Currently, the chatbot responds immediately to each individual message, which can cause disruptions when users are answering multiple questions. If a user accidentally presses Enter before completing all their responses, the chatbot processes the partial message and replies before the user has finished. This leads to fragmented conversations and out-of-order responses.
Requested Feature:
• Introduce a brief response delay (e.g., 5–10 seconds) to allow users to send multiple messages in quick succession before the chatbot processes them.
• If multiple messages arrive within this delay window, group them as a single user response for better conversational flow.
• Maintain real-time responsiveness but provide users with a buffer to complete their thoughts before the chatbot interprets and replies.
Use Case Example:
• The chatbot asks multiple clarifying questions in a single response.
• The user starts answering but accidentally presses Enter too early.
• Instead of immediately responding, the chatbot waits for a brief moment to see if another message follows.
• If multiple messages come within the delay window, the chatbot treats them as a single response before processing.
This approach improves conversation flow and prevents interruptions due to premature responses. It would be particularly useful for users who expect a more natural, fluid chat experience.
