What are Smart Notes?
Smart Notes is a new feature in Engage for Amazon Connect that utilises Generative AI to automatically summarise a contact, and then suggest a note for the Agent to add to the Contact in After Call Work.
Smart Notes aims to significantly reduce the amount of time an Agent spends crafting and submitting notes, whilst ensuring all key details are included in Notes. It is important for notes to be accurate and succinct so that any follow-on from the Contact (e.g. a transfer or a second conversation days later) has the right context.
Note: Smart Notes are suggested to an Agent - they are not automatically added to a Contact.
How to set up Smart Notes
Note that this configuration is for the purposes of the Smart Notes beta. You may be required to change the configuration post beta.
Prerequisites
Before settings up Smart Notes in Engage, you will need the following:

- The AI Service configured as an AI Assist integration in Engage

How to use Smart Notes as an Agent in Engage
Transparency is one of our Gen AI Principles (link to principles). We will always make it clear to an Agent whenever Gen AI is used by highlighting the result of Gen AI.
Once an Agent ends a Contact, they will have the option to use Smart Notes within After Call Work.
- Close the contact
- Expand the Notes section
- Click the Summarize Conversation button
- If the note displayed is useful, click the Insert button
- To generate a new note, click the Retry button
Note that once a Smart Note has been inserted, an Agent will be able to edit the note as required. Agents will still have to save Notes by clicking the ✔️button.
