Flow AI

Guardrails & hybrid human handoff

System prompts, confidence thresholds, and agent escalation.

Configuring persona & guardrails

Under AI Agent Settings, define:

  • System Instructions: Define persona (e.g., "You are a friendly support assistant for Acme Corp. Be concise, polite, and professional.").
  • Language: Specify default languages or enable automatic multilingual translation.
  • Confidence Threshold: Minimum similarity score required to answer. If a query falls below this score, the AI triggers human escalation.

Automated handoff triggers

Flow automatically transitions conversations to human agents when:

  • A customer explicitly asks for human help (e.g., "talk to agent", "human please").
  • The AI cannot find sufficient information in the knowledge base.
  • A customer expresses frustration or negative sentiment.

When escalation occurs, the thread moves to the Open queue, the AI pauses on that thread, and online agents receive an instant notification.
