Live at a metropolitan municipality's 153 hotline

Every call scored.Every agent improving.

AI that listens to every contact-center call, scores it on the customer's own quality form, and ties each answer to the moment in the call.

Summary · manager briefing
Manager briefing: 910 calls, team score 77.4, up 11.1 points; focus on the closing announcement, missed in 47% of calls

The blind spot

A hotline taking 1,400 calls a day records 50 hours of audio.
One QA specialist can listen to seven.

Heard
7 h
Never heard
43 h · no score, no coaching, no record

Coaching runs on a sample

Supervisors coach from the few calls they happened to hear.

Feedback without proof

Agents dispute a score that comes without the recording.

Failures stay invisible

A dropped transfer or a wrong answer rarely reaches a report.

Volume from the hotline's signed technical specification (~1,400 calls/day). Assumes ~7 h of net listening per specialist per day.

The solution

One system that hears every call
and turns it into action.

Press play.
Watch a call get scored.

A simulated citizen call. Each criterion lights up at the second it is met, with the timestamp as evidence. The score lands when the call ends.

Simulated recording with AI voices. The same flow runs on every real call at the hotline.

One call, two readings.
The difference: 77 silent seconds.

The left lane is this recording's real transcript. It shows the words, never the 77 seconds the caller spent waiting.

  • 0:00Customer service, this is Emma. How can I help you today?
  • 0:04Hi. My bill this month is twice the usual amount.
  • 0:10Let's take a look. Could I have your name and customer number?
  • 0:19Thank you, Mr. Carter. I'm opening a case for you. Could you hold for a second, please?
  • 0:25Sure.
  • 0:30Hello?
  • 1:00Hello? Are you still there?
  • 1:30Sorry to keep you waiting. Your case is open.

✗ FailHold rule

The left lane is this recording transcribed by Whisper large-v3 turbo, uncorrected (shortened). It heard both “hello?”s but stamped them at 0:30 and 1:00, spread across the silence, and put the agent's return at 1:30. Red: a wrong time.

Scoring

Scored on your form.
With proof.

  • The customer's own QA form, criterion by criterion, not a generic sentiment score.
  • Evidence for every answer: the transcript line and timestamp a QA team can check in seconds.
  • Blank when unsure. No guessed scores; the criterion is left out of the total.
  • Humans stay in charge. Every AI answer can be corrected, and the score follows.

The 93% sample is small; a blind re-score by the QA specialist on a larger set is planned. We publish the weak criteria next to the strong ones on purpose.

Coaching

Scores don't sit in a dashboard.
They become practice.

  • Every criterion against the team, for every agent, every week.
  • A ready coaching note with the exact call and minute to listen to.
  • The team's habits, not one person: the briefing names the topic for the next training.
  • Measured week over week, so improvement is a number, not an anecdote.

AIRA · the AI analyst

Managers ask in plain words.
AIRA answers with the call.

  • On WhatsApp, where managers already are: no new tool to learn.
  • Names, numbers and the evidence call in every answer.
  • Briefings and alerts arrive before anyone asks.
  • Read-only access, scoped to the customer's own data.

Sophie Turner: opening and active listening met on only 53.8% of her calls (team 87.7%). Example: Sophie Turner · 10/3/2026, where the caller was sent to the website instead of the request being logged.

Systems that evaluate workers are high-risk (Annex III). Ours ships evidence per answer, human override and blank-when-unsure. GDPR: call data stays in the EU, never trains a model, one tenant per institution.
