Handover, memory and best practices

Get the most out of your AI Agent: know when it steps back, what it remembers, and how to keep it on topic.

Handover to your team

When a conversation is assigned to a team member, the AI Agent stops replying, so your colleague and the agent never answer at the same time. Your colleague picks up with the summary note already in place.

What the agent remembers

For each conversation, the agent uses the last 20 messages together with a running summary of the conversation. That keeps answers consistent, but it also means older details, such as a budget mentioned weeks ago, can still influence replies. If details change, the customer can simply tell the agent.

Keep your agent on topic

Brief your agent to answer only questions about your business. Without clear limits, an AI agent may try to answer anything, from the weather to public figures.

  • State clearly what the agent should and shouldn't talk about.

  • Tell it to hand over when it doesn't know the answer.

  • Check answers about prices and conditions in your tests.

AI can make mistakes

An AI Agent can occasionally give an incorrect answer. Test regularly with real questions and review conversations, especially at the start.
