Knows exactly when to step aside

Human Support Handoff

The safety net across every agent. When a conversation needs a real person — a complaint, a sensitive request, an edge case — it detects it and alerts your team with full context.

Without this agent

Without it, either everything gets escalated — defeating the point of automation — or nothing does, and an upset customer sits stuck talking to a bot.

What this agent handles
  • Detects frustration & intent to escalate
  • Recognises out-of-scope requests
  • Alerts the right team member
  • Passes the full conversation context
  • Confirms the handoff to the customer
Automation your customers trust — because a human is one message away.

Under the hood

How this agent actually works

From your approved data to a sent reply, in four steps.

1

Watches every conversation

Across all your other agents, not just this one — handoff is the safety net underneath everything.

2

Recognizes the signals

Frustration, urgency, out-of-scope requests, or a direct ask for a person.

3

Prepares full context

The whole conversation history goes with the handoff — no re-explaining.

4

Alerts your team and reassures the customer

Your team gets notified immediately, and the customer gets a clear, calm confirmation.

Still skeptical?

This is the third time I've had to explain this!!

I'm really sorry for the run-around. I'm escalating this to a team member with your full history so you don't have to repeat it.
