What's min_interruption_duration in AgentSession API?

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



The `min_interruption_duration` parameter in the `AgentSession` API defines the minimum detected speech duration (in seconds) before triggering an interruption. By default, this value is set to `0.5` seconds, meaning a user must speak for at least half a second for the system to recognize it as an interruption of the agent's turn. This parameter helps control the sensitivity of the system to user interruptions in voice AI conversations.
