using the google.beta.realtime.RealtimeModel how do i send an intro message?

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

i need it to say an exact string

Hey there! Let me walk you through how you can have an agent say exactly what you want. I totally get how important precise communication can be. • First option: Use

generate_reply()

with a friendly hint: You can tell the model to "Say exactly: '[Your message here]'". Here's a quick example:

session.generate_reply(
    instructions="Say exactly: 'Hello, welcome to our service. How can I help you today?'"
)

Just a heads up though - realtime models can be a bit unpredictable. They might accidentally paraphrase or tweak the text a little because of how they naturally generate language . • Second option (and my recommendation): Add a TTS plugin for guaranteed exact speech: Pop in a TTS plugin to your

AgentSession

, and then use `session.say()`:

await session.say("Welcome! This is my exact intro message.")

This method is super reliable and makes sure your message comes out word-for-word . Quick summary: Want total control? Go with

session.say()

and a TTS plugin. If you're using

generate_reply()

, just know the exact wording isn't a sure thing. Sources: Realtime model integrations | LiveKit Docs | Agent speech | LiveKit Docs | packages/sip--make-a-call/src/agent.ts
