Real-Time Coaching Bridge (Concept)

Not every project ships. This one didn’t — but the concept is worth documenting honestly rather than pretending it doesn’t exist.

The Idea

Contact center coaching is usually after-the-fact: a supervisor listens to a call recording later, or silently monitors a live call with no way to intervene short of pulling the agent off entirely. The concept behind this extension was different: let a coach tap into an agent’s live call audio and coach them in real time, based on what’s actually happening on the call — without any of that coaching activity ever touching the call itself.

The call stays completely untouched. The coach listens, and coaches the agent, through a channel entirely separate from the call session — no audio injection, no carry-over, nothing the customer’s side of the call is ever exposed to.

Why It Didn’t Ship

The build was submitted and rejected during Chrome Web Store review. It was built and tested as an internal tool for a specific contact center operation, not developed or validated as a generalized, publicly distributable product — and it never got the clean-room rebuild that would make it one.

What’s Actually Documented Here

Just the concept, honestly: real-time coaching based on live call audio, kept structurally separate from the call itself so there’s zero risk of the coaching interaction leaking into what the customer hears. This was one attempt at building a lightweight, browser-based version of that pattern, rather than relying on a dialer platform’s own built-in coaching tools.

If this gets revisited, it would need to be rebuilt from scratch, on personal infrastructure, against a generic or mock dialer target — not adapted from the original internal build.

A concept explored, not a shipped product. Documented here for completeness, not as a working download.
