# Forcing AI To Ask If Anyone Is There After Silence? (Start of call)
AI assistant is set to wait for the other person to start speaking first in the settings.
I haven't figured out how to get the ai voice assistant to speak after like 3 seconds if it hears silence at the start of a call.
Any ideas? I tried prompting it, but it didn't work, I tried like 5 ways. I deleted them and forgot them so if anyone has suggestions I'm open to trying new prompts, and any other possible means
