To help with those awkward silences after a tool call or when handing off to an agent, you might want to try out some silence detection and inactivity handling techniques. Here are a few ideas: • User Away Timeout: You can set the

user_away_timeout

parameter in the

AgentSession

to spot when a user’s been inactive for a bit and mark them as "away." • Voice Activity Detection (VAD): VAD is great for keeping an eye on silence periods, which can be useful for ending calls or detecting voicemail. • Endpointing Configuration: Tweaking endpointing delays can help manage silence better, like setting minimum and maximum wait times after someone stops talking. These tips can make your interactions flow more smoothly and avoid those long, uncomfortable pauses. If you want a hand setting any of this up, just let me know—I’m here to help!
