How to Combine an AI Agent With Human Handover

To combine an AI agent with human handover, the transition has to be invisible to the customer. A handover that restarts the conversation undoes most of the value the agent created.

What makes handover feel bad

The customer experiences the seam, not the technology.

Being asked to repeat what they already explained
A visible change in tone mid-conversation
Waiting again after the agent had been responding instantly
No indication that a person is now involved

What good handover requires

Preserved context, so the person sees the full exchange
The same thread, rather than a new conversation
Visible agent replies, so the person knows what was promised
Clear triggers, so handover happens for defined reasons
The ability to intervene, not only to be escalated to

How to set it up in Jestor

Connect WhatsApp to Jestor through the official Meta API.
Configure the agent with its instructions and knowledge base.
Monitor its responses in real time; what it said is visible to the team.
Take over mid-conversation, in the same thread, with context preserved.
Define triggers for handover — sentiment, category, or an explicit request.

Why choose Jestor for hybrid support?

Jestor supports human handover natively, with agent responses visible in real time — so a person can step in before a conversation goes wrong rather than after.

Because the conversation is a record rather than a thread in an app, the full history stays with it regardless of who was handling it at any point.
