Short answer

How can I track specific phrases or sentiment in my chats?

You use the create_tracker tool to tell your agent which words or emotional tones to watch for. Your agent then monitors your communication streams and flags matches as they happen. You'll see how this works below.

The results of your tracking.

Where your alerts land.

The AI handles the scanning so you don't have to watch every message.

MONITORING

Active phrase tracking

The agent uses the tracker to scan incoming messages for your specific keywords. You get notified the moment a match occurs.

SENTIMENT

Tone detection

The agent watches for shifts in sentiment. It catches frustration or excitement in your communication channels.

REPORTING

Aggregated insights

The AI compiles flagged events into summaries. You can ask your agent for a report on how often certain topics come up.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI flags the issues, but you decide how to respond. It won't reply to customers or change settings on its own.

The workflow

What your AI does when a keyword is flagged.

The agent acts as a continuous listener, processing data through the Symbl.ai connection.

  1. Define the target

    You tell your agent exactly what to look for, whether it's a product name or a specific mood.

    create_tracker

  2. Scan the stream

    The agent continuously checks the connected communication channels against your defined criteria.

    create_tracker

  3. Identify matches

    When a phrase or sentiment matches your tracker, the AI isolates that specific moment.

    create_tracker

  4. Notify the user

    The agent presents the flagged data to you in your chat interface for review.
