how to close an agentsession after a period of inactivity? what changes are needed on both agent and flutter client side?

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

I mean AgentSession

To close an

AgentSession

after a period of inactivity, you can gently use the

user_away_timeout

configuration along with the

user_state_changed

event to spot when the user is inactive and then take the right steps. Here’s a friendly guide on how to set this up: Agent Side (Python or Node.js): • Start by setting

user_away_timeout

when you initialize the

AgentSession

to specify how long inactivity should last before action. • Keep an ear out for the

user_state_changed

event to know when the user goes "away." • Then, you can add some thoughtful logic to either gently re-engage the user or close the session after checking a few times. Flutter Client Side: • Good news – no changes are needed here! The agent session is managed on the server side, and the Flutter client just needs to handle room disconnection events smoothly.

how to specify

user_away_timeout

You can easily set the

user_away_timeout

parameter when you initialize the

AgentSession

. This setting controls how long (in seconds or milliseconds, depending on the language) the system waits during inactivity before marking the user as "away." Python Example:

session = AgentSession(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini"),
    stt=deepgram.STT(),
    tts=cartesia.TTS(),
    user_away_timeout=12.5  # Timeout in seconds
)

Node.js Example:

const session = new AgentSession({
  vad: new SileroVAD(),
  stt: new DeepgramSTT(),
  llm: new OpenAILLM(),
  tts: new CartesiaTTS(),
  user_away_timeout: 12500 // Timeout in milliseconds
});
