    New agents are given Balto and are able to take calls successfully from day one. They take incoming calls and Balto listens to both sides of the conversation and when things are said it will prompt the agent to move forward in different ways. It also will prompt if agents are speaking too much or if the agent isn't listening and asking the same question it will prompt them.

    Observe.ai is incredibly well
    suited for uncovering trends. The accuracy of their transcripts paired with how
    easy it is for any user to find insights helps us tap of data you would think would
    be impossible to get, or at least in a very slow and manual process (listening
    to call samples, 1 call at a time it’s a thing of the past now).

    This simplicity of use and the power
    of their machine learning and AI applications have proven to be particularly
    helpful for us to boost our agent performance and training.

    Observe.ai is still at the early stages
    of real-time agent assist, so I would not recommend it right now for that type
    of application.

    Their UI is very easy to navigate and understand. Most features are easily accessible and they seem well balanced and connected with each other. Users at our company have been trained with good proficiency levels in just a few hours, and high proficiency can be achieved in a week or less if you spend the time to practice.
