Voice

Amigo supports two voice modes. Choose the one that matches your UX and latency needs:

Mode	Transport	Best for	Latency	Notes
Voice Notes (HTTP)	HTTP + NDJSON	Asynchronous push-to-talk, in-app voice replies	Low-to-medium	Upload a short clip; receive streamed TTS back
Real-time Voice (WebSocket)	WebSocket	Natural, full-duplex conversations	Very low	Bidirectional audio with VAD and interruption

See real-time details in Real-time Voice (WebSocket) (conversations-realtime.md).

Voice Mode Comparison

Voice Notes (HTTP)

Treat each /interact call as an asynchronous voice-note exchange, not a full-duplex call.

Request Essentials

1. Encode microphone audio as WAV (PCM) or FLAC.

2. POST as recorded_message with request_format=voice.

3. Set response_format=voice and choose Accept:

   • audio/mpeg (MP3): efficient for mobile playback

   • audio/wav (PCM): simple decoding, good for short clips

4. Read the NDJSON stream; new-message events contain base64 audio chunks.

TypeScript SDK note: Voice via HTTP is not yet supported in the TS SDK; use direct API calls.

/v1/{organization}/conversation/{conversation_id}/interact

Send a new user message to the conversation. The endpoint will perform analysis and generate an agent message in response.

A UserMessageAvailableEvent will be the first event in the response, which includes the user message if it's sent as text, or the transcribed message if it's sent as voice. A series of CurrentAgentActionEvents will follow, which indicates steps in the agent's thinking process. Then the agent message is generated sequentially in pieces, with each piece being sent as a NewMessageEvent in the response. After all the pieces are sent, an InteractionCompleteEvent is sent. The response might end here, or, if the conversation automatically ends (for instance, because the user message indicates the user wants to end the session), an EndSessionEvent would be emitted, while the conversation is marked as finished and the post-conversation analysis asynchronously initiated. The connection will then terminate.

Any further action on the conversation is only allowed after the connection is terminated.

A 200 status code doesn't indicate the successful completion of this endpoint, because the status code is transmitted before the stream starts. At any point during the stream, an ErrorEvent might be sent, which indicates that an error has occurred. The connection will be immediately closed after.

This endpoint can only be called on a conversation that has started but not finished.

Permissions

This endpoint requires the following permissions:

• User:UpdateUserInfo on the user who started the conversation.
• Conversation:InteractWithConversation on the conversation.

This endpoint may be impacted by the following permissions:

• CurrentAgentActionEvents are only emitted if the authenticated user has the Conversation:GetInteractionInsights permission.

Authorizations

Bearer-Authorization & Bearer-Authorization-Organization

AuthorizationstringRequired

Amigo issued JWT token that identifies an user. It's issued either after logging in through the frontend, or manually through the SignInWithAPIKey endpoint.

X-ORG-IDstringRequired

An optional organization identifier that indicates from which organization the token is issued. This is used in rare cases where the user to authenticate is making a request for resources in another organization.

Path parameters

conversation_idstringRequired

The identifier of the conversation to send a message to.

Pattern: ^[a-f0-9]{24}$

organizationstringRequired

Query parameters

request_formatstring · enumRequired

The format in which the user message is delivered to the server.

Possible values:

response_formatstring · enumRequired

The format of the response that will be sent to the user.

Possible values:

current_agent_action_typestringOptional

A regex for filtering the type of the current agent action to return. By default, all are returned. If you don't want to receive any events, set this to a regex that matches nothing, for instance ^$.

Default: ^.*$

request_audio_configany ofOptional

Configuration for the user message audio. This is only required if request_format is set to voice.

Responses

200

Succeeded. The response will be a stream of events in JSON format separated by newlines. The server will transmit an event as soon as one is available, so the client should respond to the events as soon as one arrives, and keep listening until the server closes the connection.

Minimal Client Handling (browser-friendly)

if (evt.type === "new-message" && typeof evt.message === "string" && evt.message) {
  const bytes = Uint8Array.from(atob(evt.message), (c) => c.charCodeAt(0));
  playAudio(bytes.buffer); // your audio player implementation
}

Tips

• Keep uploads short (a few seconds) for responsive turn-taking.

• Accumulate audio chunks from new-message to a single buffer for smooth playback.

• Use interaction-complete as the boundary between turns.

Managing Perceived Latency

During voice interactions, the agent automatically manages perceived latency using audio fillers when operations take longer than expected.

How Audio Fillers Work

When an agent operation (decision-making, tool execution, or analysis) exceeds its configured timeout threshold, the system automatically:

1. Detects the delay threshold has been exceeded (typically 2-10 seconds)

2. Selects a contextual audio filler phrase from the configured options

3. Streams the pre-generated audio to maintain conversation flow

4. Continues processing while the filler plays

Example Flow

Common Filler Scenarios

Scenario	Example Fillers
Designated Tool (end-to-end)	"I'm looking that up for you...", "Searching now..."
Decision-Making	"Let me think about that...", "Just a moment..."
Reflection	"Let me consider this carefully...", "Analyzing that information..."
Helper Tools	"Checking that...", "One moment...", "Let me verify..."

Benefits

• Reduces perceived wait time by providing active feedback

• Maintains conversation naturalness instead of awkward silence

• Improves user experience with contextual acknowledgments

• Automatic and transparent - no client-side changes needed

Handling in Code

Audio fillers arrive as current-agent-action events with type action-too-long:

if (evt.type === "current-agent-action" && evt.action.type === "action-too-long") {
  // Audio filler contains base64 PCM audio (or text fallback)
  const audioFiller = evt.action.filler;
  playAudio(base64ToBytes(audioFiller));
}

Configuration Audio fillers are configured in your service's Context Graph (API field: service_hierarchical_state_machine). Each Context Graph state type and tool can have custom filler phrases and timeout thresholds. See Conversations: Events for detailed configuration options.

Real-time Voice (WebSocket)

For low-latency, natural conversation with VAD and barge-in, use Real-time Voice (WebSocket). It supports continuous upstream audio, interruption handling, and streaming TTS.
