Set how attentively your AI listens for interruptions from the human speaker. This controls whether the agent yields mid-sentence or holds its turn before stopping.

• Higher values (closer to 1) make the AI more interruptible—great for dynamic, user-led conversations.

• Lower values (closer to 0) let the AI finish its thought, helpful in structured or directive use cases.

*Minimum: 0 (Rarely interrupted)*

*Maximum: 1 (Highly interruptible)*

*Recommended: 0.5–0.8 for balanced flow›*

Fine-tuning this gives users more conversational control—without making the AI feel passive.
