Direct Answer (TL;DR)
How do you prevent the AI from giving unsafe advice? The Brilo AI voice agent prevents unsafe advice by enforcing guardrails, refusal responses, keyword and intent detection, and configured escalation paths. The Brilo AI call center solutions use confidence thresholds (intent detection confidence), refusal wording, fallback replies, and call transfer actions so risky requests are refused or routed to a human via warm transfer (warm transfer) or a safe-flow.
Why This Question Comes Up (problem context)
Contact centers and compliance teams worry that an AI voice agent might accidentally provide medical, legal, or other high-risk guidance. The Brilo AI voice agent appears on phone lines that represent regulated brands. Administrators need a predictable way to stop unsafe advice, provide transparent disclosures, and connect callers to a qualified human without losing context.
How It Works (High-Level)
The Brilo AI voice agent call handling features execute a configured call flow. Brilo AI evaluates caller input with intent detection and confidence thresholds. When a request matches a guarded topic or falls below confidence, the Brilo AI voice agent follows the configured rule. Rules can be a refusal response, a fallback reply, a safe-flow for sensitive topics, or a transfer to a human number in a Phone Book. Session limits and context controls prevent drift when the AI handles long conversations.
Guardrails & Boundaries
Guardrails define permitted actions and stop conditions for the Brilo AI voice agent. Typical guardrails include topic restrictions, confidence threshold settings, refusal templates, and disabled high-risk actions unless a human authorizes them. The Brilo AI voice agent will not guess when required details are missing. If the Brilo AI voice agent cannot safely resolve a request, the configured escalation must be followed. These boundaries reduce the chance of unsafe advice while preserving caller experience.
Applied Examples
The Brilo AI voice agent refuses to provide medical diagnosis and replies with a configured refusal and a transfer offer.
The Brilo AI voice agent detects phrases related to self-harm and immediately triggers a safe-flow that prioritizes warm transfer to a live responder.
The Brilo AI voice agent handles billing questions but transfers legal or contractual questions to a specialist via Phone Book routing.
The Brilo AI voice agent uses a fallback reply when confidence is low and asks permission to connect the caller to a human to avoid providing incorrect guidance.
Human Handoff & Escalation
Human handoff is a primary safety mechanism in AI solutions for call centers. Configure transfer actions so the Brilo AI voice agent executes either a cold transfer (direct handoff) or a warm transfer (calls the human, provides context, then bridges). For safeguarding triggers, mark the call high priority and route immediately to the configured human endpoint. Include a short context summary in the transfer payload so the receiving human does not require the caller to repeat critical details.
Setup Requirements
To prevent unsafe advice with the Brilo AI call center solutions should provide the following inputs and configurations:
Guardrails and refusal templates that list disallowed topics and the exact refusal wording to use.
A curated keyword and intent list for safeguarding triggers and associated actions.
Confidence threshold values for intent detection and fallback behavior.
At least one Phone Book entry or live agent phone number for transfers.
The opening line text for caller disclosure and any required region-specific wording.
Test call scenarios for normal, low-confidence, and high-risk phrases.

Business Outcomes
When the Brilo AI voice agent is configured with guardrails, businesses reduce the risk of unsafe advice reaching callers. The Brilo AI voice agent improves compliance by enforcing disclosure and refusal language consistently. Call volumes routed to humans become higher value because the Brilo AI voice agent filters routine requests and preserves context for escalations. Operational outcomes include fewer compliance incidents and faster human resolution for high-risk cases.
