Calls are taking longer.
What should change?

Find the hotspot in the numbers. Find the friction in the conversation.

Which interactions are getting longer? What do customers keep asking? This scenario shows how a Decision Agent could bring service metrics together with chat, transcripts, and customer feedback, helping a team investigate the problem and evaluate practical improvements.

Illustrative contact-center scenarioBased on the illustrative scenario in our company presentation. Conversation retrieval requires configuration for each environment. The Always-on Decision Agent and approval and execution interfaces are planned for open-source release.

An example service-quality brief

Handle time is up 23 seconds.
Where should we look first?

Compare average handle time (AHT) across service partners and inquiry types, then inspect the conversations behind the priority segment.

Start with personal-lending inquiries handled by Partner A.

02 · Read the context

What makes customers wait or ask again?

Retrieve transcripts, chat, and customer feedback for the same period and inquiry type. Look for steps that repeatedly require clarification.

  • Partner A
  • Personal lending
  • Transcripts · chat · feedback
Illustrative transcript excerpt · translated from Korean

“Let me check the documents again and get back to you.”

  • Document checks
  • Rate and limit questions
  • Internal handoffs
  • Holds and repeat explanations

Investigate whether document, rate, and limit checks are extending interactions. Recurring language provides a lead to investigate; it does not establish the cause of the delay.

What the metrics and conversations suggest

The segment contributing most to the increase warrants a closer look at repeated document and term checks.

Improvements to evaluate

Review clearer document guidance and faster access to rate and limit information against the actual workflow and supporting conversation excerpts.

How should the numbers and source conversations be checked?

The +23 sec, +51 sec, and 52% figures come from the illustrative company presentation. They have not been recalculated from source records. Verifying the contribution requires segment volumes, mix, and a defined calculation method.

A real investigation must align the AHT definition and comparison periods, then check contact volume, inquiry complexity, channel mix, and sample variability. This scenario does not establish statistical significance or causality.

Match conversations to the right customer, inquiry, channel, and time period. Retrieve only records the user is authorized to access, and keep source excerpts distinct from the agent’s interpretation.

Service metrics meet conversation context

The numbers tell you where to look.
The conversation tells you what to investigate.

A transcript summary is only part of the picture. Use defined metrics and reviewed analytical procedures to locate the problem, then inspect the relevant conversations to evaluate what could improve.

01Structured data · warehouse / CRM

Service, customer, and outcome data

Average handle time, repeat contacts, first-contact resolution (FCR), satisfaction, and post-contact conversion. Define how to compare customer groups, service partners, products, inquiry types, and channels.

02Unstructured data · conversation context

Transcripts, chat, and customer feedback

Inspect call transcripts, chat, email, and voice-of-customer (VoC) records for inquiry topics, repeated checks, complaints, and signs of churn intent. Keep the source and interaction history available for review.

Connect by customer, interaction, inquiry type, and time

Align the KPI population with the retrieved records, applying access controls and appropriate masking.

DECISION GRAPH

Define what to compare and when to inspect the conversation.

  1. 01

    Detect the change

    Use defined KPIs and a reference period to locate the segments that changed.

  2. 02

    Prioritize the investigation

    Consider impact, recurrence, sample quality, and what the team can actually change.

  3. 03

    Retrieve relevant context

    Inspect the selected segment’s interactions, customers, products, channels, and source excerpts.

  4. 04

    Build the decision brief

    Separate observations, interpretations, proposed improvements, and open questions.

The agent or business application connects conversation search and context retrieval. An implementation could use GraphRAG to navigate relationships among customers, interactions, and products. The public framework does not include built-in contact-log ingestion or GraphRAG.

Turn an investigation into better service

Evaluate a change.
Then check whether service improved.

Shorter interactions should also mean better resolution for customers. These are possible improvements for a team to evaluate, rather than actions already taken.

  1. 01

    Clarify the document-guidance script

    Check whether required documents and exceptions can be explained earlier. Start with the guidance that repeatedly needs clarification.

  2. 02

    Simplify rate and limit lookups

    Identify avoidable screen changes and internal handoffs. Agree on a practical scope for changes to the service workflow and agent desktop.

  3. 03

    Pilot a focused change

    Consider a pilot for Partner A’s personal-lending inquiries, with a comparable period and inquiry mix for evaluating the result.

Track efficiency and customer experience together.

  • Average handle time
  • Repeat-contact rate
  • First-contact resolution
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Post-contact conversion

A shorter call is not an improvement if it creates more repeat contacts or unresolved issues. Confirm implementation separately from its impact. No measured improvement is claimed in this example.

Always-on Decision Agent · Planned open-source release

Investigate the change
before the complaints accumulate.

The Always-on Decision Agent reviews AHT, repeat contacts, FCR, and emerging feedback on an agreed schedule. It investigates the conversation context and delivers a briefing on issues worth attention, the evidence, and proposed next steps.

Approval, execution, and outcomes · Planned open-source interfaces

  1. 01

    Review and approve

    An owner reviews the evidence, target inquiry type, and permitted change.

  2. 02

    Request the change

    A connected system receives the approved script, knowledge, or workflow update request.

  3. 03

    Confirm implementation

    Distinguish a received request from a completed update or a failed change.

  4. 04

    Evaluate the outcome

    Compare service KPIs and customer experience to inform the next decision.
