In active development
Playbook is a second-screen agent assist tool. AI-powered, multi-tenant, and deployed in a browser tab alongside any telephony system.
No integration. No IT project. No surveillance.
Why Playbook
Built differently.
On purpose.
Agent-first. Anti-surveillance by design.
No call recording. No keystroke monitoring. No AI scoring of individual agents. Mood data is anonymised and aggregated. Managers see team trends, never individual reports. Whisper coaching is ephemeral and never stored.
Zero integration. One-day deployment.
Playbook runs in a browser tab. No telephony vendor cooperation required. No IT project. No internal development resource. If your agents have a browser, they have Playbook.
SME-accessible pricing.
Priced comfortably below mid-market workforce engagement tools, without compromising on capability. Transparent, flat-rate tiers. No hidden per-feature costs.
What’s in the box
A complete contact centre platform.
Playbook ships with three distinct operational surfaces, each built for a specific role in the room.
Agent UI
Scripts, RAG-grounded answers, AI tools, callback management, mood and wellness self-reporting, and training games. Everything an agent needs, in one browser tab.
Manager UI
Team performance at a glance. Abusive-call alerts. Ephemeral whisper coaching that disappears after the call. Anonymised mood aggregates: team trends only, never individual.
Admin UI
Tenant configuration, user and team management, brand customisation, document upload, feature flags, and AI usage caps. Full control without a development team.
What Playbook isn’t
Missing.
By design.
Every line below is a choice, not a missing feature.
Not a telephony system
No softphone. No dialler. No IVR. Playbook sits next to your existing telephony in a browser tab. It does not replace it.
Not a CRM
No customer database, no lead pipelines, no opportunity tracking. Your CRM stays your CRM.
Not call recording
No call audio. No transcripts. No live call data of any kind. Playbook never touches the call itself.
Not a monitoring tool
No keystroke logging. No AI scoring of agents. No individual mood reports surfaced to managers. Playbook helps agents do better work. It does not police them.
Built for
Regulated.
Agent-heavy.
Sector-agnostic by architecture. Deployed first in financial services, expanding outward from there.
Financial services
FCA-regulated firms: insurance, lending, investment platforms, challenger banks. Consumer Duty alignment is the wedge, covering abusive-call detection, vulnerability flagging, agent override authority, and anti-surveillance posture.
Utilities & telecoms
High-volume, regulated, complaints-sensitive. Same Consumer Duty pressure as financial services, same retention-driven buying motion.
UK public sector
Local government, NHS trusts, central government agencies. Public procurement listing in progress. Anti-surveillance and data-residency posture map directly to public-sector procurement criteria.
Healthcare-adjacent
Private healthcare, dental groups, optical chains. NHS handled through a separate gated lane with additional clinical-data safeguards.
Mid-market retail
Customer service teams across DTC brands and retail chains. Seasonal spikes handled by per-agent pricing without forced commitment.
Pricing
Transparent tiers.
No surprises.
All prices ex-VAT. Every tier starts with a conversation — your trial is provisioned on the call.
Tier 1 Starter
Up to 10 seats, flat rate. No IT project. Live in a day.
Tier 2 Growth
Per-agent pricing, no feature gates. Agents assisted, never monitored.
Tier 3 Professional
RAG-grounded AI with cited sources. Multi-brand, unlimited queues.
Tier 4 Enterprise
Procurement-grade. Negotiated SLAs, principal support, EU West residency.
