Automated call summarization and wrap-up
Verified 2026-09-16 · 16 sources · tier 2
Also known as Dropped call summary.
In Webex Contact Center, post-call summaries are created automatically after the customer disconnects, and Cisco states that they capture the reason for the call, the actions taken, the status, and the follow-ups 11. Cisco names summaries as 1 of the 5 Cisco AI Assistant features enhanced with multi-language support, describing them as AI-powered concise summaries of call interactions for rapid review and post-call analysis 12.
Summary types and operational roles
Cisco states that when a Webex Contact Center call disconnects unexpectedly, the AI Assistant instantly creates a summary of the conversation so that the agent can continue it when the customer calls back 8. In addition, Cisco states that a call transferred from a virtual agent arrives with a summary of the interaction with that virtual agent 8. WarmTransfer's reading of the sources is that of the 4 AI-generated summary subtypes, the dropped call and virtual agent transfer summaries exist to carry context across a break so that a conversation can continue, while the consult and transfer mid-call summary and the post-call summary exist to document an interaction that has already happened 9.
Licensing and entitlements
WarmTransfer's reading of the sources is that AI-generated summaries are reached through the same A-FLEX-AI-ASST add-on entitlement that grants every other AI Assistant feature, so an organisation cannot buy summarisation without buying the rest 13.
Analyzer reporting
The Post-Call and Mid-Call Summary KPIs report consists of a Post-Call Summary KPIs table, a Mid-Call Summary KPIs table, and 2 summary cards 10. This report is segmented from queue through team to agent with drill-down, and its Total Interactions with Summaries parameter counts the calls where an AI-generated summary was successfully created 10.
Dropped Call Summaries is a separate report on the AI Assistant Dashboard from the Post-Call and Mid-Call Summary KPIs report, and Cisco describes it as providing insights into the dropped calls rather than into the summaries produced for them 7. The Dropped Call Summaries report is reached in the Analyzer through either the Dashboard icon or the Visualization icon, with the report run from an ellipsis menu or by double-clicking the dashboard card 6. In the field, the Agent Summary report on the AI Assistant Dashboard is described as providing insights into the agent's workload and performance rather than into AI-generated summaries, so of the 8 reports on that dashboard the 2 that measure summaries are Dropped Call Summaries and Post-Call and Mid-Call Summary KPIs 5.
