Hey, can we intercept the generated text from the agent that it is about to speak before it is sent to tts?

Thanks for reaching out, Kushank. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — regarding intercepting an agent’s generated text before it goes to TTS: yes, you can. To do that, override the agent’s
llm_node
and stream the LLM output yourself. Inside your custom
llm_node
you can inspect, modify, filter, log, or replace text chunks as they arrive, then yield those (possibly modified) chunks so they continue to the TTS stage. Minimal example:
Copy code
async def llm_node(self, chat_ctx, tools, model_settings=None):
    async def process_stream():
        async with self.llm.chat(chat_ctx=chat_ctx, tools=tools, tool_choice=None) as stream:
            async for chunk in stream:
                if chunk is None:
                    continue

                content = getattr(chunk.delta, 'content', None) if hasattr(chunk, 'delta') else str(chunk)
                if content is None:
                    yield chunk
                    continue

                # Intercept/modify text here
                processed = content.replace("undesirable text", "")

                # If chunk object holds content, update it; otherwise replace chunk
                if hasattr(chunk, 'delta') and hasattr(chunk.delta, 'content'):
                    chunk.delta.content = processed
                else:
                    chunk = processed

                yield chunk
    return process_stream()
If you want, tell me: • Which agent framework/version you’re using, • Whether you need synchronous blocking or streaming behavior, • Any specific modifications (filtering, censorship, markup, logging), and I’ll provide a tailored snippet or integration notes.
