    THE CONCEPT//HOW LIVE AGENTS WORK

    A face when you want one. A human when it counts.

    "Live agents" isn't a single product, it's how a PollyBot conversation moves fluidly between three modes: an AI agent, a lifelike video avatar for a face, and human-in-the-loop takeover when a real person is needed. One conversation. One context. No handoff friction.

    // THREE MODES

    Three modes, one conversation

    Each mode is a real capability on the platform. Live agents are simply how they work together.

    Mode 1 · Always on

    The AI agent

    Your Polly agent answers instantly, 24/7, across chat and voice, trained on your business, wired to your tools. It handles the routine on its own.

    Mode 2 · A face when you want one

    A live video avatar

    For high-trust moments, demos, onboarding, premium support, the same agent can appear as a lifelike video avatar. That face is a real product: PollyFace.

    Mode 3 · A human when it counts

    Human-in-the-loop takeover

    When stakes get high, a teammate steps into the same conversation with full context, no repeated questions, no lost history. Human takeover is a feature on paid plans.

    // HANDOFF

    One conversation. No context loss.

    The visitor never repeats themselves, every mode shares the same thread.

    Keep the context

    History and business context stay intact across every mode.

    What "live agents" is, and isn't

    It is

    • A way three capabilities combine in one conversation
    • Avatars (a product) + human takeover (a feature), working together
    • One thread, one context, from AI to face to human

    × It isn't

    • ×A single separate product or SKU to buy
    • ×Fully autonomous "AI humans" that replace your team
    • ×A separate tool with its own disconnected history

    When to reach for a face or a human

    • Sales demos and objection handling
    • Onboarding and setup sessions
    • Enterprise and high-value accounts
    • Sensitive or high-impact support
