Transferring a conversation from an AI agent to a human representative while preserving the full context—conversation history, customer sentiment, intent classification, and any actions already taken. A warm handoff means the human picks up exactly where the agent left off, avoiding the frustration of customers repeating themselves. Contrast with a cold handoff where the human starts with no context.
A support agent detects rising frustration and transfers to a human, passing along: 'Customer is asking about a delayed order #4521, shipped 5 days ago, tracking shows stuck in transit. Customer tone is frustrated. Agent already offered a tracking link—customer wants a refund or reshipment.'
