As someone who has felt the pain of clunky handoffs and fuzzy diagnostics, I care about tools that make customer journeys clearer and kinder. Maestro is Operata’s most ambitious step yet. It expands CX Observability from a primarily Amazon Connect footprint to 50+ CCaaS, Voice AI, AI customer service, CPaaS, and CRM platforms. It introduces a unified Customer Journey Trace, a smarter CX Copilot that uses AWS Bedrock and OpenAI GPT-5.0 for natural language analysis, and an open approach for developers that includes an Insights Library and the first MCP server for CX Observability.

John Mitchem, Co-Founder & CEO at Operata: “We launched Operata to solve observability in voice and contact centres. You can’t fix what you can’t see, especially now that AI agents and human agents share the same customer journey.”

Why This Matters: Observability Is the New Control Plane for AI-Era CX

Modern contact centres are multi-platform and AI-augmented. Voice bots hand over to humans. Carriers, IVRs, CCaaS, CRMs, and LLMs all sit in the flow. Without end-to-end visibility, leaders are left guessing where quality drops, latency spikes, or handoff failures occur. Customers feel it first, NPS follows.

Mitchem again: “Start with your observability platform. Put the tools in place to judge whether new services reduce friction or create it. This has been true in IT for years, and it should be no different for your customers.”

The Maestro Release: Three Pillars

1) The Global Platform for CX Observability

Maestro supports 50+ platforms across CCaaS, AI Customer Service, Voice AI, CPaaS, and CRM, including Amazon Connect, Genesys Cloud, NICE CXone, Zoom, Talkdesk, 8×8, Twilio, PolyAI, LiveKit, Pipecat, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Zendesk.

A new “Verified” designation flags ready-to-use data collection and integrations, with a one to three day path to verify additional supported platforms.

Why it matters: Most enterprises are hybrid and multi-vendor. Maestro gives IT and Operations one consistent view across providers, today and tomorrow.

2) One Picture Across CX Services

Customer Journey Trace presents a single, visual flame-graph timeline for every interaction, spanning telephony, IVR, CCaaS, AI agents, and human agents. Teams get span-level metrics, logs, and context in one place.

The new CX Copilot lets users ask natural-language questions, see visual results, save prompts, and trigger next-best actions, grounded in their own Operata data.

“Leaders need the whole story, not just the symptoms. Journey Trace exposes transfer delays, AI-to-human mis-handoffs, and downstream latency, the places where customer trust quietly erodes.” — John Mitchem

Ask questions like, “Where are transfers breaking,” or “Which ISPs will impact voice next week,” and get answers rooted in operational truth.

3) Open Standards for Developers, AI, and Data Teams

Maestro aligns open data collection and pipelines to industry standards for interoperability and scale.

  • Insights Library: 50+ critical, real-time CX insights, from atomic signals like low MOS or high latency to composite outcomes like abandonment, rolled into CX Risk ratings.
  • Operata MCP Server: the first Model Context Protocol server for CX Observability. It lets LLMs and agentic AI query Operata insights and dashboards directly, securely, and with the right context.

Why it matters: As Voice AI and agentic workflows scale, context is everything. Structured, queryable CX context helps AI return relevant answers and actions, not guesswork.

Built for IT & Ops, and Now for Data, AI, and CX Leaders

Observability has lived in IT. Maestro broadens the impact. Operations can spot issues before they hit NPS. CX leaders can see real experience impact across journeys. Developers and Data or AI teams can integrate Operata’s signals into their own systems and copilots.

“There is no one-size-fits-all AI. Diversity of models matters, but the context you feed them matters more. Operata provides journey context across platforms so your AI can answer the two questions every leader asks: what went wrong, and how do we fix it?” — John Mitchem

AWS Roots, Broader Reach

Operata’s growth has been propelled by deep work with Amazon Web Services and the Amazon Connect ecosystem. Maestro keeps that strength and extends it across ecosystems such as Genesys, NICE, Zoom, Talkdesk, Twilio, and more.

“We became popular with vendors because we help their customers succeed. It is not only finding what is wrong, it is proving what is working, and enabling rollouts with confidence.” — John Mitchem

The CX Today Take

This feels like a category moment. Monitoring was a safety net. Observability is now the operating system for CX, especially as AI agents join human agents in live flows. With Maestro, Operata is staking a claim as a neutral layer of truth across a fragmented stack. If you are evaluating CCaaS, Voice AI, or Customer Service AI, instrument first. The winners will see across domains in real time, correlate what matters, and act before customers feel the pain.

The Bottom Line

In a world where AI and humans share the same journey, visibility is power. The future belongs to teams that see clearly, act quickly, and learn continuously. Are you one of them?
