Hostinger Agent

A condensed walkthrough of how the Agent works, and how to read its behavior

What Hostinger Agent is now

One product, merged from two: Kodee (dashboard support) + AI Agents (credits-based task agents).

Support Mode

What it's for
Account, hosting, website issues — troubleshooting, setup, billing
Cost
Always free
Availability
Keeps working even if Agent-mode credits run out

Agentic Mode

What it's for
Bigger, agentic asks: content, SEO plans, legal docs, strategy, scheduled jobs
Cost
Billed in credits, based on complexity/length
Availability
Paused once monthly credits are exhausted
Key alignment: customers don't choose the mode — the Agent decides automatically and will suggest switching if the other mode fits better.

How does Agent in agentic mode look for the customer?

Agentic mode chat — customer view
  • Seamless experience — integrated UI
  • Request is business-related, not a Hostinger product question or issue
  • "Skills used" banner
  • Ambiguous requests are handled by the agent using context, and can switch modes as needed.
Agentic mode output and next actions
  • Skill generates an output; in the example, the outreach plan requested in markdown format.
  • It suggests next actions (that will require agentic skills) in line with the original request.
  • Credits are used upon task completion.

How does Agent in agentic mode look on HelpDesk?

HelpDesk view — agentic mode
  • Conversation view is similar for both modes
  • Main signals:
    • is_premium=true on the premium_intent_agent
    • There is a skill_invoked event
In support mode, is_premium = false

How a Conversation Actually Works

Message In

Customer or proactive trigger starts the chat

Routing

Product label assigned; re-checked on any turn

Base prompt

Initial behavioral guidelines and custom injections

Context

Past interactions, account attrs, up to 40 prior messages

Message out

Tool calling, function responses, detected language

Four sources it can pull an answer from

1

MCP Tool / Function

A wrong answer here is a debugging problem

2

Skills

Flexible, shaped by real conversation patterns

3

Knowledge

Public KB + internal raw text, knowledge-related queries that are not directly actionable.

4

Pure GPT

No hardcoded checks → more natural and engaging, but higher hallucination risk for concrete information.

The Handoff Ladder

When a customer asks for a human, the Agent escalates in steps.

1

Try to help

Answers directly, makes a light case for staying — once, at most

2

Offer a choice

Presents explicit buttons for the customer to decide

3

Loop in Guide Agent

A teammate feeds guidance behind the scenes

4

Hand off for real

Escalated to a human if needed/requested

Expected to skip the ladder when: a specialist already reviewed the case • a tool asked for a human directly • the message hit a legal/compliance keyword.

A real problem looks like the ladder skipping a step it shouldn't, or repeating one it already used.

Support mode

How does Agent in support mode look on HelpDesk?

HelpDesk view — support mode
  • is_premium=false on the premium_intent_agent
  • No skill_invoked event in support mode (if the agent switched it can appear in the same conversation)

Which issues are worth digging deeper into?

Worth

  • Repetitive cases leading to:
    • Handoff to a human
    • Conversation crashes or errors
    • Low CSAT
    • Public complaints
  • Cases that are not repetitive but pose serious security, compliance, or reputational risks

Not worth

  • Isolated cases
  • Old cases (30 days or more)
  • Spikes that have already stopped
  • Issues known to be temporary, such as downtime
  • Low-impact cosmetic issues (formatting, wording, tone, occasional AI artifacts)
  • Cases with no identifiable root cause
  • Cases where no tools were used (pure GPT)
  • Apparent patterns where similar cases actually have different, unrelated root causes
  • Patterns based on weak or insufficient analysis, rather than consistent evidence

Where to look: HelpDesk event logs (tool_call, function_response, get_knowledge_agent, handoff) and the Observability tool (KodeeTrace) for base prompts and “Why?” analysis.

From one case to a pattern

One conversation shows what happened — never how widespread it is. Before pushing something up as an “Idea,” apply this bar.

50+
conversations / week

General baseline to justify deeper trend analysis. A practical threshold for effort, not a strict reporting rule.

…unless the impact is severe enough on its own:

  • Security
  • Incorrect policy guidance
  • Significant reputation or compliance risk
  • Severe customer impact (e.g. data loss)

A lower-volume problem can still deserve attention when the consequences are disproportionately important.
