Summary Panel

The summary panel provides an auto-generated overview of the conversation that updates as the interaction progresses. Use it to quickly understand the situation, track what has been done, and know what comes next.

Conversation summary with situation, action, and next steps

Summary Contents

The summary is divided into three sections:

Situation

A brief description of why the customer contacted you and what their issue is. This updates as the conversation reveals more details.

Action

A list of steps that have been taken during the conversation. Each action item appears on its own line.

Next Steps

Recommended follow-up actions after the conversation ends (e.g., "Schedule follow-up call in 48 hours" or "Escalate to billing department").

Auto-Refresh

The summary refreshes automatically at a configurable interval (default: every 60 seconds). Each refresh calls the AI to regenerate the summary based on the latest conversation transcript.

You can also click the refresh button in the panel header to manually trigger an update at any time.

Editing the Summary

Both the Situation and Action sections are editable:

  1. Click the edit (pencil) icon next to the field you want to modify
  2. The field becomes editable -- make your changes
  3. Click confirm (checkmark) to save your edit, or cancel (X) to discard

Locking Edits

When you edit a field, it becomes locked -- auto-refresh will not overwrite your changes. This prevents the AI from reverting your manual corrections.

  • A lock icon appears on fields you have edited
  • Locked fields retain your text even when the summary auto-refreshes
  • Other fields continue to update normally

TIP

Edit only what needs correction. Leave unedited fields unlocked so they continue to receive AI updates as the conversation progresses.

Actions

The panel header has several action buttons:

When available, the summary panel displays the overall conversation sentiment (e.g., positive, neutral, negative) based on the AI analysis.

When the Summary Is Empty

The summary panel shows an empty state when:

  • The conversation has just started and there is not enough transcript content yet
  • The summary generation is still in progress (a loading indicator appears)
  • An error occurred during generation (the panel shows an error message with a retry option)
