# 1. Swap the LLM system prompt mid-conversation (e.g. escalate to a different persona)
agent.send_update_prompt(
    AgentV1UpdatePrompt(prompt="You are now in expert escalation mode. Be precise and concise.")
)
# Server replies with a `PromptUpdated` event when the new prompt is in effect.

# 2. Swap the TTS voice without reconnecting (e.g. switch language or persona)

        speak=SpeakSettingsV1(
            provider=SpeakSettingsV1Provider_Deepgram(

# Or simply: agent.send_keep_alive()  — the message arg is optional.

# 7. End an active user turn immediately (for example, on push-to-talk release).
# Requires a Deepgram V2/Flux listen provider; V1 returns FORCE_END_TURN_UNSUPPORTED.
