MINNEAPOLIS – Calabrio, a leader in workforce performance solutions, is at the forefront of driving successful AI adoption in contact centers through its enhanced Calabrio ONE suite. The company has unveiled a substantial expansion of its platform, integrating over 70 new artificial intelligence-driven features designed to optimize operations, elevate agent engagement, and deliver superior customer experiences. These advancements are set to redefine how businesses leverage data-driven insights to manage their customer interactions and workforce efficiency.
The core of Calabrio’s strategy lies in unifying workforce and conversation intelligence within a single, interactive layer. This approach empowers even non-technical employees with AI-powered, self-service business intelligence, enabling them to easily access, create, and share actionable insights. Key AI-driven features introduced include:
Auto QM (Quality Management): An AI-driven system that evaluates customer interactions for consistent scoring and quickly identifies coaching opportunities. It also allows for customization through Generative AI prompts to meet specific business needs.
Trending Topics: This feature uses AI to categorize customer conversations into key themes, helping teams rapidly spot emerging trends, diagnose issues, and implement data-driven improvements.

These innovations are not merely about automation but about fostering a ‘Human + AI Synergy,’ as emphasized by Calabrio. The goal is to augment human capabilities, reduce cognitive load on agents, and enable them to perform at their best. According to Calabrio’s 2025 State of the Contact Center Report, a significant 59% of contact centers currently fall short in providing ongoing coaching and support for agents navigating AI-driven workflows. Calabrio’s new features aim to address this gap by providing hands-on support, building trust, and increasing AI adoption.
Dave Rhodes, CEO of Calabrio, underscored the company’s commitment to a human-centric AI approach, stating, “AI is here to stay and it’s quickly changing the game. Calabrio has made very thoughtful investments to create AI-driven features– not just for the sake of AI – but for the humans who use them. The purpose is to help agents more easily and successfully improve the customer experience.” Rhodes further likened the transformative impact of their AI-powered Quality Management (Auto QM) to the evolution from handwritten letters to email, predicting immediate value and powerful outcomes.
The 2025 State of the Contact Center Report also highlights that 98% of contact centers are now utilizing AI, yet 61% are experiencing more difficult conversations. This underscores the critical need for AI solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also support agent wellbeing and improve the overall workplace culture. Calabrio’s enhancements are designed to reduce burnout, improve service quality, and allow managers to shift their focus from manual oversight to strategic initiatives, ultimately creating a more agile and engaged workforce.
