A to Z
Words we deliberately do not use
Brilo’s documentation avoids some common industry words, because they get in the way. If you have seen them elsewhere, here is what we say instead.FAQ
What is the difference between an agent and the Brilo assistant?
What is the difference between an agent and the Brilo assistant?
Your agent is what you build to answer your customers. The Brilo assistant is the helper inside
the dashboard that answers your questions about how Brilo works. Your customers never meet the
Brilo assistant, and you never point a phone number at it.
What is a prompt?
What is a prompt?
A prompt is the instructions you write for your agent: how to greet callers, what tone to use,
what it must never promise. Brilo’s documentation calls these instructions. Facts like prices
belong in knowledge instead, where you can change them without rewriting. See
Write what your agent says.
What is the difference between a cold transfer and a warm transfer?
What is the difference between a cold transfer and a warm transfer?
A cold transfer puts the caller straight through. A warm transfer tells your colleague what the
call is about first, so they answer already knowing who is on the line and why. Warm transfers
take a few seconds longer and callers notice the difference.
What is a webhook, in plain terms?
What is a webhook, in plain terms?
A webhook is Brilo telling another system what just happened, for example dropping a call
summary into your own database the moment the call ends. It needs someone technical, usually
about an hour. See Send data to your systems.
What does Pulse Score mean?
What does Pulse Score mean?
Pulse Score is an automatic rating from 1 to 5 given to every call, based on whether the caller
got what they needed, how clear your agent was, how much effort it took, and how the caller
sounded. It appears about a minute after each call. See Pulse Score.
What is a workspace?
What is a workspace?
Your workspace is your account in Brilo: your agents, phone numbers, contacts, call history,
and the colleagues you invite. Everything you build lives inside one workspace, and your plan
applies to the whole workspace rather than to individual users.
