Human-in-the-Loop™

Your AI Receptionist Knows When to Involve Your Team

The AI recognizes situations that need a person and transfers or routes the conversation with available context.

Human-in-the-Loop™

Your team defines business hours, escalation rules, call routing, message workflows, and approved responses.

Team Takeover™

A team member can accept a call transfer or continue a digital conversation with full available context—collaboration, not failure.

Team Takeover™ by channel

Takeover is how your front desk and AI employee collaborate—not a failure mode. Behavior is not identical across channels.
