ai_volumeOptionalinteger0 (the natural volume of the AI)Adjust the volume of the AI. Allowed values from -50-50.
attention_timeoutOptionalinteger10000 ms (10 seconds)Amount of time, in ms, to wait before prompting the user to respond. Allowed values from 10,000-600,000. Set to 0 to disable.
attention_timeout_promptOptionalstringThe user has not responded, try to get their attention. Stay in the same language.A custom prompt that is fed into the AI when the attention_timeout is reached.
background_fileOptionalstring600000 ms (10 minutes)URL of audio file to play in the background while AI plays in foreground.
background_file_loopsOptionalintegerundefined (loops indefinitely)Maximum number of times to loop playing the background file.
background_file_volumeOptionalstring-Defines background_file volume within a range of -50 to +50.
barge_match_stringOptionalstring-Takes a string, including a regular expression, defining barge behavior. For example, this param can direct the AI to stop when the word "hippopotomus" is input.
barge_min_wordsOptionalstring-Defines the number of words that must be input before triggering barge behavior, in a range of 1-99.
conscienceOptionalstring"Remember to stay in character. You must not do anything outside the scope of your provided role."Sets the prompt which binds the agent to its purpose.
conversation_idOptionalstring-Used by check_for_input and save_conversation to identify an individual conversation.
debug_webhook_levelOptionalinteger-Enables debugging to the set URL.
debug_webhook_urlOptionalstring-Each interaction between the AI and end user is posted in real time to the established URL. Authentication can also be set in the url in the format of username:password@url.
directionOptionalstringthe natural direction of the callForces the direction of the call to the assistant. Valid values are inbound and outbound.

eleven_labs_stabilityOptionalnumber-The stability slider determines how stable the voice is and the randomness between each generation. Lowering this slider introduces a broader emotional range for the voice.

Important: This will only works when elevenlabs is set in the ai.languages.voice as the engine id.
eleven_labs_similarityOptionalnumber-The similarity slider dictates how closely the AI should adhere to the original voice when attempting to replicate it. The higher the similarity, the closer the AI will sound to the original voice.

Important: This will only works when elevenlabs is set in the ai.languages.voice as the engine id.
end_of_speech_timeoutOptionalinteger2000 ms (2 seconds)Amount of silence, in ms, at the end of an utterance to detect end of speech. Allowed values from 250-10,000.

swaig_allow_settingsOptionalboolean-Allows tweaking any of the indicated settings, such as barge_match_string, using the returned SWML from the SWAIG function.
swaig_allow_swmlOptionalboolean-Allows your SWAIG to return SWML to be executed.
