* Real-time chat communication
* Human handover from AI to technician
* Technician allocation based on configured algorithms
* Chat history and session tracking
* AI-generated conversation summaries

## **How does it work?**

* A requester initiates a conversation from the Workspace module in the [Self-Service Portal.](https://docs.infraon.io/infinity-self-service-portal)
* The AI assistant responds to the requester, providing troubleshooting guidance or ticket-related assistance.
* If additional support is required, the requester can request a live technician handover.
* The AI confirms the handover request and transfers the chat to an available technician.
* The system assigns a technician based on the configured allocation algorithm.
* The technician receives the complete conversation context, including AI-generated summaries and user intent details.
* Both requester and technician can continue the conversation in real time until the issue is resolved.
* Chat sessions, actions, and conversation history are automatically stored for future reference and audit purposes.
