Its own browser
Take over and hand back
You can take over an Autobot’s browser to click, type and scroll yourself, then hand it back and the Autobot carries on from the page as it is.
Click Take over to drive the Autobot’s browser yourself for a sign-in, a captcha or a tricky step, then Hand back and it carries on from that page.
The problem it solves
Why it matters
Agents get stuck on the same things people do in a hurry: a captcha, a two-step sign-in, a dropdown that will not open. Starting over is the usual fix.
