The Intelligence Funnel: Transforming Customer Support with Observability Layers

Most support teams review maybe 2% of their customer interactions. The rest? Lost to time, buried in call logs, or sitting in chat transcripts nobody reads. You're making decisions based on a tiny sample while the real insights slip away.

We built the Intelligence Funnel to fix that. It's our way of automatically adding layers of intelligence to every single customer interaction, turning raw conversations into something you can actually use.

What Actually Happens

Think of it like this: a customer calls in. That call gets processed through eight layers, each one adding something useful. By the time it reaches the end, you've got a complete picture of what happened, how the customer felt, whether your agent followed process, and what you should do about it.

The old way? Someone manually reviews a handful of calls each week. The Intelligence Funnel? It processes everything, in real time, automatically.

The Eight Layers

Here's what each layer does and why it matters:

1. Transcription

$1 per hour

Every voice call becomes searchable text. No more hunting through recordings. Need to find all calls where someone mentioned a specific product issue? Search for it. Want to see how agents handle refund requests? Find every instance. It's all there, instantly searchable.

This is the foundation. Without it, you can't do much else. With it, your entire voice history becomes a searchable database.

2. AI Sentiment & Tagging

$0.075 per interaction

The system figures out how customers are feeling. Frustrated? Delighted? Confused? It knows, and it tags every interaction automatically. No more manual categorization. No more waiting for someone to review and label things.

When a customer is about to churn, you'll know immediately. When a new issue starts trending, you'll see it in real time. The system routes critical cases to the right people before they become bigger problems.

3. AI Metrics

$0.075 per interaction

This is where conversations turn into numbers. Did the agent show empathy? How complex was the problem? Did the solution actually work? These are things you couldn't measure before. Now you can.

Create custom KPIs that matter to your business. Track things that weren't trackable. Turn qualitative feedback into quantitative data you can act on.

4. Knowledge Base Context

$0.035 per interaction

The system pulls in relevant information from your knowledge base, product docs, and policies. It's like giving your analysis tools the same context a human analyst would have. The AI understands your business rules, knows your products, and can reference your policies automatically.

This means better decisions. The system knows when something violates policy. It knows when an agent should have referenced a specific procedure. It has the full picture.

5. AI Process

$0.075 per interaction

Automatically catches when agents skip steps, violate compliance rules, or miss required procedures. It spots workflow inefficiencies and surfaces opportunities to streamline operations.

You'll know immediately when someone doesn't follow process. You'll catch compliance issues before they escalate. You'll see patterns that show where your workflows need improvement.

6. Human in the Loop

$15 per review

Sometimes you need a human to validate what the AI found. This layer lets you review flagged interactions directly in your CRM. No switching between tools. No context switching. Just review, correct if needed, and the system learns from it.

It's quality assurance without the hassle. Review critical decisions, fix mistakes, and train the system, all in one place.

7. Coaching

$5 per agent per month

Every agent gets personalized coaching based on their actual performance. The system identifies specific improvement opportunities, suggests actionable feedback, and tracks progress over time.

No more waiting for annual reviews. No more generic training. Each agent gets feedback tailored to what they actually need to improve, based on real data from their interactions.

8. Observability

$0.03 per interaction

Everything comes together in one dashboard. All your KPIs, alerts, and trends from every system, unified. Set custom alerts that trigger automatically. Never miss a critical issue.

This is the final layer that makes everything useful. Without it, you've got data scattered everywhere. With it, you've got a single source of truth that shows you what's happening across your entire operation.

Why This Works Better

Traditional QA samples a tiny fraction of interactions. You're making decisions based on maybe 2-5% of what's actually happening. The Intelligence Funnel processes 100% of interactions. Every single one.

That means no blind spots. You'll catch issues before they become trends. You'll see the full picture, not just a sample. You'll make decisions based on all your data, not a fraction of it.

It's also real-time. You don't wait days or weeks for insights. You know what's happening right now. You can respond immediately when something goes wrong. You can see current performance, not historical snapshots.

And it scales. Manual analysis doesn't. The Intelligence Funnel automates analysis across millions of interactions. Same quality, lower cost, faster results.

Real Results

Teams using the Intelligence Funnel are seeing actual improvements:

• 95% fewer undetected customer issues
• 85% faster response to negative sentiment
• 100% of interactions analyzed, not just a sample
• 90% less time spent on manual QA
• 75% faster issue identification
• 60% better agent coaching effectiveness
• 50% fewer compliance violations

Better customer experience drives retention and growth. Automation reduces costs. Complete visibility gives you a competitive advantage. Early detection prevents problems from escalating.

How It All Fits Together

The layers build on each other. Transcription creates the foundation. Sentiment analysis adds emotional context. AI metrics turn conversations into numbers. Knowledge base context provides business information. AI process ensures compliance. Human validation catches mistakes. Coaching improves performance. Observability unifies everything.

Each layer makes the next one more powerful. Together, they create a complete understanding of every customer interaction that's impossible to achieve with traditional methods.

Getting Started

You don't have to enable everything at once. Start with what gives you the most immediate value:

1. Transcription - Make all your voice calls searchable
2. AI Sentiment & Tagging - Understand customer emotions automatically
3. Observability - Unify everything into one dashboard

Then add more layers as you need them. AI metrics for custom KPIs. Knowledge base context for better decisions. AI process for compliance. Human validation for quality. Coaching for agent improvement.

What This Changes

This isn't just a better way to do QA. It's a different way to think about customer support.

Instead of sampling interactions and analyzing them manually, you're analyzing everything automatically. Instead of waiting for insights, you're getting them in real time. Instead of making decisions based on a fraction of your data, you're using all of it.

The Intelligence Funnel lets you understand your customers at a depth and scale that wasn't possible before. Every interaction becomes useful. Every conversation becomes data. Every insight becomes actionable.

Frequently Asked Questions
