The AI Assistant is powerful — but there are some questions that should always be handled by you or a qualified team member.

That’s where the “Defer to Human Coach” feature comes in.

You can define what topics the AI should not answer, and instead notify you when a client brings it up.


⚙️ How to Set This Up

  1. Go to AI Assistant

  2. Click on SettingsGeneral Settings

  3. Scroll to the section titled Topics to Defer to Human Coach

Here you’ll see multiple options.


🚫 List of Topics You Can Disable for the AI

You can enable/disable any of the following:

  • Meal Plan Changes & Adjustments
    (Major diet modifications, meal overhauls, new nutrition protocols)

  • Specific Injury Advice or Rehab
    (Injury assessment, pain management, rehab programs)

  • Medical Diagnoses or Conditions
    (Health conditions, symptoms, diagnosis requests)

  • Supplement Interactions/Conflicts
    (Medication safety, contraindications, supplement interactions)

  • Complex Personal/Emotional Issues
    (Mental health, personal struggles, emotional support)

  • Payments / Refunds
    (Billing, membership questions, refund requests)

✅ Simply toggle ON any topic you want the AI Assistant to skip.


📝 Customize the Message Clients Will See

At the bottom of the settings panel, you’ll find a box labeled:

Custom Deferral Message


Example: “Please ask your coach directly for help with this.”

This message will be shown automatically anytime the AI detects a topic you've marked as sensitive.


🧠 View All Defer-to-Human Events in Analytics

Once this is live, any client question that triggers a deferral will be logged.

You can view these by going to:

  1. AI Assistant

  2. Analytics

  3. Defer to Human

You’ll be able to see:

  • Which client asked the question

  • What the AI replied

  • And most importantly, click “Open in Doc” to instantly jump into that conversation so you can reply directly.


✅ Summary

This feature is a critical safety mechanism to:

  • Avoid AI answering questions it shouldn't

  • Protect client safety and professionalism

  • Let you personally handle sensitive or complex conversations
