Hello, is there an emotion detection option in the dashboard or API? I remember seeing one and cannot see it. Or is there a model that is good at emotion detection?

Hi there! 👋 I wasn't able to find definitive information about whether emotion detection is available as a specific option in the Vapi dashboard or API interface. However, I can help with information about Vapi's emotion detection capabilities and available models. According to the [Vapi documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/how-vapi-works), Vapi does have emotion detection functionality: "We've trained a real-time audio model to extract the emotional inflection of the user's statement. This emotional information is then fed into the LLM, so it knows to behave differently if the user is angry, annoyed, or confused." I also found that there is an

emotionRecognitionEnabled

setting that can be configured, as mentioned in a [Discord thread](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342394397211496519). As for models, Vapi offers several that are available for production use, including: -

gemma2-9b-it

-

llama-3.1-70b-versatile

-

llama-3.1-8b-instant

-

llama3-70b-8192

-

llama3-8b-8192

These are mentioned in another [Discord thread](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1334534504324403230), though it doesn't specifically indicate which ones excel at emotion detection. Is there anything else you'd like to know about Vapi's emotion detection capabilities?

im not seeing it in the api reference or dashboard

Hey Nick, the emotion detection feature wasn't useful, so we've removed it. You can no longer see it in the dashboard or the API.
