how to simulate sessions. Where 2 agents talk to each other .Can I do it without SIP?

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


I'm glad you're looking to simulate sessions where two agents can talk to each other without using SIP in LiveKit. Here's a simple way to get that set up:
1. First, you'll want to enable agent-to-agent interaction by updating `RoomInputOptions` when starting the agent. It looks like this:
```room_io = RoomIO(session, room=ctx.room,
    input_options=RoomInputOptions(
        listen_to_agents=True
    ))
```
1. Next, configure `RoomInputOptions` so that speech detection works between agents. You can do this by setting:
```RoomInputOptions.participant_kinds = [rtc.ParticipantKind.PARTICIPANT_KIND_AGENT]
```
1. Finally, just make sure both agents are connected to the same room and have Text-to-Speech (TTS) properly configured. This will help the conversation flow smoothly.
