@millions-hair-24956 Getting <continue> as message if user does not speak something for sometime, how to stop that?

To address the issue of receiving a

<continue>

message when the user does not speak for a while, you can implement a timer that triggers when the user stops speaking. This can be done by using the

user_stopped_speaking

event to start a timer and then clear the timer if the user starts speaking again. If the timer completes, you can prevent the

<continue>

message from being sent by not triggering any further actions. According to this discussion, you can start a timer when either

agent_stopped_speaking

or

user_stopped_speaking

is triggered, and clear the timer if anyone starts speaking. When the timer fires, you can decide not to send a

<continue>

message or any other action you want to avoid. Would you like more detailed guidance on implementing this solution? Sources: - LiveKit Slack Discussion 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@millions-hair-24956 but why we are getting <continue> ?

It seems likely that the

<continue>

message is a placeholder or default response generated by the system when there is a pause in user input, possibly due to a configuration in the conversation flow or the handling of silence. This could be part of the logic to keep the conversation active or to prompt the user to continue speaking. Based on LiveKit's documentation, the system might be configured to handle interruptions or pauses in a specific way, which could include sending a

<continue>

message. Adjusting parameters like

min_endpointing_delay

or handling silence detection more effectively might help in preventing such messages. Would you like more detailed information on how to adjust these settings? Sources: - LiveKit's documentation 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.
