AI-Assisted Manual Audit enables supervisors and QA teams to evaluate voice and chat interactions using AI-driven insights alongside manual scoring.
The audit workspace unifies transcripts, timeline navigation, AI insights (including summary, topics, sentiment, and resolution), evaluation metrics, and interaction details in a single screen.
Evaluators can validate AI outputs, override scores, add comments, and submit final audits. It supports direction-based forms (inbound and outbound), duration-aware scoring such as Auto QA exclusions for short interactions, and a hybrid evaluation approach combining AI and manual scoring.

Click-Through Navigation
All users — including agents without QA permissions — can select a comment to navigate to the related message. The system centers the commented message in the Transcript window, enabling agents to review feedback from supervisors and QA auditors.
Near-Miss Scenarios
Near-miss evaluations flag responses that closely resemble, but do not fully meet, adherence standards. Applicable only in Deterministic Adherence mode.
How it works:
- The system compares agent responses against predefined similarity thresholds.
- Near-miss cases are flagged for auditor review.
- When you Select the View button, the evaluation is marked Yes (highlighted in green) and the relevant customer response is highlighted.
- By Question metrics are selected by default and cannot be deselected.
- Auditors can only audit the metric types they have selected.
- Supervisor score calculation includes all enabled metric types.
Self-Assignment for Audit
QA users (auditors or supervisors) can self-assign unclaimed interactions for auditing. Interactions that are already audited, completed, or assigned to another user are not eligible.
To self-assign an interaction:
-
Navigate to the Conversation Mining page.
-
Select an interaction that is not audited or assigned.
-
Select Assign to Me. A success message confirms the assignment.
-
The interaction is marked as Self-Assigned on the Audit Allocations page and becomes unavailable for reassignment.
Only users with QA permission can add feedback comments at any point in the conversation, regardless of the evaluation metrics.
Audit Submission
The Submit button is enabled only when the interaction is assigned to you through Audit Allocations.
Before submitting:
-
If By Question, By Value, or By AI Agent metrics are present, select appropriate responses for all required audit questions.
-
Ensure the adherence percentage totals 100%.
-
Select Submit.
After submission:
- The interaction is marked as Self-Assigned on the Audit Allocations page.
- The audited interaction is unavailable for reassignment.
- A completed and submitted interaction cannot be re-audited.
Agent access to scored interactions is controlled by the Agent Access to Scored Interactions setting:
| Setting | What agents see |
|---|
| Only manually audited interactions | Supervisor Audit Score interactions with Date & Time and Queues. |
| Manually audited and Auto QA scored | Kore Evaluation Score (Auto QA) and Supervisor Audited Score interactions. |
Hide Auditor Details for Agent:
- On - Auditor details are anonymized in the audit screen.
