Introduction #

The Human Handover feature allows your AI bot to automatically transfer a conversation to a human agent when it detects that the bot is no longer the best resource to assist the user.

This ensures your customer conversations stay helpful and frustration-free by escalating issues to a person when AI reaches its limits—whether due to knowledge gaps, repeated failures to. resolve complex issues, or user preference – like ” I want to talk to a human “

Why Use This? #

Let’s say you run a marketing agency or a service-based business and use AI bots to handle incoming leads, book appointments, or answer FAQs. While the AI handles most conversations efficiently, some scenarios require human judgment—such as when a customer asks about a discount, reports a system failure, or simply says, “Can I speak to someone?”

With Human Handover, you can:

  • Define scenarios when the bot should automatically hand over to a human.
  • Ensure complex queries are escalated without delay.
  • Maintain a high-quality user experience even when AI can’t help.

This approach leads to:

  • Higher user satisfaction
  • Seamless bot-to-human transitions

Step 1: Enable Human Handover Toggle
Navigate to the Bot Goals interface. Select Human Handover and toggle it ON to configure conditions for handover. #
