Dashboard

Replay every call, see every decision, and try your agent live.

The dashboard (the "observer") ships inside the cuelo package and is served by the engine itself.

Calls

The home page shows totals for recent calls (TTFB p50 and p95, barge-in rate, calls per day over 14 days) and a searchable, filterable list of calls with duration and median TTFB. Live calls update as they happen.

A call

Each call has three tabs.

Overview

The whole-call player: both audio channels on one timeline with waveforms, the transcript under it, and markers for interruptions, backchannels and tool calls. Click any line to jump there. The summary, models and token counts sit alongside.

Latency

Per-turn breakdown of ttfb into vad_tail, finalize, llm_ttft and tts_ttfa, with p50 and p90 for the call. Also tool time per tool, interruptions, barge-in rate, premature turn ends and flagged turns.

Events

Every engine event in order, filterable by kind: transcripts, controller signals, policy decisions, LLM, TTS and tool events, errors.

Talk

The Talk page (/demo) is a browser client for the Realtime API with a workbench around it:

  • Presets to start from: a curious companion, a support line with a sample tool, or blank.
  • An editor for instructions, tools (OpenAI JSON format, run in the browser as client tools) and voice. Changes apply to a live call with Apply.
  • Speak first: sends response.create on connect.
  • Live events: controller signals and decisions as they happen.
  • Latency for each turn as it lands, and a protocol log.

Keys

When the engine has API keys, the dashboard asks for one on its first refused request and keeps it in the browser. It sends the key as x-api-key on requests and as a WebSocket subprotocol on calls.

Developing the dashboard

The dashboard is a Vite and React app in observer/. Run pnpm dev there with an engine on :4141, and it proxies /api and /v1. make cuelo embeds the production build in the CLI, and make dist bundles it into the wheel.
