Gupshup’s site lists Avatar Agent as available. The October 14 launch account describes a video layer for existing messaging agents; support handover details remain unverified.

What changes for users

Pilot one existing support policy question in messaging and video, then request a person. Compare the answers and check what context the recipient actually receives. Record whether the customer must repeat their request. Use that result to judge workflow continuity before expanding the visual interface.

CXOtoday’s launch report says businesses can extend messaging agents to voice and video while retaining knowledge, behaviour and brand identity. It also describes handover to a person when assistance is needed. These remain vendor capability claims.

Vendor-reportedChecked: [launch]

The official site offers brand theming and describes a one-line website embed. This establishes a public product offering, without verifying deployment effort for a specific support environment.

For support teams, a visible face and a successful escalation are separate acceptance criteria. The reviewed pages do not specify which transcript, identity or case details reach the receiving person. We could not establish regional rollout, tenant eligibility or numerical Avatar Agent prices from these pages.
