Listen in and take over calls

See every call on your lines as it happens, listen without being heard, and take over from the AI agent when a caller needs a person.

Live calls shows the calls happening right now on the lines you can see: the AI agent’s, your team’s, and callers still ringing or waiting in a queue.

Who can use it
People with the Take Over AI Calls permission and a seat. Workspace Admins and Managers have it to start

If you don’t see Live calls in the sidebar, you don’t have the permission; ask a Workspace Admin.

The list

Each row is a call in progress: who it’s with, the line it came in on, who’s handling it and how long it’s been going. Filter with All, With AI, With team and Waiting (ringing or in a queue). The list refreshes every few seconds, and a call that ends stays greyed out until you move away from the list.

Calls answered on a desk phone, outbound calls and campaign calls appear too.

Listen in

Select Listen on a call. A panel opens and you hear the call. No one on the call can hear you: not the caller, not the AI agent, not your teammate.

On a call with the AI agent, the panel shows the live transcript, with what was said before you joined above You joined. Seeing the earlier lines needs the View Call Transcripts permission.

  • You can listen to one call at a time. Listening to another stops the first.
  • The panel stays open as you move around Crulon.
  • Stop listening leaves quietly. It never ends the call.
  • You can’t listen in while you’re on a call yourself.

Every listen-in is logged. People can see who listened to the calls they took part in under Conversations > Calls > Who listened.

Take over from the AI agent

When a caller needs a person, select Take over in the listening panel, then confirm.

Crulon checks your microphone, the AI agent leaves the call, and the caller hears you. It’s the same call, with no transfer and no hold music, and it becomes a normal call in your call bar, with hold, transfer and end.

Warning

You can’t hand a call back to the AI agent once you’ve taken it over.

You can take over only while the AI agent has the call, and only if you can answer calls. It isn’t offered when:

  • a teammate already has the call
  • the AI agent is handing the call to someone
  • the caller is waiting in a queue or on hold
  • you’re on another call

The call keeps recording after you take over. Its transcript and AI summary cover only the part the AI agent handled.

You need

  • Crulon open in your browser, on a computer with a microphone.
  • Microphone access allowed for Crulon in your browser.
