What you get

Conversation intelligence your supervisors will actually use.

Listening to recordings doesn’t scale. TalkChief reads the calls you choose to transcribe, brings the ones that matter to the top and shows the patterns behind them.

Product illustrations use fictional companies, people and figures.

Transcripts & summaries

Understand a call without replaying it.

Every eligible recorded call becomes a speaker-by-speaker conversation with timestamps you can click to jump the recording. One click adds an AI summary with key points and action items, written in the language of the call — escalated calls get theirs automatically.

  • Sentiment, intent and resolution labeled on each transcribed call
  • Member and customer on separate sides, easy to scan
  • Opens straight from the call reports your team already uses

AI escalations

Know which calls need a supervisor — before the customer calls back.

TalkChief flags calls where a customer asked for a manager, threatened action or was very upset, where a member was rude, or where a complaint or cancellation was left unresolved. Each one gets a High, Medium or Low severity, its reasons and the line where it happened.

  • Escalations inbox with a severity filter and Open and Acknowledged tabs
  • Open the call at the escalation line, highlighted in the transcript
  • Acknowledge with a note, so everyone sees who handled it and how
  • Switch detection on for the whole company or per team
Your own escalation rules

Tell TalkChief what an escalation means in your business.

Describe one thing that can be heard in a call, in any language — a customer asking for a refund, say. TalkChief rewrites it as one clear condition and checks it on examples that should and should not match. Then test the draft on your recent calls to see which ones it would flag, and activate it.

  • Choose the severity, who must say it, and the whole company or one team
  • Edits are saved as a new draft while the active version keeps working
  • Email alerts per team, at the minimum severity each supervisor chooses
  • Post escalations to a CoWork channel, with the call summary

AI insights dashboard

See how every team and member is really doing.

Customer sentiment over time, why customers call, resolution and escalation rates and team and member scorecards, taken from the calls themselves rather than after-call forms nobody fills in.

  • Every chart explains itself: what it shows, the business question it answers and how to use it
  • Filter by team, member and date range; key numbers compare with the previous period when earlier data exists
  • See when problems happen with a day-and-hour heatmap
Deep Insights · included

Find out why customers call — and which problems never get fixed.

Deep Insights picks out the issues customers raise, the products they are about and how those calls end. The same issue in different words, or in English, Arabic, Italian, French or Spanish, is grouped under one label, so you see which problems drive unresolved and escalated calls.

  • Why customers call, week by week, with the share left unresolved
  • Issue → product → outcome: resolved, not resolved, unclear or escalated
  • Resolution by member and reason, to see who needs coaching on what

Spot churn risk and the customers who keep calling back.

See which competitors customers mention and what share of those calls carry churn risk, with the customer’s original wording a hover away. Repeat callers are listed with their issues, so you know whom to call back first — shown as Caller #1, Caller #2, never by phone number.

  • Repeat callers and the issues they called about
  • Included with AI transcription at no extra cost

FAQ

AI call transcription FAQs.

What is AI call transcription?
AI call transcription turns a recorded phone call into text automatically, split by speaker and time-stamped. TalkChief also labels every transcribed call with sentiment, intent and resolution, and can write an AI summary with key points and action items (automatically for escalated calls, in one click for others), so a supervisor can understand the call without listening to it.
Which calls are transcribed?
Once an admin turns it on for the company, selected teams or selected members, TalkChief transcribes their recorded inbound, outbound and queue calls automatically. Admins choose the call types and a minimum call length; shorter calls are skipped and never charged. Internal calls between members are never transcribed, and calls made before it was turned on are not processed.
Are AI summaries created for every call?
Escalated calls get their summary automatically, so it is ready when a supervisor opens the alert. For any other transcribed call, a summary is generated with one click in a few seconds and then kept with the call.
Which languages does it work in?
English, Arabic, Italian, French and Spanish, among other supported languages. Language is detected automatically, including calls that switch language mid-sentence. Summaries are written in the language of the call, right-to-left languages display right-to-left, and labels such as intent and sentiment follow each user’s interface language.
How much does AI call transcription cost?
The AI Call Intelligence add-on is $10 per member per month, or $120 per member per year on yearly plans, and includes 1,500 transcription minutes per member each month. Minutes beyond that cost $0.01 per minute from the company wallet. The first month’s fee is prorated from the day it is turned on, and the full 1,500 minutes apply immediately. Escalations, AI insights and Deep Insights are included at no extra cost.
Which plans can use it?
The add-on is available on the Growth and Professional plans. An admin enables it in Settings → AI transcription for the whole company, selected teams or selected members.
What counts as an escalation?
A call is flagged when, for example, the customer asks for a manager, threatens legal or public action or is very upset, when the member is rude or dismissive, or when a complaint, cancellation or repeat contact ends unresolved. Each escalated call gets a High, Medium or Low severity, its reasons and the line where it happened. Low covers calls worth a look but rarely urgent, such as an upset customer whose issue was resolved. Escalation detection is switched on for the whole company or per team.
Can we define our own escalation rules?
Yes. Describe one thing that can be heard in a call, in any language, such as a customer asking for a refund, and choose its severity, who must say it and whether it applies to the whole company or one team. TalkChief rewrites it as one clear condition, checks it on examples that should and should not match, and lets you test it on your own recent calls before you activate it. Up to 10 rules can be active at once, and they apply to calls processed after activation.
How are supervisors notified about escalations?
Each admin or supervisor chooses email alerts per team and a minimum severity: High only, High and medium, or all including Low. By default, supervisors get emails for High escalations on their teams. Escalations can also post to a CoWork channel, with the call summary, so the whole team sees them. Customer numbers show only the last 4 digits unless you choose otherwise. Handled calls are acknowledged with an optional note and move to the Acknowledged tab.
What is Deep Insights?
Deep Insights connects what customers talk about across your calls: why they call, which issues and products come up and how those calls end, which competitors are mentioned and how often those calls carry churn risk, and which customers call back about the same problems. The same issue said in different words or another language is grouped under one label. Repeat callers are shown as Caller #1, Caller #2 and so on, never by phone number.
Does Deep Insights cost extra?
No. Deep Insights is included with AI transcription at no extra cost. It appears for admins and supervisors once AI transcription is on for the company, a team or a member.
How is semantic search different from keyword search?
Keyword search finds the exact words. Semantic search also finds calls that mean the same thing in other words or another language, so a search for “buy” also returns calls where the customer said “purchase” or “order”. Exact-word matches are listed first, followed by calls marked “Similar meaning”.
Who can see transcripts and escalations?
Admins see their whole company and supervisors see their own teams. Agents do not have access to transcripts, escalations, call search, AI insights or Deep Insights.
Is there an API?
Yes. Developers can also send a recording to the AI Transcription API and receive a diarized, per-speaker transcript, billed at $0.015 per minute with a one-minute minimum, then per second.
