LevelAI

thelevel.ai
LevelAI is a SaaS company focused on improving the quality and consistency of customer conversations, particularly in contact centre and support environments. Its product sits around the day to day work of customer facing teams, using conversation data from calls and digital channels to surface what is happening in real interactions, where processes break down, and how teams can coach and improve. The underlying problem it addresses is familiar to any organisation with a large support or sales operation, it is hard to review conversations at scale, hard to spot patterns early, and hard to turn feedback into practical changes without adding more manual work for managers and agents.
