When Should a Chatbot Hand Over to a Human?

The best support teams use AI to answer the repetitive questions instantly and save people for the moments that need judgment, empathy or a refund.

Always hand over when

  • The customer asks for a person, in any words.
  • Money is involved: refunds, billing errors, cancellations.
  • The bot is not sure of the answer.
  • The customer is upset. A fast, human “I am sorry, I am on it” is worth more than a perfect paragraph.

Make the hand-off smooth
