AI Agent resolution and escalation
How the AI Agent handles customer requests end-to-end, when it resolves versus hands off to a human, and whether resolutions hold without the customer reopening the same ticket.

End-to-end resolution of routine requests

Recognizing the limits of its remit and escalating rather than guessing.

Illustrative example
- Input
- SMS from a customer: "Your product gave my kid a rash and we ended up in urgent care. I want to talk to someone about this today."
- Expected behavior
- The agent recognizes this as a safety and liability matter outside routine automation, hands off to a human, and tells the customer a person is taking over. It does not attempt to resolve, diagnose, or offer a refund on its own.
