In the LiveKit Python example

triage.py

, only one agent speaks at a time because the system is thoughtfully designed to have a single active agent per session. When you run

python triage.py console

, the Triage Agent starts as the sole active speaker. Other agents, like the Support Agent or Billing Agent, will step in only when they’re explicitly called upon through a transfer function based on the user’s request. To have other agents speak, you’ll want to trigger a transfer under specific conditions. For instance, the Triage Agent can hand things over to the Support Agent for medical service requests or to the Billing Agent for financial inquiries. These transfers happen through the

_transfer_to_agent

method in the

BaseAgent

class, which smoothly switches the active agent while keeping the context intact. If you’d like, I’m here to help walk you through setting up these transfers or answer any questions you might have! Sources: complex-agents/personal_shopper/README.md
