A computer-implemented method, apparatus, computer program product for intervention in a conversation between a virtual agent and a user is disclosed. In the computer-implemented method, a risk level of the conversation is evaluated. In response to the risk level being higher than a threshold, it is indicated that the conversation needs an intervention by a human agent. In response to the human agent intervening in the conversation, the conversation is handed over from the virtual agent to the human agent. Then, a simulative conversation is generated according to the conversation between the user and the human agent. In response to a determination by the human agent based on the simulative conversation, the conversation is handed over from the human agent to the virtual agent.
