Methods

BidiRunSession(IAsyncStreamReader<BidiSessionClientMessage>, IServerStreamWriter<BidiSessionServerMessage>, ServerCallContext)

public virtual Task BidiRunSession(IAsyncStreamReader<BidiSessionClientMessage> requestStream, IServerStreamWriter<BidiSessionServerMessage> responseStream, ServerCallContext context)

Establishes a bidirectional streaming connection with the CES agent. The agent processes continuous multimodal inputs (e.g., text, audio) and generates real-time multimodal output streams.

--- Client Request Stream --- The client streams requests in the following order:

  1. Initialization: The first message must contain [SessionConfig][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionClientMessage.config]. For audio sessions, this should also include [InputAudioConfig][google.cloud.ces.v1.SessionConfig.input_audio_config] and [OutputAudioConfig][google.cloud.ces.v1.SessionConfig.output_audio_config] to define audio processing and synthesis parameters.

  2. Interaction: Subsequent messages stream [SessionInput][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionClientMessage.realtime_input] containing real-time user input data.

  3. Termination: The client should half-close the stream when there is no more user input. It should also half-close upon receiving [EndSession][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionServerMessage.end_session] or [GoAway][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionServerMessage.go_away] from the agent.

--- Server Response Stream --- For each interaction turn, the agent streams messages in the following sequence:

  1. Speech Recognition (First N messages): Contains [RecognitionResult][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionServerMessage.recognition_result] representing the concatenated user speech segments captured so far. This is only populated for audio sessions.

  2. Response (Next M messages): Contains [SessionOutput][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionServerMessage.session_output] delivering the agent's response in various modalities (e.g., text, audio).

  3. Turn Completion (Final message of the turn): Contains [SessionOutput][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionServerMessage.session_output] with [turn_completed][google.cloud.ces.v1.SessionOutput.turn_completed] set to true. This signals the end of the current turn and includes [DiagnosticInfo][google.cloud.ces.v1.SessionOutput.diagnostic_info] with execution details.

--- Audio Best Practices ---

  1. Streaming: Stream [audio data][google.cloud.ces.v1.SessionInput.audio] CONTINUOUSLY, even during silence. Recommended chunk size: 40-120ms (balances latency vs. efficiency).

  2. Playback & Interruption: Play [audio responses][google.cloud.ces.v1.SessionOutput.audio] upon receipt. Stop playback immediately if an [InterruptionSignal][google.cloud.ces.v1.BidiSessionServerMessage.interruption_signal] is received (e.g., user barge-in or new agent response).

Parameters
