Why it matters
A well-designed agent can handle more realistic conversations: mixed questions, topic changes, price doubts, and requests for help all at once.
How to apply it
How to work it
The conversation should keep context, allow concrete actions, and escalate when the case can no longer be solved through automation.
Step 1
Read the real intent
The agent tries to understand what the customer wants to achieve, not just which words they typed.
Step 2
Use context and tools
With catalog, cart, payment, or support data, the agent can answer better than a generic model.
Step 3
Resolve or escalate
If it can move forward, it does; if not, it organizes the case for a person.
Practical checklist
No keyword dependency
The AI relies on context, not fragile rules, to decide what to do.
Keeps the thread
The conversation stays coherent even if the user changes topics or types poorly.
Knows when to stop
If the situation requires human judgment, the system does not push too far.
