Agent Chat is BuildBetter’s next-generation AI assistant. Instead of simple Q&A, it acts as a research agent—planning multi-step investigations, searching across your entire workspace, and delivering comprehensive analysis with every claim backed by evidence you can verify.

What Makes Agent Chat Different

Research, Not Just Answers

The agent plans its approach, searches multiple data sources, cross-references findings, and builds a complete picture before responding

Evidence-Backed

Every insight includes clickable citations to the original call, signal, or document so you can verify and dig deeper

Deep Analysis

Run multi-phase investigations that analyze patterns across hundreds of conversations, not just surface-level keyword matching

Context-Scoped

Ask questions scoped to a specific person, company, document, folder, or signal for precise, focused results

How It Works

When you ask Agent Chat a question, it doesn’t just search and summarize. It:
  1. Plans the investigation — Breaks your question into research steps and determines which data sources to query
  2. Searches your workspace — Queries calls, signals, documents, people, and companies across your entire dataset
  3. Cross-references findings — Connects patterns across different sources, time periods, and customer segments
  4. Synthesizes results — Delivers a structured analysis with evidence, not just a list of matches
  5. Cites everything — Every claim links back to the original source so you can click through and verify
You can watch the agent work in real-time. As it researches, you’ll see which tools it’s using and what data it’s pulling—full transparency into how it reaches its conclusions.

What You Can Do

Deep Customer Research

Go beyond simple searches to understand what’s really happening with your customers:
  • “What are the top 5 reasons enterprise customers churned in Q4, and what did they say in their last calls?”
  • “Compare how our biggest accounts talk about pricing versus how mid-market customers do”
  • “What patterns do you see across all calls with [Company Name] over the past 6 months?”

Cross-Source Analysis

The agent connects insights across your entire workspace:
  • “What feature requests keep coming up in both support tickets and sales calls?”
  • “Find every time a customer mentioned [Competitor] and analyze the context”
  • “What commitments did our team make to customers this month that haven’t been tracked?”

Person & Company Intelligence

Scope your questions to specific people or organizations:
  • “What has [Person Name] talked about across all their calls?”
  • “Give me a complete picture of [Company Name]‘s feedback history”
  • “What are the common themes from calls with our healthcare customers?”

Strategic Analysis

Ask complex questions that require connecting multiple data points:
  • “What’s the sentiment trend across our top 20 accounts over the past quarter?”
  • “Which product areas generate the most negative feedback and what are the root causes?”
  • “Based on recent calls, what should our product team prioritize next quarter?”

Scoping Your Questions

Agent Chat can focus its research on specific contexts for more precise answers:
ScopeHow to UseExample
PersonAsk about a specific contact”What has Sarah Chen discussed across all her calls?”
CompanyFocus on one organization”Summarize all feedback from Acme Corp”
DocumentAnalyze a specific documentDrag a document in and ask questions about it
FolderResearch a collectionDrag a folder in to analyze everything inside it
SignalDig into a specific insightClick into a signal and ask for deeper context
CallDeep-dive a recordingDrag a call in for detailed transcript analysis
You can also drag multiple items into the chat to analyze them together—compare calls, cross-reference documents, or find patterns across a collection.

Tools the Agent Uses

The agent has access to a suite of research tools that it selects automatically based on your question:
  • Workspace Search — Full-text and semantic search across all your data
  • Signal Analysis — Query and filter your extracted signals by any property
  • Transcript Analysis — Deep reading of call transcripts with speaker attribution
  • People & Company Lookup — Find and cross-reference contact and organization data
  • Document Reading — Analyze the full content of any document in your workspace
  • Pattern Detection — Identify trends, anomalies, and recurring themes
The agent decides which tools to use based on your question. You don’t need to specify how it should research—just ask what you want to know.

Getting Started

3

Watch the Agent Work

See which tools the agent uses, what data it queries, and how it builds its analysis in real-time
4

Follow the Evidence

Click any citation to jump to the original call timestamp, signal, or document. Verify findings and explore further.
5

Ask Follow-Ups

Refine your analysis with follow-up questions. The agent maintains full context from your conversation.

Tips for Better Results

Be specific about what you want to know: “What pricing objections came up in enterprise deals last quarter?” beats “Tell me about pricing”
Scope when you can: If you’re researching a specific customer, mention them. If it’s about a product area, name it.
Ask follow-ups: The agent remembers your full conversation. Build on previous answers to go deeper.
Use it for prep: Before a customer call, ask the agent to summarize everything that customer has discussed, flagged, or requested.
Verify with citations: Click through to source material when making important decisions. The agent is powerful but always check the evidence.

From Analysis to Action

Agent Chat responses aren’t just for reading—you can act on them:
  • Generate Documents: Turn any analysis into a formal document (PRD, brief, report)
  • Generate Highlight Reels: Create video compilations from referenced call moments
  • Add to Collections: Save referenced items to folders for your team
  • Share Insights: Copy responses with properly formatted links for teammates
