To send a custom text message like "please repeat" when the

user_away_timeout

is triggered, you can gently listen for the

user_state_changed

event to spot when the user's state changes to "away". Here's a simple way to set it up: 1. First, set

user_away_timeout

in

AgentSession

to decide how long of inactivity should trigger the message. 2. Next, keep an eye on the

user_state_changed

event and check if the

new_state

becomes "away". 3. Then, you can send a friendly custom message using

session.generate_reply()

to create a TTS response, like "Please repeat what you said." If you'd prefer to send just a text message instead of TTS, you can use the LiveKit client SDKs on the frontend to send text through text streams. Here's a quick example in JavaScript:

const info = await room.localParticipant.sendText("Please repeat your last statement.", {
  topic: "agent.prompts"
});
