About Chronicle

Chronicle unifies interaction history across your workspace into a single, filterable timeline. See emails, chats, calls, ticket updates, tasks, files, and payment events side-by-side with workflow breadcrumbs. Use fast search and saved filters to find exactly what changed, when, and why. AI summarizes recent activity into crisp bullets so agents and managers get up to speed instantly.

Chronicle ingests from Velaxe apps (Agent Desk, LiveConnect, PulseGate, VoiceLink, ActionDesk, PayStream, SecureStore, FlowForge) and select external systems (email, meetings, CRM, ticketing). Data is normalized and retained per policy with RBAC, redaction, and audit logs.

Pin pivotal moments, compare subject timelines, export scoped views, and open linked items in their source apps—all from the same pane.
