In livekit agents, what does warm handoff refer to?

Thanks for reaching out, Kenneth. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


In LiveKit agents, a "warm handoff" refers to the seamless transfer of a call from an AI agent to a human operator. This ensures continuity in the conversation, as the AI agent remains on the line during the transfer process to facilitate a smooth transition. For implementation details, you can refer to the example code available at <https://github.com/livekit-examples/python-agents-examples/tree/main/telephony/warm_handoff.py|this link>.
