AI Drop-off Detection Feature

What is AI Drop-off Detection?

Our AI Drop-off Detection is an intelligent system that predicts when customers are likely to leave your website without making a purchase. Unlike traditional exit-intent technology that simply tracks mouse movements toward the browser's close button, our AI analyzes comprehensive real-time user behavior patterns to make sophisticated predictions about customer intent. The AI determines the optimal moment to engage visitors with your Rep AI chatbot, significantly increasing conversion rates and reducing cart abandonment.

How It Works

The AI Drop-off Detection engine continuously monitors visitor behavior and uses machine learning algorithms to predict the likelihood that a customer will leave your site. This goes far beyond basic exit-intent popups that only react when someone moves their mouse toward the X button - our system proactively analyzes dozens of behavioral signals to predict drop-off before it happens.

When the AI prediction score reaches your configured threshold, it automatically triggers the Rep AI chatbot to engage the customer at the perfect moment - often while they're still actively browsing and considering a purchase.

Superior to Traditional Exit-Intent

Traditional Exit-Intent Limitations:

• Only triggers when mouse moves toward close/back button
• Reactive approach - waits until customer is already leaving
• Doesn't work on mobile devices (no mouse cursor)
• Binary detection - either triggered or not, no probability scoring
• No learning or optimization over time

Our AI Drop-off Detection Advantages:

• Proactive prediction based on comprehensive behavioral analysis
• Works seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and tablet devices
• Probability-based scoring allows for nuanced engagement timing
• Continuously learns and improves from your customer data
• Detects drop-off intent minutes before traditional exit-intent would trigger

Key Behavioral Signals We Monitor

The system analyzes dozens of data points to make accurate predictions. Here are some key examples of the engagement metrics we track:

Core Engagement Metrics:

• Click Patterns: Number and frequency of clicks throughout the session
• Time on Page: How long visitors spend on each page
• Scroll Behavior: Scrolling depth and patterns indicating engagement level
• Time Between Actions: Gaps between user interactions that may signal disengagement

Advanced Behavioral Indicators:

• Time of Day: Shopping patterns based on when visitors are most likely to convert
• Day of Week: Weekly behavioral trends that affect purchase intent
• Previous Page Journey: How long visitors spent on prior pages in their session
• Bounce Patterns: Detection of immediate page abandonment behaviors
• Element Interaction: Repeated clicks or interactions with specific page elements
• Session Duration: Overall time spent browsing your store

Note: These represent just a sample of the comprehensive behavioral signals our AI analyzes. The system tracks many additional metrics and continuously identifies new patterns that indicate customer intent and likelihood to convert.

Configuration Options

Eagerness Settings

The system allows you to control how proactive the AI should be in engaging customers through configurable "eagerness" levels:

Conservative Approach (Low Eagerness: 0-0.3)

• Engages only when drop-off probability is very high (>90-95%)
• Minimizes interruptions but may miss some conversion opportunities
• Best for: Premium brands or customers who prefer minimal chat interactions

Balanced Approach (Medium Eagerness: 0.4-0.6)

• Engages when drop-off probability is moderate-high (70-85%)
• Recommended default setting for most stores
• Best for: Most e-commerce businesses seeking optimal conversion lift

Aggressive Approach (High Eagerness: 0.7-1.0)

• Engages early when drop-off probability is moderate (50-65%)
• Maximizes engagement opportunities but may feel more intrusive
• Best for: High-volume stores or businesses with complex product catalogs

Page-Specific Optimization

The AI adapts its behavior based on different page types in your customer journey:

Homepage Detection

• Focuses on visitor intent signals and browsing patterns
• Optimized thresholds for first-time visitors vs. returning customers

Product Page Detection

• Monitors product-specific engagement signals
• Considers variant selection, image viewing, and description reading patterns

Cart Page Detection

• Highly sensitive to abandonment signals
• Triggers engagement before customers leave with items in cart
