Human Handover

Human handover

AI starts it. Humans close it.

The agent handles the repetitive 80% instantly. The moment a chat needs a person — frustration, a refund edge-case, a VIP — ChatterMate hands off with the full conversation and customer context intact. No “let me repeat that.”

HOW THE HANDOFF WORKS

A handoff, not a dead end.

01

Detects the moment

Rising frustration, an explicit “talk to a human,” or a rule you set — the agent knows when to step aside instead of guessing.

02

Routes to the right agent

Sees who’s online and assigns the conversation — with priority, topic tags and customer history already attached.

03

Hands over full context

The whole thread, order details and what the AI already tried travel with the customer. Your team picks up mid-sentence.

ONE INBOX FOR AI + HUMANS

Every conversation, one place.

Open, pending, closed — AI-handled and human-handled side by side. Filter, search, reassign, and transfer to a human in one click, without losing a word of history.
