How can i make an agent wait longer before responding

Thanks for reaching out, Benjamin. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To make an agent wait longer before responding, you can adjust the following settings: • Adjust the
minEndpointingDelay
parameter:
This controls the delay before considering user speech done. The default is 500ms (0.5 seconds), and you can increase this value to make the agent wait longer. • Configure session-level parameters: Set
min_endpointing_delay
(default: 0.5s) for high-confidence turn endings and
max_endpointing_delay
(default: 6.0s) for low-confidence turn endings. • Use a turn detection model: Install the turn detector plugin (
livekit-plugins-turn-detector
) and initialize the agent with the model. This model uses conversational context to determine when a user is truly finished speaking, waiting longer when it predicts the user is not done with their turn. If you need further assistance with implementing these changes, feel free to ask!
