It's very good, really impressive demo. My feedback would be, Maya needs to keep quiet a little longer after asking a question. She would ask something, then as I thought about my reply, already be on to the next thing. It left me with the impression she was a babbler (which is not an unrealistic model of how humans are, but it would be cool to be able to dial such traits up or down to taste).

I suppose the lack of visual cues probably hinders things in that regard.

I think part of the issue is for the latency to be as low as this they have to tune their speech to text to find endpoints in very small increments and then send the text to the model immediately.

So unless the system has a lot of engineering and/or training put into the main model being able to recognize exactly when it should keep waiting versus a real response, it will just see something like "user: empty response" or "user: uhmm" and assume it is supposed to respond to that.
