Is there a way to add a delay before Vapi starts speaking at the beginning of a call? Right now, it starts talking immediately, and the first part of the audio gets cut off or isn’t audible.

Yes, you can add a delay before Vapi starts speaking by setting the waitSeconds parameter in the startSpeakingPlan, which delays speech at the start of the call

Thank you for the response So I've already tried the waitSeconds feature, but it only seems to delay the agent's response after a client says something. It doesn't actually add a delay to the very first message at the start of the call — the initial conversation by the AI still starts immediately.
