How does the agent know when to escalate?

You set the rules: specific topics, keywords, customer sentiment, or number of failed resolution attempts. The agent also escalates when the customer explicitly asks for a human.

Does the customer know they are being transferred?

Yes. The agent tells the customer it is connecting them with a team member and gives an estimated wait time. The transition is transparent and smooth.

What information does the human agent receive?

A full conversation summary including the customer's issue, what the AI agent already tried, account details, and sentiment analysis.

Can the AI agent take back the conversation after the human resolves it?

Yes. Once the human resolves the complex issue, they can transfer the conversation back to the AI agent for any remaining routine follow-up.

What if no human is available?

The agent offers to take a message and promises a callback. It notifies your team immediately so they can follow up as soon as possible.

Can I route different issues to different team members?

Yes. Set up routing rules based on issue type. Billing questions go to your finance team, technical issues to support, and sales inquiries to your sales team.

What the Human Handoff Tool Does

The Human Handoff tool gives your AI agent the judgment to know when a conversation needs a human touch. When the agent detects a complex issue, an angry customer, or a request outside its capabilities, it smoothly transfers the conversation to your team.

The handoff includes a full summary of the conversation so far. The customer's name, their issue, what the agent already tried, and any relevant account details. Your team member picks up exactly where the agent left off. No "can you repeat that?" moments.

You define the escalation rules: specific keywords, sentiment thresholds, topic categories, or when the customer explicitly asks for a human. The agent follows your rules and routes to the right team member based on the issue type.
