  • โ€ขImplements a 'Human-in-the-loop' (HITL) feedback mechanism where the AI model updates its scoring weights based on manager overrides, creating a continuous reinforcement learning loop.
  • โ€ขSupports multi-modal analysis, capable of transcribing and analyzing voice-based support calls alongside text-based chat and email interactions.
  • โ€ขAPI-first integration layer allows for real-time ingestion from major helpdesk platforms including Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud, and Intercom.
