What is contact center AI?
AI, or artificial intelligence, is a technology that enables machines and computers to perform tasks usually carried out by humans. Machine learning and natural language processing (which you’ll often hear when people talk about AI) are branches, or applications of AI.
Contact center AI (or CCAI) is the specific application of this technology for use in—you guessed it—contact centers. Generally, CCAI used to automate repetitive tasks and empower agents to deliver a better customer experience more efficiently.
Live transcriptions
Dialpad Ai can transcribe calls—in real time. (And it can do it more accurately than almost all competitors out there.) Not only that, it also delivers a call summary afterward with action items to the agent on the call. And thanks to machine learning, the more you use Dialpad Ai, the more accurate it gets.
💡 Fun fact:
Dialpad Ai can even automatically tell the agent if they are speaking too quickly or using too many filler words.
Sentiment analysis
What if a supervisor could see customer satisfaction levels for every call their agents are on—in real time? Dialpad Ai can identify whether a call is going positively or poorly and show managers the sentiment of all active calls so they can spot problems quickly and jump in to help agents—before things go south.
Speedier QA
Accelerate quality assurance (QA) reviews, reduce compliance risks, and improve agent adherence with Dialpad's Ai Scorecards. Instead of supervisors having to review call recordings manually, Dialpad Ai automatically suggests when QA Scorecard criteria have been met and highlights coaching opportunities.
Real-time coaching (at scale)
Managers can’t listen to every call (and agents probably wouldn’t want them hovering constantly). Dialpad’s Ai Agent Assist feature automatically searches all connected knowledge sources (even unstructured sources like PDFs and past customer calls) to provide help information to agents live as tricky questions come up.
[RTA cards] really helped us build out the way we train CSRs, [as it] pulls up guidance for them right away as opposed to making them reach out to someone else.

Ai CSAT
Not getting enough responses on your CSAT surveys? Dialpad's industry-first Ai CSAT feature can infer customer satisfaction from conversations—without customers having to fill out any surveys! Not only does this give you a more holistic understanding of your true CSAT scores, it also gives you a much larger sample size of feedback to use in agent training.
Live guidance for sellers on calls
With Dialpad's Ai Playbooks, coaches and supervisors can track rep adherence to sales methodologies like BANT, SPICED, and SPIN more easily. Dialpad Ai can automatically suggest questions and phrases that they need to say during a call (for example, asking about budget or purchase timelines), understand whether the behavior was met, and check the task off the list (or notify managers if this isn't being done).
Custom APIs
With Dialpad’s APIs, you can build custom integrations and automations for your organization’s specific dialog flows and customer interactions. For example, if your contact center agents regularly collect payment information over the phone, there’s an API that automatically pauses call and screen recording to help you stay compliant!

Dialpad Ai Contact Center vs. other contact center platforms
🌟 Native capabilities
- Owns all of its own technology and features—including AI, real-time transcription, omnichannel, and self-service chatbot functionality.
- Typically needs partner integrations / third-party tools to provide full range of functionality, like AI, transcription, and omnichannel support.
⏰ Time-to-Value (TTV)
- Setting up a new contact center takes as little as a few minutes thanks to Dialpad’s cloud-native platform and menu-driven self-configuration.
- Setting up new users can take days or weeks, requiring significant professional services involvement.
📈 Scalability
- Incredibly easy to scale up and down—you can add and remove call queues, and hundreds of users all on your own!
- Can scale up (more easily with cloud than on-prem platforms), but difficult to scale users back down if business is only seasonally busy (even for cloud solutions).
💰 Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Dialpad offers transparent pricing, high-value bundles of capabilities, and support is always included in all plans.
- May entice customers with a low initial price point that doesn’t include many needed features.
Other essential contact center functionality to look for
Simple call routing
With Dialpad’s easy-to-customize ACD and IVR (interactive voice response) menus, your human agents can focus on high-value tasks like helping callers with complex problems instead of manually routing calls. Dialpad’s built-in analytics even show you which IVR options are being used most (and least) so you can continuously improve and streamline the self-service experience!
