# <font color="#3694fc">//</font>  Overview

Modern consumers expect **seamless, efficient digital experience**s, and every interaction contributes to overall customer satisfaction. To meet these experiences, organizations need tools that deliver **deep, actionable insights** into customer conversations.

Powered by **NiCE's CX AI models** – and backed by decades of contact center research and billions of real-world interactions –  ElevateAI provides **immediate analysis of voice and chat data at scale** using pre-built behavioral models.



What's New&#x20;


With [ElevateAI v1.11](https://docs.elevateai.com/changelog), all declared interactions – [audio](docId\:PqLj1vqO7gTf0iqj1LBVN), [chat](docId\:iD41ifX7uC0RZDlb7RbtO), and [transcripts](docId:8OMp8XUfyRY9gaB1YIvul) – are now automatically processed through the full range of **CX AI services**.

This release expands coverage across all communication types and ensures **consistent, end-to-end customer experience analysis**.

Key Capabilities


ElevateAI's **pre-built CX AI models** make it easy to integrate intelligence into applications and workflows, unlocking faster time-to-value (TTV):

- **Automated interaction analysis** at enterprise scale
- **Predictive and prescriptive insights&#x20;**&#x70;owered by behavioral models
- **Purpose-built models** for immediate deployment and measurable impact

:::::VerticalSplit
::::VerticalSplitItem
For any audio interaction, **Voice Activity Segments** returned with [CX AI Results](docId:05yDvE34Wjax0rFhFWDxM) include **start and stop times (in milliseconds)** for both **voice** and **silence** periods. This enables immediate insight into **non-interaction time** – such as hold time or extended silence – when participants are not actively engaging.&#x20;

In addition, ElevateAI provides **speaker diarization** for CX AI results using both the **CX** and **Echo** transcription models. Each voice segment is automatically associated with **participantOne&#x20;**&#x6F;r **participantTwo**, giving you visibility into:

- **Total talk time** per speaker
- **Cross-talk detection** (when both participants speak simultaneously)
- **Initiator identification** (who spoke first during cross-talk)


:::hint{type="info"}
**NOTE:** The **CX model** supports diarization for both **Mono (single-channel)** and **Stereo (dual-channel)** audio. The **Echo model** currently supports diarization for **Stereo (dual-channel)** only.

# <font color="#3694fc"> </font> Enlighten AI Bundles

[NiCE Enlighten Scores](https://www.elevateai.com/ai-models/) are generated for each behavioral model and provided both as an **overall score** and as **quartile-based scores** (segmented by interaction stage). This allows users to track behavioral shifts over the course of a conversation and pinpoint when key behaviors occur.

## Behaviors for Customer Satisfaction

:::ExpandableHeading
## <font color="#3694fc">  </font>Acknowledge Loyalty

The **Acknowledge Loyalty** score imeasures how effectively an agent acknowledges a caller's long-term relationship with the organization and expresses appreciation for their loyalty.&#x20;

## Vulnerable Customer Behaviors

A **Vulnerable Customer** is defined by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as:

*"Someone who, due to their personal circumstances, is especially susceptible to harm, particularly when a firm is not acting with appropriate levels of care."*

These customers may require additional support or actions from organizations to ensure they receive **fair, equitable, and appropriate service**. Built by NiCE, ElevateAI's **Vulnerable Customer models** help identify potential signals of vulnerability in real-time interactions.
