AI receptionist call sentiment

Available · All plans

Know how each caller seemed to feel, before you call them back.

Call sentiment is a tag on each call for how the caller seemed to feel. Your AI receptionist tags every call it handles. The dashboard charts sentiment across calls, so you see the pattern. The tag on a single call tells you which callback to make first.

How AI call sentiment works

  1. The call is handled

    The receptionist reads the tone of the conversation as it goes.

  2. The call is tagged

    Each call gets a sentiment tag, kept with its transcript and summary. Sentiment and highlights is a processing switch on the workflow.

  3. The dashboard shows the trend

    Sentiment is one of the dashboard charts, next to inbound vs outbound, call tags and hourly volume.

Call sentiment for owners and managers

  • The owner choosing who to call first

    Three callbacks, one of them unhappy. The tag says which.

  • The manager watching the week

    A dip in sentiment on Thursday afternoons is worth a look at Thursday’s calls.

Can I filter calls by sentiment?
The dashboard charts sentiment across calls. Each call carries its own tag in Messages.
