Is there an option in livekit to remotely force the ai bot to say something specific?

Thanks for reaching out, Ankit. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

Yes, LiveKit provides options to make an AI bot say something specific. Here are two approaches: • Using the
say
method in the PhoneAssistant class: This method allows you to programmatically instruct the assistant to say a specific message. For example:

Copy code

async def say(self, message: str) -> None:
    if self.model and hasattr(self.model, 'sessions'):
        session = self.model.sessions[0]
        session.conversation.item.create(
            llm.ChatMessage(
                role="assistant",
                content=f"Using your voice to respond, please say: {message}"
            )
        )
        session.response.create()

• Using predefined messages: You can also define a list of messages and randomly select one for the bot to say. For example:

Copy code

thinking_messages = [
    "Let me look that up...",
    "One moment while I check...",
    "I'll find that information for you...",
    "Just a second while I search...",
    "Looking into that now..."
]

async def enrich_with_rag(...):
    await agent.say(random.choice(thinking_messages))
