• Audio Output Pausing: If you want to manage interruptions while the agent is speaking, the resume_false_interruption configuration is really helpful. It pauses the agent’s audio output during false interruptions and then resumes playback after a short timeout.
• Scheduling Pausing: For more advanced control, the AgentActivity.pause() method pauses the scheduling of new tasks but lets current ones finish. This is often used internally, especially during agent handoffs.
For most situations, I’d recommend using setAudioEnabled(False) to pause listening during non-verbal moments. If you’d like, I’m happy to walk you through the implementation or answer any other questions you might have!
