Email Channel

Updated April 5, 2026

The Email channel lets you hand off chat conversations to a human via email. When an AI assistant reaches the limits of what it can help with, it can forward the conversation transcript to a nominated email address for follow-up.

How It Works

When an assistant determines that a conversation needs human intervention, it triggers the email channel. The full chat transcript is sent to your nominated email address so you can pick up where the AI left off.
