Delayed Responses Tool

The Delayed Responses Tool is a feature designed to enhance the authenticity of AI-human interactions by introducing a delay in the agent’s responses. This tool simulates the time a human might take to read, process, and respond to messages, creating a more realistic conversational experience.

​

Key Features

• Variable Delay: Automatically applies a delay ranging from 8 to 15 seconds before sending the agent’s response, depending on the complexity of the response.
• Consistency: Maintains a natural response time for all interactions.
• Typing Indicator: Displays a “typing” indicator during the delay for chat interfaces.

​

How It Works

1. Message Reception: When the AI receives a user message, it processes the content as usual.
2. Delay: The tool applies a variable delay ranging from 8 to 15 seconds based on the complexity of the response.
3. Typing Simulation: A typing indicator is displayed to the user during the delay.
4. Response Delivery: After the delay, the AI’s response is sent to the user.

​

Benefits

• Enhanced Realism: Creates a more natural, human-like interaction flow.
• Improved User Experience: Prevents the jarring effect of instantaneous AI responses.
• Increased Trust: Users may feel more comfortable interacting with an AI that mimics human response patterns.

​

Configuration

The Delayed Responses Tool is pre-configured with a variable delay ranging from 8 to 15 seconds. No additional configuration is needed to use this tool.

​

Best Practices

• Use the delay to create a more natural and engaging conversation experience.
• Consider the delay when designing conversation flows and response time expectations.
• Monitor user feedback to ensure the variable delay is providing a positive experience.

The Delayed Responses Tool adds a layer of authenticity to your AI interactions, creating a more natural and engaging user experience.
