Turn On the Lights in Your Contact Center: Introducing Conversation Intelligence

Imagine being a coach who can only watch 2% of your team’s practice sessions, catching brief glimpses of individual plays while missing the full story of how your team performs and develops.

That’s how most contact centers operate today—despite having a wealth of customer conversations happening daily, leaders can only review a tiny fraction, leaving countless opportunities for team growth, strategic insights, and customer experience improvements undiscovered.

The Blind Spots in Customer Service

Across the industry, contact center leaders face the same frustrating reality:

1. Limited Visibility: Most quality assurance teams can only review 2–5% of calls. The majority of customer conversations go unanalyzed, keeping leaders in the dark about why customers are calling, how to address issues, and how to best develop their agents.

2. Keyword-Obsessed Tools: Legacy QA systems measure agent performance based on rigid keyword spotting rather than the true quality and outcomes of calls. By rewarding simple script adherence over good judgment and empathy, these tools fail to prepare agents for the increasingly complex issues they must address as AI automates more routine conversations.

3. Analysis Over Action: Critical insights remain buried under terabytes of unstructured conversation data. Leaders have to spend an incredible amount of time analyzing and making sense of the data, instead of making strategic decisions that improve business processes and build customer loyalty. 

The consequence? Contact center leaders are forced to make decisions based on incomplete information. They miss patterns that could transform agent performance, overlook recurring customer pain points, and fail to spot opportunities for automation that could free up their team. 

A New Way Forward: Turning Every Conversation into Insights

After automating over 500 million minutes of customer service calls for industry leaders like Doordash, ADP, and AAA, we’re excited to introduce Replicant Conversation Intelligence—a breakthrough solution that transforms every customer conversation into actionable insights.

Unlike traditional tools that transcribe and only analyze flat transcripts—like reading a movie script instead of watching the film—our first-of-its-kind solution uses advanced audio language models to understand conversations in their full richness.

By analyzing audio directly, we capture everything that makes conversations complex: emotion, nuances in pronunciation, tone of voice, background noise, and all the subtleties that text alone misses.

How Conversation Intelligence Transforms Contact Centers

Eliminate After-call Work: Save your agents’ time with accurate, AI-generated call summaries that seamlessly integrate with your CRM, letting agents focus on what truly matters—helping customers.

Evaluate Agents on Customized Call Outcomes: Measure agent performance using your company’s QA scorecard, focusing on conversation outcomes instead of rigid keyword triggers. This ensures accurate, consistent scoring aligned with your company’s business standards.

Supercharge Agent Performance: Provide agents with clear, personalized recommendations that highlight specific areas of improvement—all written in natural, easy-to-understand language.

Solve Problems at Their Root: Replicant uncovers the underlying drivers of contact volume, giving leaders the insights they need to proactively resolve issues, reduce call volume, and improve customer satisfaction.

Build Evergreen Knowledge Bases: Keep your knowledge base fresh by collecting how your best agents answer questions. Our AI mines conversations for common questions and agent responses to help you build a dynamic knowledge base that can be used to train your agents or power your automation. 

Find Opportunities to Automate: Analyze every call to uncover opportunities for automating high-volume, routine tasks, unlocking time for agents to handle more complex, impactful work.

Effortless Implementation: Get powerful insights in days, not months. Simply connect your existing call recordings and QA scorecards—no complex integration or lengthy setup required. Your team can start discovering actionable insights immediately.

Real Results: Fanatics’ Journey

With these powerful capabilities, contact centers can harness the full potential of their customer conversations. Fanatics, a global leader in sports e-commerce, was our first customer and design partner, who switched to Conversation Intelligence from an existing vendor whose pace of innovation had stagnated. Within just three months of implementing Conversation Intelligence, Fanatics achieved remarkable results.

“What used to take me literally hours to do for one site, and probably a full day for all sites, is now taking me minutes. And that’s not an exaggeration.” – Nigel Ponds, Global Director of Workforce Management, Fanatics

Fanatics now analyzes 100% of their calls—not just a small sample. In their first week, they identified a common order modification issue affecting 5% of calls, which was dragging down NPS scores, leading to lost revenue and incurring high additional shipping costs. After addressing this issue, they saw:

• Call volume for this problem dropped to nearly zero
• Significant improvement in NPS
• Recovered revenue

Nigel Ponds, Global Director of Workforce Management at Fanatics, summarizes it best:

“With Replicant, we’ve unlocked a new level of visibility into what drives calls to our contact center. The platform’s insights have empowered us to identify patterns, improve processes, and implement AI automation where it matters most.”
