Sometimes, your AI Assistant will need help—especially for complex or sensitive issues.


When Should You Take Over?

Take over when:

  • The AI doesn’t have an answer.

  • The customer specifically asks to speak with a human.

  • You want to provide a personal touch.


👤 How to Take Over a Chat

  1. In the Inbox, open the conversation.

  2. Click Take Over Chat in the top bar.

  3. You’ll see confirmation that you are now replying manually.

While you have taken over:

  • The AI Assistant stops responding.

  • Only you can send replies.


📝 How to Hand Back to the AI

When you’re done assisting:

  1. Click Hand Over to AI at the top of the conversation.

  2. The AI will resume monitoring and replying to any new messages.


Important:
Conversations remain open even after you hand them back. The AI will continue until the customer leaves or stops responding.


🧠 Recording Your Responses

All messages you write are saved in the chat history.
Your replies are also used to improve the AI’s knowledge:

  • Chats you take over appear in Unresolved Inquiries > Handed Over.

  • You can turn them into Knowledge entries later.
