Is there a configuration for the agent to speak first as soon as there is another participant in the room?

Thanks for reaching out, Anne. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Absolutely, you can set up the agent to speak first as soon as someone else joins the room in LiveKit. Here are a couple of ways to do it: 1. Using `agent.generate_reply()`: • Start the agent with
agent.start(room)
without picking a specific participant. This way, the agent connects to the very first participant who joins. • Then, use
agent.generate_reply()
to have the agent chime in right after that participant connects. 2. Using Event Handling: • Keep an ear out for the
ParticipantConnected
event in the room. • When a new participant joins, just call
agent.generate_reply()
to get the agent talking. For real-time models,
generate_reply()
is usually the best way to go. If you want me to walk you through it or have any questions, just give me a shout! Sources: agent.py | Agent speech and audio | LiveKit Docs
