets, AutoQA evaluates every conversation and flags violations, giving you full visibility into agent and AI performance. Key capabilities:
  • Natural language rules — describe what to monitor in plain English and AutoQA handles the rest
  • Automatic evaluation — every conversation is scored against your active rules without manual effort
  • Configurable severity — classify violations as Critical, Warning, or Info to prioritize what matters most
  • Conversation-level scoring — each conversation receives a QA score from 0 to 5
  • Detailed review reports — see which rules passed or failed, with explanations and flagged messages

Managing QA Rules

Navigate to the AutoQA Rules page on the IrisAgent dashboard. You will see a summary of your QA program at the top:
  • Active Rules — number of rules currently being evaluated
  • Cases Scored — total conversations evaluated
  • Avg Pass Rate — percentage of evaluations that passed across all rules
  • Rules Below 90% — number of rules with a pass rate under 90%, flagged as critical
Below the summary is a table of all your rules. You can filter by All, Active, or Inactive tabs, and use the search bar to find rules by description or category.

Creating a Rule

  1. Click Create New Rule on the AutoQA Rules page.
  2. Fill in the following fields:
    • Rule Description — describe what you want to monitor in plain English. AutoQA will evaluate every conversation against this rule. For example: “Flag conversations where the agent did not verify the customer’s identity before making account changes.”
    • Category — group this rule for reporting and filtering. Options are:
      • Compliance — security, identity verification, data handling
      • Tone & Empathy — customer interaction quality
      • Resolution Quality — accuracy and correctness of responses
      • Process Adherence — procedural requirements
      • Escalation — escalation triggers and requirements
      • Custom — any other category you define
    • Severity — how critical is a violation of this rule:
      • Critical — high-impact violations that need immediate attention
      • Warning — moderate issues to address
      • Info — low-priority or informational findings
  3. Click Create Rule.
Once created, the rule is active by default and will be applied to all new conversations.

Example Rules

Here are some examples to help you write effective QA rules:
CategoryExample Rule
ComplianceAgent must verify customer identity before making any account changes
Tone & EmpathyAgent must maintain a professional and empathetic tone throughout the conversation
Process AdherenceAgent should offer a follow-up or ask if the customer needs anything else before closing
Resolution QualityAI agent must not fabricate or hallucinate product features, pricing, or policies

Editing a Rule

Click the edit icon on any rule row, or select Edit from the actions menu. You can update the description, category, and severity. When editing, you will also see performance stats for the rule:
  • Pass Rate (30d) — percentage of conversations that passed this rule over the last 30 days
  • Cases Evaluated — total conversations scored against this rule
  • Status — whether the rule is active or inactive
  • Created by — the user who originally created the rule
Click Save Changes when done.

Enabling or Disabling a Rule

Click the actions menu (three dots) on any rule row and select Disable or Enable. Inactive rules are not evaluated against new conversations but are preserved for future use.

Deleting a Rule

Click the actions menu on any rule row and select Delete. This permanently removes the rule and its evaluation history.

Reviewing QA Results

Navigate to the QA Reviews page on the IrisAgent dashboard to see evaluation results. The summary cards at the top show:
  • Reviewed (7d) — total conversations reviewed in the last 7 days
  • Failures — number of conversations that failed at least one rule
  • Critical Failures — failures involving a Critical severity rule
  • Avg QA Score — average score across all reviewed conversations (out of 5)

Filtering Reviews

Use the filter controls to narrow down results:
  • Result — filter by All, Pass, or Fail
  • Rule — filter by a specific rule
  • Severity — filter by Critical, Warning, or Info
  • Search — search by case ID, subject, or agent name

Review Details

Click on any review row to expand it and see the full evaluation:
  • QA Scorecard — lists every rule that was evaluated, showing whether the conversation passed or failed each one. Failed rules include an explanation of the violation.
  • Conversation Excerpt — shows the relevant messages from the conversation. Messages that triggered a violation are highlighted so you can quickly see the problem area.
