Guardrails, built in
Hard limits enforced as code — not suggestions. This is what makes it safe to run.
- Verify identity before sharing any account or personal info.
- Never give advice or commitments outside approved info.
- Follow escalation and emergency protocols exactly.
- Maintain a professional, on-brand tone always.
When it hands off to a human
It knows the edge of its lane. It escalates — it never guesses — when:
- A caller is distressed, urgent, or reports an emergency.
- A request needs a decision or info beyond approved scope.
- Identity can’t be verified for a sensitive request.
- A VIP or escalation requires a specific person.
