Review the AI Insights banner

The permanent, dynamic banner at the top of the Dispute List View surfaces critical information in real-time:

  • P0 (Urgency & Risk): Highlights disputes due for expiry within the next seven days or less, advising immediate action to prevent auto-refunds and revenue loss.
  • P1 (Value & ROI): When no critical urgency message is present, displays the revenue amount recovered by AI Dispute Automation over a recent period.

Use enhanced list metrics

Three new columns provide at-a-glance case intelligence for efficient batch processing and prioritization:

Enhanced metrics columns in dispute list

Column NameMetric DetailFeature Use and Benefit
AI SUGGESTIONProvides a clear, single-word recommended action for the dispute: Challenge or Accept.Accelerated Triage: Instantly determines the optimal path. Use the filter banner at the top of the list to filter cases by Challenge or Accept count.
WIN PROBABILITYPredicts the likelihood of successfully winning the dispute, categorized as High, Medium, or Low. This is based on a model factoring in evidence, dispute type, and merchant history.Smarter Resource Allocation: Focus effort on High and Medium probability cases, or use the score to validate an Accept recommendation.
EVIDENCE COMPLETIONShows the percentage of required evidence fields (Key, Mandatory, Suggested) that have been completed.Actionable Focus: Quickly identify cases that are near completion (for example, 66%-100%) and ready to submit, or those requiring manual effort (for example, 0%-30%).

Filter and sort disputes

Use the AI metrics to filter and organize your disputes:

  • AI Suggestion Filter: Use the permanent filter bar at the top to filter disputes recommended for Accept or Challenge with one click.
  • Win Probability Filter: Filter by High, Medium, or Low to prioritize cases based on potential revenue recovery.
  • Evidence Completion Filter: Filter by predefined ranges (for example, 0-30%, 31-65%, 66-100%) to manage the workflow for case preparation.

Review dispute details and AI recommendations

Access detailed AI-powered insights and recommendations for individual disputes on the Dispute Detail Page.

Understand the AI Suggestion banner

Click into any dispute to display the Dispute Detail Page, which features a strategic AI Summary banner at the top.

The banner provides a comprehensive, natural language summary of the case strategy that integrates five core data points:

  • Recommended Primary Action (Challenge/Accept).
  • Predicted Win Probability.
  • Evidence Completion Rate.
  • Recommended Secondary Action (Add More Evidence and so on).
  • Rationale.

The AI translates complex data science into an immediate, easy-to-digest narrative for instant strategic understanding. You can provide in-app feedback (like/dislike) on the quality of the AI's summary and suggestions to help fine-tune the model.

Choose your action

The primary action button on the detail page aligns dynamically with the AI's recommendation:

  • Accept: Suggested when clear patterns indicate the case is highly likely to lose (for example, fraudulent dispute with no 3D Secure (3DS) liability shift or missing shipment records). Accepting saves unnecessary fees and labor.
  • Challenge: Suggested for all other cases. This button initiates the AI-guided submission flow.

The AI suggestion is advisory. You retain full control and can click Challenge to enter the manual submission flow even if Accept is suggested.

Submit a challenge using AI guidance

Use the AI-guided challenge flow to automate data collection and submit a comprehensive, high-quality defense report.

Initiate the challenge flow

To begin challenging a dispute with AI assistance, complete these steps:

  1. On the Dispute Detail page, click the Challenge button.
  2. Wait while the system automatically initiates a comprehensive analysis of the dispute to prepare the submission interface.

Review auto-filled data

The system automatically pre-populates as much evidence as possible:

  • Internal Data Extraction: All available data related to the transaction (for example, acquirer reference numbers, transaction timestamps, customer contact information) is automatically retrieved from the Airwallex database and pre-filled.
  • Business Information: Standard, reusable evidence (for example, Business Description, Refund Policy URL) is automatically extracted from your stored merchant profile details.

You can update reusable information through the Settings page, or save any edits made during the challenge flow as the new default.
