Amazon Connect Customer now supports information extraction for agent voice and chat conversations

Amazon Connect Customer now offers automatic information extraction from voice and chat interactions, capturing key data like account numbers, reservation IDs, and product names, as well as derived insights such as reason for contact, resolution provided, and next steps promised. Users can define conversational analytics rules to specify what to extract and when. Extraction works on raw contact content before redaction, allowing specific data points to be captured while still redacting sensitive values from recordings and transcripts. Agents see extracted values during After Contact Work, supervisors use them to search and review contacts, and developers can access them programmatically through APIs, Kinesis Data Streams, and S3 output files. Extracted values can also be fed directly into rule actions such as email notifications, task creation, and case creation, turning unstructured conversations into automated experiences.
