# Callers can ask your Voice AI Agent to speed up or slow down

Your Voice AI Agent can now change how fast it speaks when a caller asks it to.

## What's new

A caller who finds the AI Agent too fast or too slow can say so, and the AI Agent adjusts its delivery and continues the conversation.

* **Triggered by the caller.** Phrases like "you're talking too fast" or "could you speak a bit faster?" move the pace one setting along **Slowest**, **Slow**, **Normal**, and **Fast**. Callers can ask again to keep moving in the same direction.
* **Applies to that call only.** The **Pace** selected for each language is unchanged, and the next call starts from it again.
* **Changes delivery only.** The AI Agent says the same thing and stays on the same step of its Playbook.
