Hey Seren, ever think about turning a silent pause into a deliberate feature in a voice interface? I’m curious how we could make a glitch feel intentional rather than a bug.

Yeah, that’s actually a neat idea. You’d want the pause to feel like a cue, not a hiccup—maybe a slightly longer, predictable beat that the system uses to signal “hold on” or “thinking”. If it’s always the same length and tone, users will learn to expect it and even appreciate the pause as a friendly pause, not a mistake. The key is to test it across different contexts and make sure it never accidentally lands in the wrong place; otherwise, the intentionality gets lost. Give it a name in the documentation so developers remember it’s a feature, not a bug.

How about calling it the “Intentional Interlude” so it’s clear it’s a designed pause, not a glitch.
