Answer customer questions and escalate to humans
Real-world thread: after a discovery call on the business, products, and customer flow, the developer assembled a 24/7 AI agent given access to product details, pricing, and payment info. The agent answered questions, handled follow-ups and repeated queries, walked customers through payments by supplying details, notified admins on receiving payment proof screenshots, and requested order details after confirmation. The source describes the system build and handoff flow but states no results, metrics, or shortfalls.

Notes task: answer customer questions and escalate to humans. Propose edits as a checklist, apply after approval, and finish with a short handover.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
