Hey there! To make sure your OpenAI real-time agent always analyzes in English before replying in French, here’s a simple way to set it up: 1. Set Up Multilingual Input: Try using a plugin like Gladia STT that can handle both English and French. Just enable translation to English for the analysis part: 2. Configure the Agent's Behavior: Give your agent clear instructions to analyze in English but respond in French: 3. Set Up Text-to-Speech (TTS): Use a French-speaking TTS so the responses sound just right: 4. Combine Components: Bring it all together in your agent session like this: And there you go! This setup will help your agent analyze in English and reply in French smoothly. If you have any questions or need a hand, just let me know—I’m here to help!

Here’s a friendly walkthrough on how to use a function tool in OpenAI Realtime to hand off analysis to another agent and then return to the original one: 1. Define a Handoff Function: Start by creating a function tool that transfers control to another agent for the analysis: 2. Implement the Target Agent: Next, set up the agent that will handle the analysis: 3. Return Control to the Original Agent: Then, use another function tool inside the TargetAgent to hand control back: 4. Full Example: Here’s how it all comes together: This setup helps your agents smoothly pass the baton back and forth while keeping everything in context.
