What is the Hear AI assistant integration?

Hear now allows you to link external AI assistants like Claude directly to your workspace to query customer conversation data without manual exports. This integration enables sales, marketing, and CX leaders to access deep insights from calls and chats within the AI tools they already use, accelerating decision-making and streamlining workflows.

  • Direct integration: Connect external AI assistants to Hear via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  • Seamless querying: Ask questions about customer trends, reports, and call transcripts without leaving your preferred AI tool.
  • Manager access: Available for all accounts for users with Manager permissions and above.
  • Secure data scoping: Maintains strict role-based access control for all external queries.
  • Enhanced productivity: Eliminates the need for manual data exports or copy-pasting transcripts.

How the AI assistant integration works

Hear uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create a secure bridge between your customer conversation corpus and external AI environments. By enabling this feature, managers can use an assistant like Claude to retrieve specific data points from the Analytics and Insight area of the Hear platform. This allows for natural-language querying of complex datasets, such as identifying recurring customer pain points or summarizing sentiment across hundreds of recent calls.

The integration is designed to respect the existing security architecture of Hear. When a user queries data through an external assistant, the platform enforces role-based data scoping. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected and that users only access the logs, calls, and reports they are authorized to view within the native Hear interface.

Why this matters for contact center leaders

CX and operations leaders often rely on a variety of specialized tools to manage strategy and performance. Previously, moving data from a contact center intelligence platform into an external LLM required manual effort, which created friction and delayed insights. With this release, the intelligence gathered by Hear becomes a portable resource. Whether you are drafting a strategy memo in an AI document editor or analyzing market trends in a chat interface, your Hear data is now available to provide evidence and context.

Additional platform improvements in this release

Beyond the AI assistant integration, this release includes several updates to the Quality and Coaching and Compliance and QA areas of the platform to improve accuracy and user experience.

Enhanced audio and transcription tools

We have introduced an Audio Boost feature to improve the clarity of customer recordings. To further assist with coaching, transcripts now synchronize with audio playback, highlighting text in real-time as the recording plays. This makes it easier for managers to review specific moments in a conversation and provide targeted feedback.

Advanced reflection agents and automation

The Hear reflection agent has been updated to support scheduled AI tasks, allowing for more consistent monitoring of customer signals. We have also improved the feedback loop for conditional alerts; when a manager provides feedback on a signal, the system can now suggest direct edits to the signal logic rather than defaulting to a prompt-based change. This ensures that your automated QA processes remain precise and easy to maintain.

Security and administrative updates

To support larger organizations, we have hardened our team management actions and introduced proactive inactivity warnings for user sessions. Administrators can now deactivate user access more efficiently, and the platform now supports automated monthly invoice generation for opted-in organizations via Stripe and Green Invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI assistants can I connect to Hear?

Who has permission to use the MCP integration?

The integration is enabled for all Hear accounts. However, for security reasons, it is restricted to users who hold a Manager permission level or higher.
