# \(Legacy\) Using NLU Virtual Agent with a live agent

Sometimes a conversation requires human intervention. When this occurs, you can transfer the user to a live agent in Agent Chat.

Virtual Agent and Agent Chat conversations that are abandoned by requesters remain open until they are automatically closed by the scheduled job, **Time Out Abandoned VA Conversations**. This job runs hourly each day.
