That's fair. My attention wanted and I lost the plot.

However, I don't think having an agent on one side necessarily changes anything. Network problems are not predictable, particularly on mobile, so the human is still very likely to experience a poor auditory experience on a tcp connection.

The difference is that the agent doesn’t run in realtime. If 20 packets are lost and resent, the agent can still process them almost instantly and reply, in contrast to a human. Only the direction from the agent to the human needs to be realtime.
