What is edit rate?
Edit rate (also called edit distance rate): How much users change AI-generated content before using it, measured for example by the share of characters or words modified. A low share suggests outputs are close to what people want, while a high one shows they need substantial fixing.

Support agents change on average 12% of the words in AI-drafted replies before sending them.
