    Article summary

    Dialpad's Ai uses powerful artificial intelligence to help you drive sales, gain competitive insights, improve customer service, and get the most out of your daily meetings.

    It's so much more than a handy transcription tool (though it does that too, and in real-time!) our Ai tracks keywords that come up in customer conversations, detects customer sentiment, records action items, and even automates post-call summaries.

    Everything you need is displayed in a post-call summary pop-up that includes action items, moments, sentiment, and a transcript.

    Let's look at how Dialpad Meetings works with Dialpad Ai.

    Who can use this

    Dialpad Ai is available to Dialpad users on all plans.

    If you’re not a Dialpad user, you’ll need a Dialpad Meetings Business plan.

    Real-time transcriptions with Dialpad Ai

    You don’t have to wait until after the call to get transcriptions. With real-time Ai, you can see the transcriptions as you speak.

    To see real-time AI transcripts and notes during a meeting, select Ai Notes from the bottom bar.
