When AI isn't enough, a human steps in

The best of both worlds

Automation is great until a customer needs something only a person can solve. Live Chat keeps that moment smooth: the same conversation flows from your AI assistant straight to a human agent, without losing a single message or making the visitor repeat themselves.

  • Hand off complex or sensitive questions in one click
  • Agents see the entire conversation, not just the last message
  • Visitors stay in the same chat window the whole time

How the handoff works

From an AI answer to a live human, in seconds — without the visitor ever leaving the chat.

1

AI handles the chat

Your chatbot answers questions automatically, resolving the everyday requests on its own.

2

Handoff is triggered

When the question gets complex, the conversation is escalated to a human agent.

3

Your team is notified

Available agents get the conversation in real-time, complete with the full message history.

4

Agent takes over

A human picks up right where the AI left off and replies live, then can hand it back when done.

When a human makes the difference

The AI covers most of the volume. For everything else, your team is one handoff away — see how it plays out.

E-commerce & orders

Order-specific changes that the AI shouldn't decide on its own land with a real agent instantly.

Can you change the shipping address on order #2291?

Of course — I've pulled up order #2291 and updated the address. You'll get a fresh confirmation by email shortly.

Billing & refunds

Money matters often need a human judgment call. Escalate them without losing context.

I was charged twice this month — can someone look into it?

I see the duplicate charge on your account and I've started the refund. It'll be back on your card within a few business days.

Technical support

When troubleshooting goes beyond the docs, an agent jumps in with the full thread already loaded.

I followed the setup guide but the widget still won't load.

Thanks for the details — I can see your setup. Let's check one config value together; I'll walk you through it right here.

Sales & enterprise

High-intent visitors get a real person before they cool off, turning interest into a conversation.

We're a team of 200 — do you offer custom enterprise plans?

We do! I'm connecting you with our team now so we can tailor a plan and pricing to 200 seats.

Sensitive requests

Complaints and account issues deserve a human touch — the handoff is seamless and respectful.

I'm really frustrated, this is the third time I've had this problem.

I'm sorry this keeps happening — I'm taking over personally now and we'll get it sorted today.

When AI is unsure

If the assistant can't answer confidently, it routes the visitor to a teammate instead of guessing.

Does this work with our internal compliance system?

Great question — let me bring in a specialist who can confirm the exact compatibility for your setup.
