Configuration tips
-
To use Connect AI agents with calls, you must enable Amazon Connect Contact Lens in the flow by adding a Set recording and analytics behavior block that is configured for Contact Lens real-time. It doesn't matter where in the flow you add the Set recording and analytics behavior block.
Connect AI agents, along with Contact Lens real-time analytics, are used to recommend content that is related to customer issues detected during the current call.

Contact Lens is not required to use Connect AI agents with chats.
