Coaching Overview

Aila Coaching provides a structured framework for managers to review calls, deliver targeted feedback, assign action items, and track team development.

Core System Capabilities

  • Scorecard Evaluations: Rate calls and evaluate criteria using standardized rubrics.
  • Timestamped Inline Comments: Anchor specific coaching notes to transcript timestamps.
  • Trackable Action Items: Assign tasks with due dates, descriptions, and resource links.
  • Two-Way Review Lifecycle: Manage feedback flow through formal review and acknowledgment states.
  • Development Analytics: Monitor individual progress, recurring coaching themes, and score trends.

Review Lifecycle and States

Aila tracks call review progress through five sequential lifecycle states:

[Not Reviewed] ---> [Pending Review (manager-feedback)] ---> [Complete (agent-acknowledged)]
                            |                                           ^
                            v                                           |

Automated QA Coaching

Aila automatically scans completed calls to generate suggested coaching questions and opportunities:

  1. Question Triggers: Questions evaluate when specific call conditions are met (e.g., duration over 3 minutes, call score under 70%).
  2. AI Analysis: Models evaluate discovery depth, objection handling, and compliance adherence.
  3. Manager Approval: Managers review suggested questions in the coaching workbench and convert them into active coaching notes with one click.
