Hi, I'd like to change the payment terms on my contract.
Got it. Contract changes are handled by our team, so I'm passing you to them now with this conversation attached.
Hi, this is Laura from the sales team. I can see your request. Which date would work better for your monthly payment?
The 15th would be great, thanks!
What it is

How AI + human handoff works in HellouOne

HellouOne is a shared WhatsApp inbox for teams that want AI agents to answer first and people to take over when it matters. Handover areas decide when the AI agent steps aside, assignment rules pick the person, and each agent sees only the conversations their visibility level allows.

  • Level 1: only their own conversations.
  • Level 2: their own plus their teams' conversations.
  • Level 3: their own, their teams' and unassigned conversations.
  • Level 4: everything in the inboxes they belong to.
  • Level 5: everything in the account.
The problem

Where handoffs break

01

The customer repeats everything

The first reply happens in one place and the follow-up in another. Whoever picks it up asks the same questions again.

02

Nobody knows whose chat it is

Without assignment rules, two people answer the same customer, or nobody does because each thinks the other has it.

03

Everyone sees everything, or nothing

Either the whole team reads every conversation, or managers have no view of what their team is handling.

Capabilities

Everything the handoff needs

Handover areas

Define the topics or moments when the AI agent hands the conversation to a person, and which team receives it.

Assignment rules

Round robin, priority and online-only assignment, so each conversation lands with someone who can answer now. Advanced routing from the Growth plan.

Teams and five visibility levels

Group agents into teams and choose how much each person sees, from their own chats to the whole account.

Private notes and @mentions

Leave internal notes inside the conversation and @mention a colleague. The customer never sees them.

Macros and saved replies

Turn repeated steps into one click: reply, tag, assign and close with a macro, or insert a saved reply.

Sentiment and CSAT

See customer sentiment per conversation and send a CSAT survey as a WhatsApp Flow when the chat is resolved.

Use cases

Where teams use it

Sales handoff

The AI agent answers questions and qualifies, then passes the ready buyer to a salesperson who sees every answer already given.

Support escalation

Simple questions get answered by the AI agent. Complaints, refunds or sensitive cases go straight to the support team.

After-hours coverage

The AI agent replies at night and on weekends, and the conversations that need a person are waiting, assigned, when your team logs in.

Supervision without noise

Managers see their whole team's conversations while each agent only sees their own, thanks to visibility levels.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI agent decide to hand off to a person?
It follows the handover areas you define. You set the topics or situations, like a complaint, a contract change or a request to talk to someone, where the AI agent steps aside. The conversation then goes to the team you chose, with the full chat history attached.
Who gets the conversation after the handoff?
Your assignment rules decide. HellouOne can assign by round robin, by priority or only to agents who are online, and within the team the handover area points to. Advanced routing with priorities, teams and online-only assignment is part of the Growth plan.
What are the five visibility levels?
They control which conversations each agent sees: only their own; their own plus their teams'; those plus unassigned ones; everything in their inboxes; or everything in the account. You pick a level per person, so agents stay focused and managers keep a full view.
Can I measure how customers feel after the conversation?
Yes. HellouOne can send a CSAT survey as a WhatsApp Flow when a conversation is resolved, and the sentiment report shows how customers feel across conversations. Both appear in the reports next to agent, team and conversation metrics.

AI agents take the first reply. People close.
