What is Barge-in (interruptions)?
Barge-in is a voice agent's ability to stop talking and listen when the caller interrupts, the way a person would, instead of finishing its sentence first.
What it means for your business
Without it, callers talk over the agent and get frustrated. Good agents also ignore background noise and short sounds like "mm-hm" so they do not stop for nothing.
