03/02/2026, 7:33 AMuser_input_transcribed event on the AgentSession.
• Only count events where the transcription is final (i.e., the user finished their turn).
• Increment and persist a counter (in memory, DB, or analytics) each time a final transcription appears.
• Optionally record the transcript text, timestamp, and any metadata (e.g., session id, user id, question type).
Example (Python)
# Example handler sketch
user_question_count = 0
@session.on("user_input_transcribed")
def on_user_input_transcribed(event):
global user_question_count
if event.is_final:
user_question_count += 1
# persist or log as needed
<http://logger.info|logger.info>(f"User question #{user_question_count}: {event.transcript}")
# e.g., save to DB or analytics service
Implementation notes and options
• Ensure transcription is enabled for your RealtimeModel (transcription is enabled by default).
• Define what counts as a “question”: you can simply count every final turn, or apply heuristics (e.g., check if transcript ends with a question mark, run a quick intent classifier, or check for question words).
• Persistence: for short sessions you can keep the counter in memory. For long-term tracking or cross-session metrics, write each increment or completed-turn record to a database or analytics pipeline.
• Additional metadata: consider storing session id, user id, timestamp, and the transcript text for later analysis (e.g., to detect follow-up questions).
Follow-up questions to make this concrete
• Do you want to count every final user turn, or only turns that are questions (e.g., ends with a question mark or classified as a question)?
• Where would you like to store these counts (in-memory, your database, or an analytics service)?
• Which SDK/language are you using in your agent (so I can provide a more tailored code snippet)?
If you tell me which of the above you prefer, I’ll provide a short, specific code example and a recommended persistence pattern.

03/02/2026, 7:37 AMuser_input_transcribed event and only react to final transcripts.
• When a final transcript arrives, generate the agent reply and wait for the reply to finish playing.
• Increment the interaction counter only after the agent reply completes.
Minimal Python example
import asyncio
from livekit.agents import AgentSession
# Create your session (example placeholders for STT/LLM/TTS/VAD)
session = AgentSession(
# supply your configured stt/llm/tts/vad plugins here
)
interaction_count = 0 # counts user question -> agent reply interactions
async def handle_user_transcript(event):
global interaction_count
# Only count when transcript is final (user finished speaking)
if not event.is_final:
return
user_text = event.transcript
# Ask the agent to generate a reply and get a handle that resolves when playback completes
# Depending on your SDK, this may be session.generate_reply or session.reply; adapt accordingly
handle = await session.generate_reply(user_input=user_text)
# Wait for the agent's reply (speech/playback) to finish
await handle
# Now count this as one completed interaction
interaction_count += 1
print(f"Completed interactions: {interaction_count}")
# Register the event listener
@session.on("user_input_transcribed")
def on_user_input_transcribed(event):
# Run async handler without blocking the event loop
asyncio.create_task(handle_user_transcript(event))
Implementation notes and suggestions
• Ensure transcription is enabled so user_input_transcribed fires (transcription is enabled by default).
• Decide what “question” means for you:
◦ Simple: count every final user turn like the snippet above.
◦ Strict: run a lightweight rule (ends with “?” or contains question words) or a small intent classifier and only call generate_reply/count when it’s a question.
• Persistence:
◦ For short sessions, in-memory interaction_count may be fine.
◦ For long-term analytics or cross-session totals, write each increment (or the full event record: transcript, timestamp, session_id, user_id) to a database or analytics service inside the handler.
• Concurrency:
◦ Using asyncio.create_task avoids blocking the event loop so multiple user turns or other events remain responsive.
• Edge cases:
◦ If your agent can interrupt or produce multiple reply segments, ensure your chosen API handle resolves only after the whole reply is complete.
◦ If a user asks multiple short questions in one turn, decide whether that counts as 1 or multiple — you’d need extra NLP logic to split/count questions inside the transcript.
If you’d like, I can:
• Provide a version that only counts transcripts recognized as questions (with a short heuristic).
• Show how to persist counts to a specific database (Postgres, Redis, etc.) — tell me which you use.
• Adapt the example to match the exact LiveKit Python SDK method names you’re using if you share those. Sources: Interrupt User | LiveKit Documentation
