EVA Voice Agent: Create P1 Incidents in 3 Seconds Hands-Free — Complete Guide 2026
EVA is SLAShield's AI Voice Agent that creates P1/P2 incidents in 3 seconds by voice. No typing. No dashboard. Just speak — and SLAShield handles the rest. Available on all plans.
It's 2AM. Your monitoring system fires an alert. Payment gateway is down, with 500 errors across checkout.
You're half asleep. The last thing you want to do is log into a dashboard and type an incident report.
EVA handles it in 3 seconds. Just speak.
"Create P1 — payment gateway down, 500 errors, checkout impacted."
Done. Incident created. On-call paged. Bridge live. Stakeholders notified.

How EVA Works
Step 1: Click the 🎤 button
The microphone button sits on the SLAShield dashboard and on mobile. No wake phrase — just a button click.
Step 2: Speak your incident
Say "Create P1 payment gateway down." Natural language, no specific format. EVA understands context.
Step 3: EVA processes
Google Gemini handles speech recognition. The AI classifies severity and extracts the details in under 3 seconds.
Step 4: Everything happens
- Incident created
- Severity AI-classified
- On-call paged via PagerDuty
- Bridge auto-created
- NOVA notifies stakeholders
- MIRA dispatched (Enterprise Agentic)
EVA Commands
| Command | What Happens |
|---|---|
| "Create P1 [description]" | P1 incident created instantly |
| "Create P2 [description]" | P2 incident created |
| "Status INC-047" | Verbal status update |
| "Update INC-047: DB team joined" | Work note added |
| "Resolve INC-047" | Incident resolved |
| "Assign INC-047 to Sarah" | Assigned to team member |
Why Voice Beats Typing
During a P1 at 2AM, typing costs 3–5 minutes. You log into the dashboard, fill the incident form, set severity, add a description, page on-call and create the bridge — all by hand.
EVA takes 3 seconds. Click the button, say the problem, and everything is done.
The engineer who is frantically fixing the problem doesn't have time to type. EVA gives them back those 3–5 minutes on every P1, every time.
[!STAT] 3–5 minutes saved per P1 intake. At a P1 cost of $708 per minute, that's real money recovered on the very first incident.
EVA + Microsoft Teams
EVA works inside Microsoft Teams too. Click 🎤 in Teams, or use the bot command.
`@SLAShield create P1 payment gateway down`
Same result, no Slack needed. See the native Teams Bot guide and the Teams integration page.

| Voice incident creation | ❌ | ✅ 3 seconds |

| AI classification | ❌ | ✅ 95% accuracy |
| Auto-page on-call | ❌ | ✅ |

Real Example
Here is EVA in action during a real P1.
2:17:00 AM — Datadog alert fires. Payment gateway down.
2:17:03 AM — Engineer clicks 🎤 on their phone.
2:17:06 AM — Speaks: "Create P1 — payment gateway returning 500 errors. Checkout impacted. High urgency."
2:17:09 AM — Three seconds later:
- ✅ INC-051 created
- Severity: P1 (AI classified)
- On-call: Maya Chen (paged)
- Bridge: Teams link ready
- NOVA: 4 stakeholders notified
By 2:17:09 AM the engineer is already fixing the problem. Not filling out a form, not logging into a dashboard, not sending Slack messages. Just fixing.
