Conversational Dashboard

The Conversational Dashboard is your central hub for interacting with the Agents you’ve installed. Here, you can engage in real-time conversations with your AI agents, testing their behavior and functionality. Whether you’re issuing commands, asking questions, reviewing conversational history or testing specific Capabilities, this screen lets you explore how your Agents respond and adapt. Here you can also test the functionality of different Capabilities integrated into your Agents, ensuring they work seamlessly and as expected. This is where you can refine and optimize the conversational experience for your specific use cases.

​

Start a Conversation

To begin interacting with an Agent, click the in the center. This will initiate a new conversation with the selected Agent, allowing you to test responses, behaviors, and capabilities.

​

Voice Response Indicator

At the top of the dashboard, there is a waveform indicator that lets you know your selected Agent is responding. The pulsing light reflects the voice output, visually confirming that the system is speaking back to you. If you don’t hear anything:

• Check your device’s and/or browser volume settings to ensure it’s not muted.
• Verify that Auto Responses are enabled in the settings, ensuring that the Agent is set to respond aloud (see Audio & Microphone Control settings below).

​

Audio & Microphone Controls

• Toggles audio on or off. Use this if you don’t want to hear spoken responses.
• Mutes or unmutes your microphone, depending on your interaction preference.

​

Manual Interrupt

enables interruption during a conversation, useful for situations where you want to stop an Agent mid-response. Adjust the Interrupt Sensitivity slider to control how easily the system accepts interruptions, giving you more flexibility during conversations.

​

Agent Settings

The Agent Settings panel is located on the right side of the conversation window. This panel allows you to modify and update agent-related settings dynamically during a conversation. The settings include Conversation Controls, Behavior Controls, and Identity Controls.

​

Conversation Settings

Control key aspects of the agent’s interaction during a conversation.

• Auto Interrupt: Toggle this setting ON/OFF to allow or prevent the agent from automatically interrupting the conversation when required.
• Alerts: Enable or disable alert notifications for the agent’s activities.
• Interrupt Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity level of conversation interruptions using the slider bar. The sensitivity level determines how quickly interruptions occur based on conversational cues.

​

Behavior Controls

Define the behavior and purpose of the agent by configuring its prompts and starting messages.

• Starting Message: Customize the greeting or initial message that the agent uses to begin conversations.
• Description Prompt: Provide a detailed description of the agent’s traits and behavior.
• Purpose Prompt: Specify the purpose or role of the agent in the interaction.

​

Identity Controls

Modify the voice and language of the agent for a more customized interaction.

• Agent Voice: Select a voice for the agent from the dropdown menu.
• Agent Language: Choose the language the agent uses for conversations.

​

Dynamic Agent Updates

These settings allow users to dynamically update the agent during a live conversation. Any changes made in the Behavior Controls or Identity Controls are reflected immediately, ensuring seamless adaptability during interactions.

​

OpenHome API Key

You can find your API key under Profile > Settings > API Keys.. This key is crucial for authenticating with the OpenHome platform and linking your activities with the system.

​

Conversation Modes: Voice & Text

• The dashboard supports both voice and text-based conversations.
• You can engage in voice-based conversations by starting a conversation, unmuting your device’s microphone, and speaking your commands directly into it.
• You can use the text input box on the lower right to type out your messages, making it easier to test Agent responses in text form.
• Type a text command and send it to your Agent in the text box at the bottom right of the page.

​

Agent Selection

• Choose from your list of Agents to engage in a conversation. Each selected Agent will be ready for interaction within the dashboard.
• Conversation Settings: Adjust settings such as Auto Interrupt and other Agent-specific toggles to fine-tune how the AI responds during conversations.

​

Conversation History

• Your conversation history is available on the center. This allows you to review previous interactions and see how an Agent has responded in past conversations, providing context for ongoing interactions.
• Use the Trash can icon on the top right to delete your conversational history

​

​

Model Configuration Settings

In this settings section, you can customize the providers powering your Agents and fine-tune their interactions. By adjusting these settings, you can optimize speech processing, response generation, and voice output to meet your specific needs. This gives you control over each component’s functionality, allowing you to tailor the interaction experience to your preferences.

​

Settings Overview

• STT Model (Speech-to-Text Model): Select the model that will convert speech input into text.
• STT Platform: Choose the platform that provides the Speech-to-Text service (e.g., Assembly).
• TTT Model (Text-to-Text Model): This is the large language model that will process the transcribed text and generate a response (e.g., GPT-4).
• TTT Platform: Choose the provider for the Text-to-Text processing (e.g., OpenAI).
• TTS Model (Text-to-Speech Model): Select the model that converts text responses back into speech. The selected voice model will dictate how the Agent sounds (e.g., “eleven_turbo_v2”, “eleven_monolingual_v1”).
• TTS Platform: Choose the platform providing the Text-to-Speech service (e.g., ElevenLabs).
• Play Filler Audios: Toggle this setting to play short filler sounds while the system processes speech, indicating it’s working on generating a response.
• Auto Sleep: Enable or disable automatic sleep mode, which will turn off the Agent after a period of inactivity.
• FuzzyWuzzy Threshold: Adjust the sensitivity of the text-matching algorithm. A higher threshold makes the system stricter when matching text input, while a lower threshold makes it more flexible.
• Auto Sleep Timeout One: Set the time (in seconds) before the Agent will confirm inactivity.
• Auto Sleep Timeout Two: Set the time (in seconds) for the second stage of sleep, where the Agent will fully shut down if inactive.
• OpenAI TTT Temperature: Controls the randomness of responses from the LLM. A lower temperature (closer to 0) will make responses more focused and deterministic, while a higher temperature (up to 1) makes responses more creative and varied (Wild Card).
• OpenAI TTT Frequency Penalty: Adjusts how often words or phrases can repeat in responses. A higher value will reduce repetition.
• OpenAI TTT Presence Penalty: Similar to the frequency penalty, but it discourages the model from introducing new, irrelevant topics. A higher value encourages the LLM to stick to the subject at hand.
• Voice Similarity Boost: Adjusts how closely the chosen voice matches its intended sound. A higher boost makes the voice more consistent.
• Voice Stability: Controls the stability of the voice output. A lower value makes the voice more varied, while a higher value increases consistency (makes the voice more monotone).

​

API Key Settings

OpenHome uses various providers to communicate with TTT (Text-to-Text), LLM (Large Language Models), TTS (Text-to-Speech), and STT (Speech-to-Text) vendors. You can set your provider keys to customize the services that power your Agents. These keys will be used to access the models that power all of your OpenHome Agents globally.

• Select the button to edit your desired API key field.
