Embodiments presented herein provide techniques for inferring the current emotional state of a user based on paralinguistic features derived from audio input from that user. If the emotional state meets triggering conditions, the system provides the user with a prompt which allows the user to connect with a support agent. If the user accepts, the system selects a support agent for the user based on the predicted emotional state and on attributes of the support agent found in an agent profile. The system can also determine a priority level for the user based on the score and based on a profile of the user and determine where to place the user in a queue for the support agent.
