AI Assist features in Aircall enhance your call workflows with AI-generated insights, real-time assistance, and automation. This guide explains which licenses are required for each feature, what different roles can do, and how to assign licenses effectively.

Note: AI Assist is included in the Professional Plan at no additional cost, and Professional Plan customers can purchase AI Assist Pro licenses separately.

The Essentials Plan does not include AI Assist or AI Assist Pro. Customers on this plan must purchase these add-ons separately.

  • AI Assist Standard: Unlocks post-call insights, call scoring, and workflow integrations.
  • AI Assist Pro: Includes everything in Standard, plus real-time features, automation, and advanced configuration options.

Viewing access

  • Most insights (for example summaries, key topics):
    Free to view once they are generated by a licensed user.
  • Advanced features (for example Conversation Center search, dashboards):
    Require a Standard or Pro license.
  • Agents viewing AI insights on shared calls:
    Agents can view AI insights on shared calls as long as they either:

    • participated in the call, or
    • belong to at least one line used on that call.

    If neither condition is met, the agent will not be able to see the call or its AI insights.

FAQs

No. Supervisors and admins can view individual call insights for free once they are generated by a licensed agent.

Agents can view AI insights on shared calls as long as they either participated in the call or belong to at least one line used on that call. Otherwise, they will not be able to see the call or its AI insights.

Do supervisors need licenses to use Conversation Center search?

Yes. Supervisors or admins need a Standard or Pro license to use advanced search and analytics features.

  • Consider supervisor needs if they require access to advanced search or analytics tools.
  • Assign Pro licenses to Admins if you plan to enable or customize Pro-level features.
