Help finserv contact centres evidence FCA Consumer Duty compliance by detecting customer vulnerability and distress in real time using Smartbot's sentiment-aware AI
Smartbot - Real-Time Sentiment aware AI for Contact Centre Compliance
Smartbot is a real-time sentiment-aware application purpose-built for financial services contact centres. It automatically identifies vulnerable or distressed customers during live interactions, helping institutions evidence FCA Consumer Duty compliance while improving customer retention and revenue growth.
The Compliance Challenge
Financial institutions must demonstrate duty of care to vulnerable customers under FCA Consumer Duty regulations. Manual monitoring is inconsistent and unscalable. Smartbot solves this by continuously analysing voice tonality and text in real time, flagging vulnerability cues such as frustration, distress, or confusion as they occur - giving compliance teams auditable evidence and agents actionable guidance.
Highlights
Smartbot automatically identifies vulnerable or distressed customers in real time during live contact centre interactions, creating an auditable compliance trail that helps financial institutions evidence FCA Consumer Duty obligations. By flagging vulnerability cues as they occur rather than in post-call review, compliance teams gain immediate visibility and agents receive actionable guidance to deliver appropriate support.
Powered by SERTS (Sentiment Evaluation in Real-time Speech), Smartbot's proprietary deep-learning algorithm analyses voice tonality and text simultaneously to detect sentiment cues including frustration, satisfaction, and vulnerability. SERTS achieves excellent results on challenging improvised datasets, competitive with state-of-the-art multimodal sentiment models.
Smartbot maps customer experience improvements directly to measurable financial outcomes including revenue growth, cost savings, and customer retention. Purpose-built for financial services contact centres, it connects real-time sentiment insights to key business metrics so leadership can quantify the ROI of CX investments and justify compliance technology spend.

Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Smartbot is sentiment-aware AI that analyses tonality to detect cues like frustration or satisfaction or vulnerability. Powered by SERTS (Sentiment Evaluation in Real-time Speech).
This listing bills under a contract with a single pricing dimension measured in SERTS Units. You pay based on the number of units you commit to, so your cost scales with that quantity. SERTS stands for Sentiment Evaluation in Real-time Speech. The software analyses call audio tonality to detect cues like frustration, satisfaction, or vulnerability. There are no separate tiers or instance-size options to choose between. All usage is priced through this one unit-based dimension.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one SERTS Unit map to when I send audio for sentiment analysis?
You send short call audio clips to a deployed endpoint, each as mono .wav, 16-bit PCM, 16kHz. Each clip can be up to 3 MB, with up to 10 clips per request. The model returns a sentiment label and a probability for every output class per clip.
Does the SERTS Unit price cover the compute I run it on?
The unit price covers the software model only. You deploy it as a SageMaker model package and create your own endpoint, recommended on ml.m5.xlarge for real-time inference or batch transform. The underlying AWS compute, storage, and endpoint running time are billed separately by AWS.
Do I need to send a separate transcript along with the audio?
No. You send only the raw call audio, base64-encoded in a JSON request. The model analyses tone of voice and what is said together, so no separate transcript is required. This multimodal approach combines tonality with the words spoken in one request.

Sushi ML Studio is no-code machine learning that runs in your browser, on your own EC2 instance. Upload a CSV or Excel file, pick the column you want to predict, and it trains and compares against many scikit-learn models, tells you in plain language how good the best one is, and adds predictions to new spreadsheets. Your data never leaves the instance, and you keep the model file and the Python code that reproduces it.
