# Conversation Features Fields

## Overview

Conversation Features Fields are enrichment fields extracted from conversation tickets.

Birdie calculates them from the messages inside each conversation.

These fields help you filter conversations by:

* response speed
* message volume
* handoff behavior
* participant activity
* conversation duration

Use them when you want to analyze operational behavior, not just customer sentiment or text content.

{% hint style="info" %}
These fields are available for conversation-based sources that include message timestamps and participant metadata.
{% endhint %}

## How these fields work

Birdie groups these fields by participant type:

* **Agent** = human support agent
* **Bot** = automated assistant
* **Agent Or Bot** = the full business side of the conversation
* **Customer** = the end user
* **Conversation** = the conversation as a whole

Most field names also follow a pattern:

* **Duration Seconds** = elapsed time in seconds
* **Messages Count** = number of messages
* **Turns Count** = number of exchanges
* **First Posted At / Last Posted At** = first or last message timestamp
* **Response Delay** = wait time between one side sending a message and the other replying

### Common use cases

You can use these fields to answer questions like:

* Which tickets had a slow first agent response?
* Which chats were handled mostly by bots?
* Which conversations required multiple agent handoffs?
* Which tickets had long total duration but few customer messages?
* Which chats ended with a bot versus a human agent?

## Tips for filtering

When building filters with these fields:

* use **duration** and **delay** fields for SLA-like analysis
* use **messages count** and **turns count** for complexity analysis
* use **first posted** and **last posted** fields for time-based slicing
* use **last agent or bot** fields to analyze who closed the interaction
