AI Continuation and Dynamic Conversations
Keep conversations going after the script ends
AI Continuation keeps your chat active after the pre-defined conversation ends.
What is AI Continuation?
When you generate a conversation, you create a finite script. But visitors might stay on your page longer than the script runs. AI Continuation solves this by:
- Generating new messages after the script ends
- Potentially introducing new participants
- Keeping the conversation feeling live and active
The "After the Last Message" Setting
Find this toggle in your Conversation settings:
| Setting | What Happens |
|---|---|
| End conversation | Chat stops after the last scripted message |
| Continue with AI | AI generates new content to keep chat active |
How Continuation Works
- Script plays out — Your generated/edited conversation runs
- Script ends — Last message is delivered
- Continuation triggers — If enabled, AI takes over
- New content appears — Fresh messages, potentially new participants
- Cycle continues — As long as visitors are present
What Gets Generated
- New messages from existing participants
- Occasional new participant arrivals
- Continued product discussions
- Fresh social proof moments
When to Enable Continuation
✅ Enable When:
- Long page visits expected — Visitors browse for 10+ minutes
- Evergreen landing pages — Always-on marketing content
- Low-effort maintenance — Don't want to constantly update scripts
- General social proof — The "buzz" matters more than specific messages
❌ Disable When:
- Video/webinar mode — Chat should end with video
- Tight message control — Every word is carefully crafted
- Short visit pages — Checkout, thank you pages
- Specific campaigns — Time-limited promotions with exact messaging
Single Participant Mode
When your participant count is set to 1 (AI Rep only):
- AI Continuation is automatically disabled
- The toggle is hidden from the UI
- Only your AI Rep greets and responds to visitors
This makes sense because continuation is about social proof between multiple participants—with only one participant, there's no one to "continue" chatting with.
Continuation Best Practices
1. Review Periodically
Even with AI continuation, occasionally check what's being generated to ensure quality.
2. Strong Opening Script
Your scripted conversation sets the tone. Make it great—continuation follows the pattern you establish.
3. Good Domain Knowledge
Continuation quality depends on your domain knowledge. Keep website context accurate.
4. Balance with Fresh Scripts
For important campaigns, create fresh scripts rather than relying solely on continuation.
Troubleshooting
Continuation messages seem repetitive?
- Update your Additional Context with more topics
- Re-analyze your website for fresh content
- Add variety to your scripted conversation
Messages don't match my brand voice?
- Review and edit generated scripts to set the tone
- AI learns from your scripted conversation style
