Live monitoring gives supervisors real-time visibility and control over ongoing calls — useful for quality assurance, assistant improvement, and human intervention. Your plan must include Live monitoring.

Live transcript

The dashboard lists all active calls in your workspace. Open one and the transcript streams in live — including interim (in-progress) transcription — so you read the conversation as it happens, with no audio needed.

Listen (silent monitoring)

Click Listen to hear the call in real time:
  • You join as a hidden participant — neither the caller nor the assistant’s behavior changes; nobody hears you.
  • Audio is receive-only.
  • Every listen-in is audit-logged (who listened to which call, when).

Whisper (coach the AI)

Send the assistant a text instruction mid-call that the caller never hears:
  • The instruction is injected into the active agent’s guidance — e.g. “offer the 20% retention discount” or “wrap up, the customer is in a hurry”.
  • Optionally trigger an immediate spoken response so the assistant acts on your instruction right away instead of on its next turn.
  • Whispers appear in the call’s audit history.

Barge-in

Need to speak yourself? Barge in to join the call audibly — a three-way conversation with the caller and the assistant. Useful for a quick correction without ending the AI session.

Takeover

Full human handover: the assistant is muted instantly — no goodbye, no further AI speech — and you continue the conversation alone. Transcription and recording continue so the call record stays complete. The takeover appears in the audit history.

Hang up

Hang up ends the call for everyone. Use it when the conversation should stop immediately — unlike Disconnect, which only leaves your supervisor view. The action is available in the monitoring UI, Public API, and MCP tool live_call_control. The call record and its transcript stay available afterward in Conversation history.

Permissions & audit

Supervisor actions are limited to authorised workspace members when Live monitoring is included in the plan. Every action leaves an audit-trail entry. Ensure your use of monitoring, recording, and intervention complies with applicable law and company policy.
During campaigns, keep the active-calls view open with live transcripts. You’ll spot prompt problems within the first handful of calls — whisper corrections in, then fix the prompt for the rest of the batch.
