Brilo AI Automatic Transfer lets a Brilo AI voice agent move an active call to the right human or queue automatically when configured. It supports transfer modes such as direct forwarding (cold transfer) and transfer with context (warm transfer). Transfers are triggered by caller requests, low confidence in intent, or predefined routing rules and include handoff metadata so the receiving human does not need the caller to repeat details. Automatic Transfer is configurable in the Brilo AI console and can be tested before you enable it in production.

Can Brilo AI automatically transfer calls? Yes — Brilo AI Automatic Transfer can route calls automatically based on rules or caller requests.

Will the human agent get context after transfer? Yes — Brilo AI sends structured handoff metadata and summaries during warm transfers.

What causes an automatic transfer? Transfers can be triggered by a caller asking for a human, low confidence scores, or escalation rules.

Enterprises ask about Automatic Transfer because awkward or failed handoffs hurt customer experience and increase resolution time. Buyers in healthcare, banking, and insurance need predictable routing, context preservation, and clear escalation rules so regulated or sensitive conversations are handled correctly. Decision-makers want to know whether transfers are automatic, what data travels with the call, and how to prevent dropped or misrouted calls.

When enabled, Brilo AI monitors the live conversation and applies routing rules to decide whether to transfer. The typical flow is: Brilo AI recognizes a transfer condition, captures context, selects a destination from the Phonebook, and executes either a direct forward or a coordinated transfer with the human agent. Brilo AI can attach a short call summary and intent labels to the handoff so the receiving person has immediate context.

In Brilo AI, Automatic Transfer is the configurable behavior that routes active calls to human agents or queues when defined transfer conditions occur.

In Brilo AI, Phonebook is the configured directory of destination endpoints and escalation recipients used for routing decisions.

In Brilo AI, transfer with context is the workflow that sends a structured summary and metadata to the receiving human before or during call pickup.

Brilo AI Automatic Transfer operates within guardrails to prevent routing loops, data leakage, and improper escalation. Common guardrails you should configure include maximum retry attempts, confidence thresholds for automatic handoff, and destination availability checks. Brilo AI will not bypass configured data handling rules; any personal or clinical data transferred must follow your account-level recording and storage settings. If the platform or carrier is unavailable, Brilo AI can apply predefined failover behavior rather than retrying indefinitely.

In Brilo AI, a confidence threshold is the configured numeric limit that triggers escalation when the AI is not sufficiently certain of caller intent.

Brilo AI supports multiple handoff modes:

Escalation triggers include explicit caller requests for a person, sustained low confidence scores after clarifying attempts, or detection of a sensitive topic. Handoffs rely on your Phonebook and destination availability rules to prioritize recipients and avoid dropped calls.

Properly configured Automatic Transfer with context reduces caller repetition, shortens time-to-resolution, and improves first-contact continuity. Enterprises benefit from fewer dropped transfers, reduced manual coordination among staff, and clearer analytics around when and why handoffs occur. For regulated environments, structured handoffs help auditors and supervisors understand escalation patterns without increasing compliance risk when paired with proper recording and retention settings.

Does Brilo AI support both warm and cold transfers?

Yes. Brilo AI supports cold transfer (direct forward) and transfer with context (warm transfer) so you can choose the handoff style that matches your team workflow and telephony capabilities.

Will the receiving agent see a transcript of the call?

Brilo AI can include recent transcript snippets and structured intent labels as part of the handoff metadata; full transcript access depends on your Brilo AI account settings and data retention policies.

What if the human endpoint is unavailable?

If a destination does not answer, Brilo AI can follow configured failover behavior such as trying an alternate recipient, leaving a voicemail, queuing the call, or capturing structured caller details for callback.

Can Automatic Transfer be triggered by low AI confidence?

Yes. You can set a confidence threshold so Brilo AI automatically escalates when the detected intent confidence falls below the configured limit.

Are transfer attempts logged for analytics?

Yes. Brilo AI records transfer attempts, outcomes, and transfer timing so you can analyze transfer success rates and optimize routing rules.
