AI Agent is unable to answer
Others (default, cannot be removed)

Branch Name	Description	Configuration

Branch Name	Description	Configuration
That helped/ That answered it/ That's it	This branch handles the situation when the AI Agent answers a question successfully.	You can select the button description that triggers this branch. Of course, if the customer replies Nice, Good, etc., it will also be identified as this branch. Enabled by default for all AI Agent Steps and cannot be removed.
Get more help/ Wait for the team/ Talk to an agent	This branch handles the situation when the customer requests to speak to a human agent.
