Thanks — I understand you’re asking how to stop an AgentSession from getting stuck in "speaking" mode when a user rapidly repeats short utterances like “Hello?”. What to try (quick, actionable fixes) • Increase

min_endpointing_delay

(e.g., 0.7–1.0s) so short pauses don’t prematurely end turns. • Raise

min_interruption_duration

(e.g., 0.6s) to ignore very brief interruptions. • Set

min_interruption_words

to 2 (or >1) so single-word interjections are ignored. • Enable a semantic turn-detection model (instead of only VAD) so the session uses language cues to decide end-of-turn. • Disable automatic resume for false interruptions or set a

false_interruption_timeout

(e.g., 2.0s) so the agent won’t immediately re-enter speaking mode on spurious inputs. Example snippet

session = AgentSession(
  min_endpointing_delay=1.0,
  min_interruption_duration=0.6,
  min_interruption_words=2,
  resume_false_interruption=False,
  false_interruption_timeout=2.0,
  # optionally: turn_detection=MultilingualModel(), vad=...
)

Quick diagnostics I can help with • Do you have STT enabled? If not,

min_interruption_words

won’t help. • Can you share current values for these session settings or a short trace of one stuck interaction? Tell me which diagnostics you can run or share current settings and I’ll suggest tuned values for your traffic pattern.
