Hi there! I understand you're trying to implement word-by-word updates in a chatbox for your Vapi voice assistant integration. Based on what I've found, this might be possible using a few different approaches, but I'd like to understand your implementation better.
Are you currently using the [Vapi Web SDK](
https://github.com/VapiAI/web) or another method to integrate with your website? Also, are you receiving any transcript messages or partial transcripts from the API currently, or is the text only appearing after the AI completes its entire response?
The reason I ask is that there are several potential methods to achieve this:
1. Using transcript messages and conversation-update events
2. Configuring real-time transcription settings
3. Using function calls to trigger frontend actions
4. Utilizing the Add Message API for dynamic updates
Each approach has different implementation details, so knowing more about your current setup would help me provide more specific guidance.
