Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| Problem domain | Route to |
|---|---|
| Building a coaching program or training cadence | /sales-coaching {user's question} |
| Reviewing a specific call transcript for coaching | /sales-call-review {user's question} |
| Choosing between note-taker/conversation intelligence platforms | /sales-note-taker {user's question} |
| CCaaS platform comparison/selection | /sales-ccaas-selection {user's question} |
| General CRM/tool integration patterns (Zapier, webhooks) | /sales-integration {user's question} |
Otherwise, answer directly using the platform reference below.
Step 3 — Level AI platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — modules, pricing, integrations, data model, workflows.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation.
Implementation priority order:
- Connect your CCaaS first — call data must flow before anything else works
- Configure InstaScore with a starter scorecard (5-8 criteria) — validate transcription accuracy on 50+ calls before trusting scores
- Calibrate QA — have human reviewers score the same 20-30 calls and compare to InstaScore. Adjust criteria until alignment is acceptable
- Roll out coaching workflows — use screen recordings and QA findings to identify coaching priorities
- Enable AgentGPT for real-time guidance once post-call QA is stable
- AI Virtual Agent last — requires the most tuning and governance
When comparing to competitors:
- vs Observe.AI: Similar scope. Level AI differentiates on semantic intelligence (intent-based, not keyword). Observe.AI has more mature VoiceAI/ChatAI agents and 250+ integrations. Both ~$150-200/agent/mo.
- vs Cresta: Cresta targets larger enterprises with Knowledge Agent and deeper virtual agent capabilities. Level AI is more accessible for mid-market.
- vs CallMiner: CallMiner has deeper post-call analytics and compliance for regulated industries. Level AI has stronger real-time agent assist. CallMiner averages ~$102K/yr.
- vs Balto: Balto deploys in weeks and leads in real-time guidance. Level AI combines real-time with post-call QA in one platform. Balto is ~$100-150/agent/mo.
If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.
- Call ingestion can be delayed 24+ hours. G2 reviewers report calls not appearing until the next day, making same-day QA monitoring unreliable. Ask about ingestion SLAs during evaluation.
- InstaScore accuracy requires calibration. AI QA scores won't match human QA out of the box — scoring issues tied to language barriers and subjective criteria. Start with binary/objective criteria and run a calibration period against manual scores.
- Sentiment analysis misclassifies neutral conversations. Users report neutral conversations flagged as negative. Don't rely on sentiment alone for coaching decisions — cross-reference with QA scores.
- No public pricing. Estimated ~$185/agent/month. Custom quotes required — pricing varies by agent count, modules, and contract length.
- API exists but is not publicly documented. GraphQL-based per their engineering blog. Enterprise customers get access — ask your account team for the API spec during evaluation.
- Mid-market focus may limit scalability for very large operations. The platform excels at 100-1,000 agent contact centers. For 5,000+ agents, also evaluate Observe.AI, Cresta, or NICE CXone.

Examples
Example 1: Setting up automated QA
User says: "We manually review 3% of calls. How do I set up InstaScore in Level AI to auto-score everything?" Skill does:
- Reads platform guide for InstaScore module
- Explains 100% auto-scoring with custom scorecards — define criteria, assign weights, auto-evaluate all interactions
- Walks through scorecard creation with binary criteria (compliance, verification) and scaled criteria (empathy, resolution)
- Recommends a 2-week calibration period comparing InstaScore to manual reviews Result: User has a plan to move from 3% manual sampling to 100% automated QA
Example 2: Comparing Level AI vs Observe.AI
User says: "We're evaluating Level AI and Observe.AI for our 300-agent insurance contact center" Skill does:
- Compares both platforms on QA, real-time assist, compliance, integrations, and pricing
- Notes Level AI's semantic intelligence vs Observe.AI's post-call analytics depth
- Highlights Observe.AI's more mature VoiceAI agents vs Level AI's stronger mid-market positioning
- Recommends piloting both with 20-30 agents over 30 days Result: Side-by-side comparison tailored to insurance contact center requirements
Troubleshooting
InstaScore QA scores don't match manual evaluations
Symptom: Auto-scores diverge significantly from human QA reviewer scores Cause: Scorecard criteria may be too subjective, transcription errors affecting scoring, or language barriers causing misclassification Solution: Make criteria binary where possible ("Did agent verify identity?" not "Was the opening professional?"). Run calibration on 30 calls with human reviewers. Check transcription quality — poor transcription = unreliable scoring regardless of criteria.
Calls not appearing or delayed ingestion
Symptom: Calls from today aren't visible in the platform, 24+ hour delay Cause: CCaaS integration pipeline processing lag — known issue in G2 reviews Solution: Check CCaaS integration status in admin panel. Verify call recordings are flowing from your telephony system. Contact Level AI support if delays exceed 24 hours consistently. For same-day monitoring needs, evaluate Balto for real-time visibility.
AgentGPT not surfacing relevant guidance
Symptom: Real-time assist shows generic or irrelevant knowledge articles during calls Cause: Knowledge base not properly configured or not mapped to the right call contexts Solution: Review your knowledge base content in Level AI — articles need clear topic tagging. Test with specific call scenarios. AgentGPT uses semantic matching, so ensure knowledge articles use language similar to how agents and customers discuss topics.
