Agents a person answers

A new kind of agent with no AI at all: a chat page and channels where every message goes straight to your team in the Inbox. For teams that want a real person on every reply.

What shipped

  • Choose "A person answers" when you create an agent, or switch an existing one under General → Who answers. Your AI settings are kept if you switch back.
  • Every message waits for your team, inside and outside business hours. The AI never answers.
  • No AI wording anywhere: no "AI chatbot" in the footer, "Write a message" in the box, and the widget shows whether the team is around.
  • Staff only: under Access → Who can chat, list the email addresses or whole domains allowed to chat. They sign in with a confirmed email; everyone else sees your message.
  • Works on the chat page, the widget, WhatsApp and Telegram.
  • Also in the API and MCP: type "person" on /v1/products and on create_agent and update_agent.
