    Article summary

    Built on a state-of-the-art large language model (LLM) developed in-house and based on our experience delivering over six billion minutes of business conversations, Dialpad Ai can transcribe your meetings in real time, track keywords that come up in conversations, detect customer sentiment, and more!

    Let's take a look at Dialpad Ai and how it can make your day-to-day that much easier.


    Who can use this feature

    Dialpad Ai is available to Dialpad customers with Offices in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Argentina, Chile, France and Spain.
    Dialpad Ai currently supports English, Spanish, and French. 

    Turn on Ai

    By default, Dialpad Ai is turned off for newly-created User accounts, and is turned on for Departments, Call Centers, and Coaching Teams.

    If you don't see Ai as an option in your settings, contact your Dialpad Admin as they may have disabled it.

    Turn on Ai in an active call

    Ai can be turned on in the middle of a call, or at the beginning.

    If Ai is off and you'd like to turn it on during a call, simply click the Ai Off button located in the bottom bar controls. 

    Ai is instantly activated — you'll see the highlighted Ai logo in the call's bottom bar controls.

    Now, Dialpad Ai will provide you with a real-time transcript, action notes, and capture key details from your call. 

    Turn on Ai from personal settings

    Ai can also be configured for all calls.  To turn on Ai for your calls:

    1. Head to Your Settings from Dialpad.com
    2. Navigate to Dialpad Ai
    3. Check the box beside Turn on Ai for my calls 
    Tip
    If you want to have your Ai Transcript turn on at the start of every call, check the box beside Show transcript when call starts.

    Call Purpose

    Dialpad Ai automatically detects a call’s purpose, allocates a category and tags it for you, creating an easy way for Supervisors and Admins to monitor live calls.
    Call purpose categories are displayed in real-time on a Contact Center or Coaching Team's Live Calls view, as well as in the Monitor All Call Centers and Monitor all Coaching Teams views.

    Supervisors and Admins can hover over the Call Purpose Category to see the utterance that triggered the category, and click View Call to see the live transcript, or even Listen In on the call.

    Post-call, the detected Call Purpose Categories are displayed in-app, and within the call's Summary page in the Call History, as well as the Highlights section of the call's summary page.
    Click on a category, and the transcript will open, highlighting the exact moment when that Call Purpose Category was triggered.
    You'll also find Call Purpose tags in your Ai Recap.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I turn off Ai Transcripts?

    Ai Transcripts can be turned off during an active call, or by disabling Ai for the line.

    • To turn off Dialpad Ai during a call, simply select the Dialpad Ai icon from your active call controls.
    • To turn off Dialpad Ai for your personal line, head to Your Settings, then navigate to Dialpad Ai. To turn off Dialpad Ai, uncheck the box beside Turn on Ai for my calls. 
    • To turn off Dialpad Ai for your shared line, head to your Admin Settings and select the Department or Contact Center line. Navigate to Dialpad Ai, then uncheck the box beside Enable Dialpad Ai for this Department (Contact Center).

    What happens if the caller's name is unknown? 

    Dialpad Ai detects an unknown caller's name if they say it at the start of the call, then pins the name to the real-time transcript throughout the active call.

    Keep in mind that this is only for unknown callers. Caller Name (CNAM) from caller ID or a saved contact name will take precedence even if the caller says a different name at the start of the call.
