AI Escalation Queue · New in AIX

The AI knows when to flag a chat for your team.

Every bot conversation gets evaluated in real time. The ones that need a human — callback requests, unresolved issues, and low-confidence answers — land in the AI Escalation Queue with the AI's reasoning attached, and an email lands in your inbox.

Why this matters

The chat ends, but the follow-up shouldn't.

Most chatbots leave a trail of conversations that quietly need human attention — callback requests with a phone number left behind, questions the bot couldn't answer, and replies the model wasn't confident about.

ChatBeacon catches all of it. The AI reads every transcript, decides what needs a human, writes a flag note explaining why, and routes it to the right queue.

Without escalation
Visitor left a phone number — and the chat closed.
The bot said "I'll flag this" — but flag it to whom?
Three days later: "I'm switching providers."
With the AI Escalation Queue
Callback request lands in the queue with the visitor's number and a flag note.
Email hits sales@ in under 30 seconds — with the AI's reasoning.
The right person picks it up before the visitor follows up.
THREE flag Types

The AI sorts them automatically.

Every flag falls into one of three buckets — color-coded across the queue, the emails, and the operator console. No taxonomy to maintain, no rules to write.

📞
Callback Requests
Callback
The visitor asked for someone to call them back. The bot collected contact info, time preference, and topic — and the queue captures all of it for the right team to follow up.
🔴
Unresolved Issues
Unresolved
The bot hit a wall — no knowledge-base content, a platform bug, a billing dispute it can't process. The queue gets a churn-risk note and the conversation gets a human.
⚠️
Low Confidence Responses
Low Confidence
The bot answered, but the model's confidence was below threshold. The flag includes the score and the AI's note on whether the answer needs verification before it gets cited.
The AI Escalation queue

Every flag, with the reasoning.

The queue lives inside the Operator Console — live, auto-refreshing, filterable by priority and queue. Each card carries the AI's flag note and full transcript, ready for one-click claim.

How it works

Four steps. One queue.

Every flagged chat flows the same way — evaluated, classified, queued, and emailed.

1
AI evaluates

Every bot conversation gets scored in real time — model confidence, intent, sentiment, and whether the visitor explicitly asked for a callback.

2
Flag & cite

Chats that need a human get classified into one of three types — Callback, Unresolved, or Low Confidence — with a plain-English flag note.

3
Queue & email

The flag lands in the AI Escalation Queue and a system email goes out to the right inbox (sales, support, or billing) within 30 seconds.

4
Pick up

Your agent opens the queue, sees the transcript, the AI flag note, and the suggested next step — then claims, calls back, or replies.

system email

No one watching the queue? We'll email you.

The moment the AI flags a conversation, ChatBeacon emails the right inbox automatically — with the AI's reasoning, the visitor's contact details, and a one-click jump back into the queue.

🔔
Sent the moment a flag is raised — No polling, no batch — the email lands in under 30 seconds.
📥
Routes by queue — Sales flags go to sales@, support to support@, billing to billing@.
AI reasoning in the body — Reads like a triage note — not a generic "you have a new chat" alert.

faq

Common questions.

How does the AI decide what to flag?
Blue plus sign icon.

It reads every turn in real time and evaluates the conversation across multiple signals — model confidence, intent, sentiment, whether the visitor asked for a callback, and whether the bot hit a knowledge-base gap. When the AI determines a human is needed, it classifies the chat into one of three flag types (Callback, Unresolved, Low Confidence) and writes a plain-English note explaining the reasoning.

What are the three flag types?
Blue plus sign icon.

Callback Requests (visitor left contact info asking for follow-up), Unresolved Issues (the bot couldn't answer — no KB content, platform bug, escalation needed), and Low Confidence Responses (the bot answered but with confidence below threshold, so the response may need verification).

What does the AI Escalation Queue show me?
Blue plus sign icon.

Every flagged conversation in one live queue — KPI tiles up top (open events, callback requests, unresolved issues, low confidence), priority filters (urgent / needs attention / informational), and queue filters (sales / support / billing). Each event card shows the AI flag note, the full transcript, visitor details, and one-click actions (claim, assign, snooze, dismiss).

When does the system email get sent?
Blue plus sign icon.

The moment the AI raises a flag. The email goes to whichever inbox matches the queue (sales@, support@, billing@) and contains the AI's flag note, visitor contact details, and a one-click link back to the dashboard.

Is this rules-based or AI-based?
Blue plus sign icon.

Fully AI-based. The model evaluates each conversation holistically — you don't maintain keyword rules, decision trees, or escalation thresholds. The AI reads the transcript in context and decides what needs a human.

Is AI Escalation a separate product or add-on?
Blue plus sign icon.

No. The queue, email notifications, and AI-cited flag notes are part of every ChatBeacon AIX plan — including Starter. No per-flag fees, no upgrade required.
