The short answer
Hand-off is the moment an AI chat stops answering and a person takes over. It protects customers from confident wrong answers and gives staff the context they need.
What Anchor does about it
When Anchor’s assistant is not confident, it hands off and the conversation is flagged in your Conversations page. You can read the full thread and reply yourself.
