_await_ self.session.say("Hello. How can I help you today?", _allow_interruptions_=False) is this correct?

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


You're on the right track with the syntax `await self.session.say("Hello. How can I help you today?", allow_interruptions=False)`. The `session.say()` method is designed for the agent to speak a set message, and by setting `allow_interruptions=False`, it makes sure the agent finishes speaking without being interrupted if the user starts talking.
