What is Human Takeover?

Human takeover allows you to step into an ongoing conversation with your AI agent, providing personalized assistance when needed.
Plan availability: Standard or higher. See Plans & Billing.

​
When to Take Over

Consider taking over when:
  • Customer explicitly requests a human
  • Issue is complex or sensitive
  • Agent confidence is low
  • Special circumstances arise
  • Upsell or sales opportunity

​

​
Auto-Escalation Triggers

Configure your agent to automatically request human help when:
  • Negative sentiment detected
  • Multiple failed response attempts
  • Specific keywords mentioned (“speak to manager”)
  • Complex scenarios identified
  • High-value customer detected
Set up in Settings > Agent > Escalation Rules.

​
Best Practices

When you take over, respond within 1-2 minutes. Users expect faster responses from humans.
Start with “Hi, I’m [Name] from the team. I’m here to help you with…”
Review what the agent already discussed to avoid repeating questions.
Once resolved, you can hand back to the AI for follow-up questions.
