Can I pause agent to be silent like STT activity should not start until I start it manually but agent should be started?? Is there any way I can keep agent silent for sometime where STT and LLM activity remains inactive?

Thanks for reaching out, Hiren. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
I'm here to help you pause the agent so it stays silent and stops any STT and LLM activity until you're ready to start it again. Here's a simple way to do that: 1. Interrupt the Agent: You can use
session.interrupt()
to gently stop any speech or processing that’s happening. 2. Disable Audio Input: Just call
session.input.set_audio_enabled(False)
to make sure the agent isn’t listening to any audio—this effectively pauses the STT and LLM activity. 3. Perform Your Task: While the agent is paused, feel free to carry out any tasks that don’t involve speaking. 4. Resume the Agent: When you’re ready, simply turn the audio input back on with
session.input.set_audio_enabled(True)
to get the agent up and running again. This way, you have full control, and the agent stays quiet and inactive until you decide to bring it back.
