When does Autopilot AI hand a chat to a person?

08 Nov 2026 1 min read বাংলায় পড়ুন

Autopilot AI does not try to answer everything. When it should not answer, it tells the customer that a person from your team will reply, and leaves the chat to your people.

When it hands over

  • It does not know the answer, for example a price or stock you never taught it.
  • The customer asks about an order already placed, or wants to change or cancel one.
  • The customer complains.
  • The customer sends only a photo, voice message or file. The AI does not open them.
  • The customer asks to talk to a person.

What happens next

Where What you see
Website live chat The chat is marked needs you for the person chosen in Live chat settings. Once someone from your team answers, the AI stays quiet in that chat.
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp inbox The chat keeps waiting for a seller, and the sellers' answer clock goes on. The AI stays quiet in that chat until a person has answered.
Try as a customer The test shows Here the AI would hand the chat to a person.

Good to know

  • Fewer handovers = more taught answers. If the AI often hands over on the same question, teach it the answer in Teach your AI.
  • Your rules count too. Teach a rule like "Always hand over when someone asks for a wholesale price" and it will.
  • A person always gets the last word. As soon as your team answers, the AI never talks over them in that chat.
