live support

Critical medical intervention

Live support is real-time assistance from a human rather than automated systems or self-service options.

The term typically refers to customer service available through phone, chat, or video: I finally got through to live support after twenty minutes on hold.

The "live" distinguishes it from FAQs, chatbots, or email responses that may take hours or days.
