set_internal_fillers

Set filler phrases for native SWAIG functions. Internal fillers are phrases the AI speaks while executing built-in functions like check_time, next_step, or wait_for_user. They prevent silence during processing and make the conversation feel more natural.

Parameters

internal_fillers

dict[str, dict[str, list[str]]]Required

Nested dictionary mapping function names to language-specific filler phrases. Format: {"function_name": {"language_code": ["phrase1", "phrase2"]}}.

Returns

AgentBase — Returns self for method chaining.

Example

from signalwire import AgentBase
agent = AgentBase(name="support", route="/support")
agent.set_prompt_text("You are a helpful assistant.")
agent.set_internal_fillers({
    "next_step": {
        "en-US": ["Moving on...", "Great, let's continue..."],
        "es": ["Pasando al siguiente paso...", "Continuemos..."]
    },
    "check_time": {
        "en-US": ["Let me check the time...", "One moment..."]
    }
})
agent.serve()
