Manually Set Assistant Response Latency for more user "Thinking Space" between utterances
R
Roman Kupkovic
As different users have different requirements for how much thinking time they might need between utterances and sentences, we should be able to set this value with the config.
The documentation taught me to use pause and resume assistant, but using this to increase latency when the user is talking (and preventing premature responses from the assistant) causes many hard-to-handle side effects with the SDKs and the Hume API's behavior.
It seems like this should be a native feature and not something each developer needs to develop on their own, because they need to assume and find out the exact behavior of SDK and API to make this aligned and synchronized.
