Barge-In

/ barge-in /

When a caller interrupts the agent mid-speech. Good voice agents detect barge-in, stop talking, and process the interruption naturally.

Why it matters

Real callers interrupt constantly. An agent that talks over them or loses its place feels broken instantly, so barge-in handling deserves dedicated test scenarios.
