Hi Craig,
We had a solution we generally referred to as Real-Time Speech (RTS). We are in the process of migrating from on-premises infrastructure using Verint for call recording and Genesys for routing to Genesys Cloud for all. Verint offered a solution built-in to their suite. As part of our requirements for the move, we partnered with Genesys Cloud Services to build a custom solution that offered this capability.
I'm sure if you reach out to your Account Rep, they would be happy to re-sell the same solution to you. :)
But at a high level, it works like you described - the ability to 'live listen' to pre-defined words/terms/phrases and then pop an alert to the desktop via an external software client to then give some on-demand instructions for the agent to follow.
