Human handoff
Crescendo
Unlike software-only vendors, Crescendo can supply the humans on the receiving end of an escalation: it acquired outsourcing provider PartnerHero in October 2024, PartnerHero's site states "PartnerHero is now powered by Crescendo" and offers "Exceptional outsourced teams ... Fully managed end-to-end service", so handoff can mean transfer to Crescendo-managed specialists rather than only to the buyer's own agents.Vendor-reported

Side by side
Product attributes first, then what the sources establish for each customer workflow, then the industries they place each agent in. Open any claim to see its source, the date it was checked, and how to request a correction. Two agents are rarely documented to the same depth, so read a difference between the two columns as a difference in the public record before reading it as a difference in the products.
What this agent was judged by
The independent evidence behind these states comes mainly from analysts and trade press.States rest on 1 independent source across analysts and trade press. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.

| Workflow evidenceBilling Illustrative scenario I was charged twice for the same order. Can you refund the extra payment? What to verify: Verify identity, inspect payment records, apply the refund policy, and confirm the payment-system result. If no authorized refund action is connected, hand off with the evidence. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | External report PolyAI's own handoff documentation names billing disputes as an example of a conversation the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving. 2 cited claims for billing on PolyAIPolyAI's integrations page lists "billing & payments" among the functions its agents perform against connected systems.Vendor-reported
TechCrunch reported that PolyAI's voice assistants complete tasks including payment processing for contact-centre callers.Independent report
|
| Workflow evidenceOrders Illustrative scenario My order has not arrived. Where is it? What to verify: Retrieve the correct order and current carrier status. Distinguish a real tracking update from an estimate; do not invent a delivery date. | Vendor-documented No independent confirmation of order-modification actions was found; the developer documentation lists lead qualification, meeting scheduling, form completion and tagging as actions, without order operations. 1 cited claim for orders on CrescendoCrescendo states its Concierge agent performs "status lookups, account updates, order changes" and closes issues without involving a human.Vendor-reported

| Workflow evidenceReturns Illustrative scenario I bought this 12 days ago and opened the box. Can I return it? What to verify: Check the actual return window, product exclusions, and order record. A policy answer and an executed return are different capabilities. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceProduct questions Illustrative scenario Does this adapter work with my exact laptop model? What to verify: Use a current, approved compatibility source. Ask for the model when missing and distinguish documented compatibility from an assumption. | External report Crescendo's Shopify assistant is described as a "dual-purpose AI assistant" that "guides customers to products, answers questions, and helps them complete purchases", with chat and voice support. 2 cited claims for product questions on CrescendoCrescendo's Shopify assistant is described as a "dual-purpose AI assistant" that "guides customers to products, answers questions, and helps them complete purchases", with chat and voice support.Vendor-reported
CX Today reported that Crescendo launched an AI shopping assistant on the Shopify App Store covering "product discovery, personalized recommendations, and customer support", unveiled at NRF 2026.Independent report
| Vendor-documented URL ingestion is documented as limited to one level below the starting URL and a maximum of ten embedded pages, and the Zendesk and Gladly knowledge syncs are marked beta. Those constrain one ingestion route rather than the capability itself, so they are recorded here rather than as a gap. No independent evidence of answer quality was found, so the verdict stays unknown. 1 cited claim for product questions on PolyAIPolyAI documents curated FAQ topics, retrieval-augmented generation, and external knowledge sources ingested from URLs, files (PDF, Office, CSV, JSON, HTML and others) and helpdesk knowledge bases.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceAccount issues Illustrative scenario I lost access to my email. Change the address on my account. What to verify: Follow the approved identity-recovery process before accessing or changing account data. Escalate when identity cannot be verified. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceComplaints Illustrative scenario I have contacted you three times and the problem is still unresolved. What to verify: Recognize the repeat complaint, retain relevant history, and route it to the right team. Do not promise compensation outside the policy. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Caveat documented PolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously. 1 cited claim for complaints on PolyAIPolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceHuman handoff Illustrative scenario Please connect me to a person who can approve this exception. What to verify: Transfer to an available team with the conversation and relevant records. Outside working hours, explain the actual follow-up path rather than promise immediate contact. | External report Handoff here is not only a software escalation: the humans on the receiving end can be supplied by Crescendo itself (via the acquired PartnerHero workforce) or by partner BPOs, so a buyer may be purchasing the escalation tier as well as the AI. The independent article's description of the handoff is sourced to partner and vendor executives quoted by the reporter. 2 cited claims for human handoff on CrescendoCrescendo states that when Concierge escalates it "passes along the entire conversation — customer history, issue context, recommended next action" so the specialist "starts at the answer".Vendor-reported
CX Today reported on the Alorica–Crescendo partnership that AI "handles the heavy lifting upfront" and that "when escalation is needed, that full context is passed seamlessly to a human agent", with Alorica's 100,000+ employees across 16 countries available to augment Crescendo deployments.Independent report
| Caveat documented PolyAI documents voice handoff via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE with escalation context passed through custom X- SIP headers, a Handoff State API endpoint and a Conversations API transcript, plus chat handoff integrations for Salesforce, Zendesk, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex and Five9. 2 cited claims for human handoff on PolyAIPolyAI documents voice handoff via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE with escalation context passed through custom X- SIP headers, a Handoff State API endpoint and a Conversations API transcript, plus chat handoff integrations for Salesforce, Zendesk, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex and Five9.Vendor-reported
PolyAI's handoff documentation states that with the default SIP REFER method "the utterance may not play before the transfer completes because the REFER fires at the same time as function execution", and that inbound SIP voicemail detection on the destination side is "not available by default" for SIP REFER, BYE or INVITE transfers.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceSmall businesses Illustrative scenario A two-person support team wants to launch without a dedicated engineer. What to verify: Validate setup effort, existing help-desk support, required integrations, and ongoing maintenance. A small customer's story alone does not establish suitability for every small business. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here.

Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceEnterprise Illustrative scenario A multi-brand support organization needs controlled access across regional teams. What to verify: Validate data boundaries, audit records, escalation ownership, and the specific deployment requirements. A vendor's enterprise positioning is not proof of these controls. | External report Crescendo's August 2026 platform launch names enterprise and mid-market customers including Grindr, Headspace, Lovepop, Nothing Bundt Cakes, SQUIRE and Good Eggs Grocery. 2 cited claims for enterprise on CrescendoCrescendo's August 2026 platform launch names enterprise and mid-market customers including Grindr, Headspace, Lovepop, Nothing Bundt Cakes, SQUIRE and Good Eggs Grocery.Vendor-reported
