Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligently detecting and handling interruptions in voice-based AI conversations by analyzing audio input in real-time are disclosed. Audio input is received during an artificial intelligence (AI) voice interaction between a user and an AI assistant. The audio input is analyzed in real-time to determine whether the audio input represents an intended interruption of the AI assistant's speech. In response to determining the audio input represents an intended interruption, the AI assistant's speech is stopped and what portion of a response was actually spoken is tracked. Context awareness is maintained by storing information about the interrupted response to allow resuming from the point of interruption.
