Filler audio adds natural conversation sounds (like “hmm” or “one moment”) while your AI assistant processes responses. This creates a more human-like interaction by eliminating awkward silences.

​
How It Works

When enabled, your AI assistant will:

  • Use short audio fillers during processing time
  • Maintain engagement while formulating responses
  • Signal active listening to the caller

​
