Hi all. I've been trying to build a Brain Storming Assistant with vapi that will passively listen to me ramble without interruption until I ask it to become an active participant in the conversation. I cant get vapi to stay silent for longer than a minute or so. Ive tried multiple prompts including asking it to store a "state", played with silence timeout, response delays, etc... I still cant get it to sit quietly for long. Appreciate any advice.

@midnightcaller Hello! It sounds like you're looking for a way to configure VAPI to maintain a passive listening mode for an extended period without interrupting your brainstorming sessions. To achieve this, you might need to adjust the silence detection settings and the machine learning models to better understand when to remain silent and when to engage actively. Here are a few suggestions you can try: 1. Increase Silence Timeout: Adjust the silence timeout setting to a higher value to allow for longer pauses in speech without triggering a response. 2. Custom Endpointing Model: If you have access to customizing the machine learning models, you might consider training a model specifically for your use case that can differentiate between a brainstorming monologue and a direct prompt for engagement. 3. State Management: Implement a state management system within your application that can switch between 'active' and 'passive' states based on specific triggers or commands. 4. Adjust Response Delays: Fine-tune the response delay settings to ensure that VAPI waits for an appropriate amount of time before responding, even after detecting speech has ended. If you've already tried these and are still facing issues, it might be helpful to look into the specific configurations you're using and see if there are any additional parameters that can be tweaked. If you provide more details on the settings you've experimented with, I can offer more targeted advice. Remember, VAPI is designed to be flexible, so with the right adjustments, you should be able to achieve the desired behavior for your Brain Storming Assistant. If you're still having trouble after trying these suggestions, please ask support for more info on this.
