Likelihood to Recommend
New agents are given Balto and are able to take calls successfully from day one. They take incoming calls and Balto listens to both sides of the conversation and when things are said it will prompt the agent to move forward in different ways. It also will prompt if agents are speaking too much or if the agent isn't listening and asking the same question it will prompt them.

I can not think of any scenarios where Observe.AI is not well suited and believe that the use cases are limited to the imagination of the individual creating the moments. Observe.AI is like having a personal coach for each and every one of our sales and customer service personnel. We have even rolled this out to our operations team to ensure that we have compliance with company standards on all of our calls.

  • If we get a transfer from a fellow agent it doesn't show the correct verbiage to use.
  • It takes a little too long to go from OB verbiage to IB verbiage.
