AI Voice Assistants: Filter Partial Speech for Better Context
Discarding incomplete voice recognition results and interrupted responses prevents AI companions from hallucinating conversation history.
●Builder Action:Developers must implement state management to filter provisional voice recognition results and incomplete AI responses. Treat conversation history as committed application state, not a raw log. This requires careful handling of asynchronous operations and confidence scores to ensure only finalized user utterances and AI responses contribute to the LLM prompt.
