# Turn taking and latency settings Everything is branch-scoped over the ConvAI REST API (host `https://api.elevenlabs.io`, header `xi-api-key: $API_KEY`). You need `$AGENT_ID` and `$BRANCH_ID`. ## 1. Read the current turn settings Read the agent's `conversation_config.turn` (and the workflow nodes if the question is workflow-specific) with `GET /v1/convai/agents/$AGENT_ID?branch_id=$BRANCH_ID`. Do not pull the full agent context for procedures and unrelated config; the turn block is what matters here. ## 2. Explain the relevant levers Based on the user's specific latency or turn-taking question: - Speculative turn (`speculative_turn`): when enabled, the agent starts preparing the LLM response during silence before full turn confidence is reached, reducing perceived latency. - Turn eagerness (`turn_eagerness`): controls how quickly the agent jumps in (low, standard, high / eager). - Turn timeout (`turn_timeout`): maximum wait time before the agent re-engages. ## 3. Apply the change Use a single-field partial-merge patch with the exact dotted path so you touch only the setting in question: - `PATCH /v1/convai/agents/$AGENT_ID?branch_id=$BRANCH_ID` with `{"conversation_config":{"turn":{"speculative_turn":true}}}`, or the same shape for `turn_eagerness` / `turn_timeout`. This commits to branch HEAD and returns a new version. Confirm the change to the user, and note it is on the branch until merged.
