Human Handover for Conversation AI
Your AI bot can now automatically hand off conversations to a human when it detects it's no longer the best fit to assist. Whether it’s a complex question, repeated failures, or a direct request like “Can I speak to a human?”, the bot ensures your customers aren’t left frustrated.
This feature is released via labs
