You're asking to call

generate_reply()

automatically after every user turn completes. I can help—below are concise options and a quick checklist. Which platform are you using (Python or Node.js)? If you're using Python 1. Override the lifecycle hook

on_user_turn_completed

. 2. Call

await self.session.generate_reply()

inside that method. Example:

from livekit.agents import Agent, ChatContext

class MyAgent(Agent):
    async def on_user_turn_completed(self, turn_ctx: ChatContext, new_message):
        await self.session.generate_reply()

If you're using Node.js/TypeScript 1. Override

onUserTurnCompleted

. 2. Call

this.session.generateReply()

inside it. Example:

import { voice } from '@livekit/agents';

class MyAgent extends voice.Agent {
  async onUserTurnCompleted(turnCtx, newMessage) {
    this.session.generateReply();
  }
}

Quick checklist and tips • If you need to customize responses, pass

instructions

or context before calling

generate_reply()

/

generateReply()

. • This hook runs when user audio/input ends; use it to guarantee a reply after each user turn. • If you want different behavior for certain turns (silence, short utterances, interruptions), tell me the rules and I’ll show conditional examples. Which language/runtime are you using and do you need examples showing custom instructions or conditional logic?
