Call Center Automated QA: Definition, Benefits, Features and Future

It’s 2025.

You wouldn’t manually scan every single email for spam. 

Neither would you check every payment by hand.

So why are you still auditing calls like it was 1995?

Manual QA is stuck in the past. It’s slow, repetitive, and wildly inefficient.

But worry not… as I said before, it’s 2025. And it’s time to revisit how to do Quality Assurance (QA). That’s why you are here on this blog.

What I love the most about 2025?  

The AI to make QA efficient and actionable is already available and successful, that too without breaking your bank.

In this blog, I will guide you through the process of automating your Quality Assurance process in a contact center using AI.

A. How to automate your call QA using AI?

Before we  jump into QA automation using AI, let’s make sure you have a solid foundation.

Once you’ve got these basics covered, automating your QA becomes surprisingly simple.

You bring the rules. The AI brings the scale.

Let’s break it down further.

1. Convert your voice recordings to text

Good quality transcription is the first step towards automating your QA program.

Converting audio into text enables the AI to quickly scan through the conversations, picking the relevant signals and stack ranking results according to your requirement.

If you have a development team in place, you can use tools like elevenlabs, DeepGram, AssemblyAI, Whisper by OpenAI, and Speechmatics to bulk transcribe your calls.

If you are a user of Enthu.AI, you can cut short all the grunt work. Just integrate using our pre-built connectors and transcribe all your calls automatically through our APIs (we integrate with 100+ telephony dialers and business phones).

2. Define context for every QA parameter in your scorecard

The expectation from auto QA should be to reduce your manual hassle of evaluating calls. 

For that, you need to clearly define all your evaluation criteria. This goes as an input to the AI, and as the adage goes “You get what you give”. 

Make sure you are giving the right inputs to the AI.

As an example, assume your scorecard evaluates the agent on “Setting the call context” as well as “Handling Objections”.

Most of the contact centers already have those definitions in place, These are actually the lighthouses that your QA teams use while ranking calls.

Put that in a spreadsheet for future use.

If you are using Enthu.AI, it gives you the feature to set up your own scorecards and fill in the context of each question right then and there. 

3. Define sampling logics

Just because you can evaluate 100% of your calls doesn’t mean you have to.

Sure, tools like Enthu.AI make it possible to review every interaction, but smart QA teams focus on what matters most.

The goal isn’t to drown in data—it’s to get insights that actually help you improve.

That’s where sampling logic comes in.

You decide which calls to evaluate based on volume, team, call type, or performance tiers.

Maybe you want to review 10 calls per agent per week.

Maybe you want to focus only on calls longer than 5 minutes.

Maybe you want to zero in on first-time resolutions or negative sentiment calls.

This way, you’re working with a statistically significant dataset.

Not too small to be random.

Not too large to be wasteful.

It helps remove bias from your QA process.

Some of these filters (like duration, disposition etc.) can be put right away in your dialer software. For keywords or sentiment related filters, you would need your dev team to put a search across the transcripts.

Or if you are using Enthu.AI, you can set up your sampling logics right within the tool, as shown below:-

4. Use an AI model to score sampled calls

By now, you’ve defined what makes a great call and determined which calls matter most. 

Now comes the magic—actually scoring those calls at scale.

This is where AI-driven evaluation takes over.

Instead of human reviewers spending hours listening to calls, you can feed each transcript into an LLM model (like Llama or GPT-4) and prompt it to evaluate the call based on your pre-defined QA parameters.

Here’s what an AI-generated evaluation might look like:

 Agent Performance Evaluation

• Call Context: 8/10 – The agent clearly introduced themselves and stated the purpose of the call.
• Objection Handling: 6/10 – The agent acknowledged the customer’s concern but did not provide a clear resolution.
• Compliance Adherence: 10/10 – All regulatory statements were correctly mentioned.

The AI doesn’t just score the call—it explains why, helping QA teams make more informed decisions.

Enthu’s users know how easy it is to upload 100 calls all together and get agent’s evaluation in minutes.

5. Update reports and draw agent improvement insights

A QA score alone doesn’t tell the full story.

It’s just a number without deeper insights or meaning.

Agents need to know why they lost points.They must understand what went wrong in each call.

Clear feedback helps them improve skills and performance. Without insights, they keep making the same mistakes.

The goal is growth, not just scoring every call.

For example, a simple spreadsheet might look like this:

Download the Excel from this link: Agent Reports

Take a look at the table. It outlines key metrics for agent improvement. 

It includes measurement methods and target benchmarks. 

It also provides actionable steps. These help enhance performance and customer satisfaction.

Just a sec…

We are not done yet, Power BI helps analyze agent performance with visual reports.

Enthu.AI pulls data from multiple scorecards into one dashboard.

Managers track key metrics like call duration and resolution time.

Filters allow focusing on specific agents or call types.

Charts highlight trends, strengths, and improvement areas.

Data-driven insights improve coaching and training plans.

Performance comparisons help set realistic benchmarks.

Custom dashboards tailor reports to business needs. Automated reports reduce manual effort and errors.

B. Auto QA vs manual QA: Which one works best for call centers?

Imagine you’re listening to hundreds of calls a day. Sounds like frustrating, right? 

That’s what manual QA feels like!”

Now, let’s break it down:

Manual QA is like trying to catch every typo in a 200-page essay—by hand. Sure, it works, but it’s slow, and humans tend to miss stuff. 

