@millions-hair-24956 how could VoicePipelineAgent receive typed text messages, rather than just voice?

To enable the

VoicePipelineAgent

to receive typed text messages, you can use the

ChatManager

to listen for incoming chat messages and process them. Here's a basic example of how you can achieve this: 1. Set up a ChatManager: Use the

ChatManager

to listen for incoming text messages in the room. 2. Process Incoming Messages: When a message is received, append it to the chat context and generate a response using the LLM. Here's a code snippet based on the provided data sources:

import asyncio
from livekit import rtc
from livekit.agents import VoicePipelineAgent, llm

async def entrypoint(ctx):
    # Connect to the room
    await ctx.connect(auto_subscribe=rtc.AutoSubscribe.AUDIO_ONLY)
    
    # Wait for a participant to join
    participant = await ctx.wait_for_participant()
    
    # Initialize the agent
    agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
        vad=ctx.proc.userdata["vad"],
        stt=ctx.proc.userdata["stt"],
        llm=ctx.proc.userdata["llm"],
        tts=ctx.proc.userdata["tts"],
        chat_ctx=llm.ChatContext()
    )
    
    # Start the agent
    agent.start(ctx.room, participant)
    
    # Set up chat manager
    chat = rtc.ChatManager(ctx.room)

    async def answer_from_text(txt: str):
        chat_ctx = agent.chat_ctx.copy()
        chat_ctx.append(role="user", text=txt)
        stream = agent.llm.chat(chat_ctx=chat_ctx)
        await agent.say(stream)

    @chat.on("message_received")
    def on_chat_received(msg: rtc.ChatMessage):
        if msg.message:
            asyncio.create_task(answer_from_text(msg.message))

# Run the application
if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli.run_app(WorkerOptions(entrypoint_fnc=entrypoint))

This setup allows the

VoicePipelineAgent

to handle both voice and text inputs by appending text messages to the chat context and generating responses using the LLM. Would you like more details on any specific part of this setup?
