Keyword Watchdog & Topic Intelligence

AI-powered real-time monitoring now listens for keywords, phrases, and topics across every voice room, flagging compliance risks, escalation triggers, and operational signals as they happen.

By whoot. team

Your team talks all day, and now the platform can listen for you

In environments where voice is the primary communication channel, trading floors, operations centres, control rooms, the volume of spoken information is enormous. Critical signals get buried. Compliance risks go unnoticed until it's too late. Operational patterns that could prevent incidents are invisible because nobody has time to listen to everything.

Keyword Watchdog changes that equation. It applies real-time AI monitoring to every voice room in your workspace, listening for the specific words, phrases, and topics that matter to your organisation. When a match is detected, it's flagged instantly, with full context, speaker identity, room, timestamp, and transcript.

Topic Intelligence goes deeper. Rather than just matching exact keywords, it uses AI-driven topic extraction to understand what conversations are about. It clusters related discussions, tracks topic trends over time, and surfaces emerging themes before they become incidents. Think of it as giving your compliance and management teams a sixth sense for what's happening across your voice infrastructure.

Listen for what matters, automatically

Real-time keyword detection and AI topic analysis across every room.

  • Speak a report instead of typing oneEmergency Response · September 2026 · Reporting a problem now takes a voice message and photos, not just a text box. Speak into the page and the recording is transcribed, summarised for the operator triaging it, and dropped into the voice room your team is already listening to. The same controls appear on the incident response page mid-alert.
  • The people who see a problem first don't work for youEmergency Response · September 2026 · A public reporting page behind the same QR code your sign-up links already use. Anyone can report a chained fire exit, a broken barrier, or behaviour that worries them. You write the questions, and every report lands in a triage queue where your team sets priority and owner.