Plus, let’s be real, you’d probably fall asleep after the first 50 calls.

Auto QA, on the other hand, is like having a robot that never gets tired and catches every single mistake. 

It works 24/7, never needs coffee, and always finds the patterns. It’s faster and more accurate, making your life a lot easier.

So, while Manual QA still has its place (like for those tricky calls), Auto QA is the superhero that gets the job done quickly and efficiently.

Let’s check the key differences between Manual QA and Auto QA to see which one truly works best.

1. Call coverage: 100% vs. 5% of calls

Manual QA teams can’t review every call—it’s just too much work. Most centers only check 1-5% of calls, leaving tons of mistakes unnoticed.

How Auto QA Wins:

• AI analyzes every single call, ensuring nothing slips through.
• Managers don’t have to guess if agents are following scripts or handling objections well.
• Businesses get a complete picture of agent performance, not just a small sample.

More coverage = fewer blind spots = better quality.

2. Speed: instant vs. days of work

Manual QA takes hours per call—listening, scoring, and reporting. By the time a mistake is found, it’s too late to fix.

 How Auto QA Wins:

• AI scores and analyzes calls in seconds, saving QA teams days of work.
• Managers get instant reports instead of waiting weeks for feedback.
• Agents receive faster coaching, helping them improve quicker.

Faster reviews mean quicker improvements and fewer compliance risks.

3. Accuracy: AI data vs. human bias

Humans get tired, miss details, and judge calls differently. One QA reviewer may score a call as “good,” while another might see it as “bad.”

How Auto QA Wins:

• AI follows the same scoring rules for every call, eliminating bias.
• It identifies compliance risks, customer frustration, and missed opportunities with data, not guesswork.
• Managers get objective insights, making QA fair for all agents.

Consistent, data-driven evaluations improve training and performance.

4. Compliance: proactive vs. reactive

In Manual QA, compliance mistakes often go unnoticed until it’s too late. 

One missing disclaimer or a misleading statement can lead to heavy fines.

 How Auto QA Wins:

• It automatically detects compliance violations and flags risky conversations.
• AI tracks legal disclaimers, ensuring agents follow scripts.
• It generates audit-ready reports, reducing legal risks.

Catch compliance issues before they become costly mistakes.

5. Coaching: personalized vs. generic feedback

With Manual QA, coaching is slow and generic. 

Managers don’t have time to analyze every agent’s strengths and weaknesses.

How Auto QA Wins:

• AI pinpoints exactly where agents struggle, whether it’s tone, objections, or compliance.
• It provides real examples of mistakes, so agents know what to fix.
• Managers can deliver targeted coaching instead of one-size-fits-all training.

Better coaching = faster agent improvement = happier customers.

6. Cost: High Labor Cost vs. Scalable AI

Manual QA needs a big team to review even a small fraction of calls. 

That’s expensive, especially as the call volume grows.

How Auto QA Wins:

• AI handles 100% of call monitoring without adding extra staff.
• QA teams can focus on high-value coaching instead of listening to calls all day.
• Businesses scale without increasing costs.

Less manual work, lower costs, better results.

C. Is auto QA going to eat my job?

The moment people hear “automation,” they panic—“Will this replace me?” But let’s be real. 

Auto QA isn’t here to replace humans; it’s here to assist them.

Think about manual QA:

• Listening to random calls
• Filling endless scorecards
• Struggling to catch compliance issues
• Spending weeks reviewing a tiny fraction of calls

That’s not productive, not scalable, and not effective.

What auto QA does?

• Handles repetitive tasks like call scoring and compliance checks
• Finds patterns across 100% of calls instead of guessing from a small sample
• Gives QAs more time to focus on coaching, not data entry

Auto QA doesn’t take jobs—it makes them easier. Instead of listening to calls all day, QAs can spend time actually improving agent performance.

D. Does auto QA analyze 100% of my calls? 

Talking to call center managers, we found they struggle with missed compliance risks, lost coaching opportunities and limited performance insights.

1. Auto QA solves this problem by analyzing every single conversation. No exceptions.

Auto QA checks 100% of your calls. 

It listens to every call automatically. No call is left out. It’s like having a robot do all the work for you.

The system looks at everything in the call—tone, script, customer handling, and more. 

It checks if agents follow the right steps.

You can track how well agents are doing on each call. 

If something’s wrong, it flags it right away. No need to listen to hours of calls.

What Enthu.AI’s users achieve with auto QA

• Speech-to-text AI transcribes every call for detailed analysis
• AI detects objections, frustration, script deviations, and missed opportunities
• Every call gets a score, so managers can track trends over time

This means no more guesswork—you’ll always know which agents need help, where compliance risks are, and what’s driving customer satisfaction.

2. Can automated QA minimize compliance risks?

Compliance mistakes can lead to heavy penalties, yet most call centers still rely on manual checks. With only a fraction of calls reviewed, critical issues often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

How does automated QA help?

Automated QA monitors 100% of calls, instantly flagging compliance risks and ensuring agents follow protocols.

• Tracks mandatory disclaimers – Detects if agents deliver required legal statements.
• Flags violations – Alerts managers to missing consent or unauthorized claims.
• Provides audit-ready reports – Simplifies compliance tracking and reporting.
• Reduces regulatory risks – Identifies and corrects issues before they become costly.

Instead of catching mistakes after the fact, automated QA ensures every call meets legal and regulatory standards in real time.
