How AI Call Transfer Works
How Floo Transfers an AI Voice Call to a Human Agent
Floo continuously analyzes each voice conversation to determine whether the AI agent can complete the interaction or whether a human should take over. Transfer decisions can be based on caller intent, sentiment, account value, keywords, conversation history, or custom business rules.

Transfer the Call With Context

AI agent → human
Watch a transfer happen, in milliseconds.
Sentiment, intent, account, history, decision. Every signal Floo detects flows to the human before they say hello.
Unlike a standard phone transfer, Floo's AI call transfer keeps the conversation context attached to the call. The receiving agent can see the transcript, caller intent, sentiment, account information, and conversation history before speaking with the customer.

What it does
AI Call Transfer Features
Built for the call, not the demo.
01Step 01
Intent-based routing
Route AI voice calls automatically based on what the caller needs. Configure routing rules in plain English, and Floo decides whether the call should go to sales, billing, customer support, escalation, or a specialist based on caller intent and conversation signals.
- Plain-language routing rules
- Conditional logic (caller value, intent, sentiment)
- Round-robin, skills-based, or priority queues
02Step 02
Warm or cold transfers
Choose between warm and cold AI call transfers based on the workflow. A warm call transfer briefs the human agent before connecting the caller, while a cold call transfer immediately routes the call to the selected agent, team, or phone number.
- Whisper handoff to agent before connect
- Full transcript pinned to the agent's screen
- Caller never repeats themselves
03Step 03
Context-Aware AI-to-Human Handoff
When a human agent takes over, Floo passes the conversation context instead of simply forwarding the phone call. The transcript, caller intent, sentiment, detected entities, account details, and CRM information are available as the transfer happens.
- Live transcript streaming
- Sentiment + intent flags
- CRM auto-update (HubSpot, Salesforce, native API)
