Thank you for providing the detailed settings and context for your assistant. Based on the information you've given, it seems that your assistant's settings are generally well-configured. However, the "Silence Timeout" setting is currently at 10 seconds, which might be causing the issue if the assistant is not detecting speech within that timeframe.
Here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
1. **Increase Silence Timeout**: Try increasing the "Silence Timeout" setting to a higher value to see if that prevents the assistant from exiting prematurely.
2. **Check Smart Endpointing**: Since "Smart Endpointing" is enabled, ensure that it is functioning correctly and not mistakenly detecting the end of speech too soon.
3. **Review Network Latency**: Since you're using a transcription provider (Deepgram) and a voice provider (Cartesia), check if there's any network latency that could be causing delays in processing the audio.
4. **Test Without Background Sound**: Although you've set "Background Denoising" to no, try testing the assistant without any background sound to ensure that it's not affecting voice detection.
5. **Adjust Wait Seconds and Voice Seconds**: You might want to experiment with the "Wait seconds" and "Voice seconds" settings to fine-tune how quickly the assistant responds to speech.
6. **Examine Server and Client Messages**: Ensure that the messages being sent between the server and client are correctly formatted and that there are no issues with the message handling logic.
If after trying these steps the issue still persists, it may be beneficial to reach out to the support teams for the specific services you're using (VAPI, Make, Twilio) to see if they can provide more insight into the problem.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can assist you with or if you'd like me to perform any specific actions, please let me know!
