What happened
Mercado Libre replaced its rigid IVR phone menus with Decagon voice AI agents that hold natural conversations with customers across languages, including Brazilian Portuguese. The team uses Decagon's Watchtower analytics to monitor production, analyze why customers call, and find more issues the agents can resolve on their own.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Decagon and Mercado Libre, not ours.
Watchtower has become central to how the team operates day-to-day. The team uses the tool for technical monitoring, real-time production checks during product changes, intent analysis, and identifying opportunities for the agents to resolve issues independently.
What we have now is the ability to understand why our customers are reaching out. That insight simply didn’t exist before.
