AI Agent Handoff: How Team Communication Connects Automation with Human Support
A mid-sized company asks an AI agent to onboard a new starter. The agent creates the email account. It adds the person to the right channels. It books the induction sessions and raises a laptop request. Then it reaches the finance-system access step. The request goes to an approver whose mailbox returns an out-of-office reply. The workflow has no rule for that. The agent is built to keep moving, so it skips the step. It reports: “onboarding complete.” Nobody notices for nine days.
