Sometimes you want the agent to stay silent — for example, when the caller says “hold on” or “give me a minute”.

How It Works

UponAI has a hard-coded stop sequence in the LLM: NO_RESPONSE_NEEDED. When the LLM outputs this exact sequence, response generation stops immediately and the agent says nothing.

Setup

Add a prompt instruction telling the agent to output the stop sequence on hold requests:
If user says "hold on", reply exactly the following: "NO_RESPONSE_NEEDED"
This feature does not apply to reasoning models (e.g., GPT-5, GPT-5.1), which do not support custom stop sequences. For those models, use prompt engineering instead: When user says "hold on", simply do not respond.
