How can I get to a live agent in the chat?

I don't want to ask my actual question here, for other users to read, because it regards billing and personal data,  already tried multiple devices, so please don't recommend clearing my cache or other browsers.

I just need to know what to say to the AI bot to get me to a live agent.  The website keeps treating me like a new customer.

@user_il6gj7 I appreciate you creating the post after originally sending the unsolicited direct message. I definitely want to help investigate the billing concern further, and will follow up with you there to continue.

So there's no way to bypass the AI to get to an actual person anymore? Everytime I have a problem I have to come and create a thread and wait to be invited to message? 

That's inconvient. I just want to get to live support via live chat.

u/user_il6gj7 Correct, a post is needed on the forum to engage. The design of the forum is not for direct messages or Ai. It is to post questions in a public forum, and have the community or employees add solutions to the post. That helps the original poster, as well anybody else visiting the forum which has the same question. Add your concern or questions, avoid posting any personal information, and it will be answered as soon as possible. For a live chat session use the Xfinity Assistant here https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant.
