What is Invisible handoff?
A transition between AI and human the customer never notices. Context carries over intact.
An invisible handoff is a transition between AI and human (or back again) that the customer never notices. Context, tone, and full conversation history pass automatically, and the human picks up exactly where the AI left off.
Seamless handoffs are a core trust-building mechanism: clunky transitions are where customers lose confidence in the whole experience.
