  • Overall agent empathy score– On the left side of the interaction overview, at the bottom of the External Participant section (as shown below), you find the overall agent empathy score. This score reflects the agent's empathy during the interaction and ranges from -100 to +100. If the interaction includes only empathetic phrases, the agent's overall empathy score is 100. If the interaction only includes unhelpful phrases, the overall empathy score is -100. When there are multiple agents, each agent has an individual empathy score.
