F-Actor makes a spoken assistant’s voice, topic, turn-taking behavior, and choice of who starts explicit prompt inputs for full-duplex conversation. It processes user and system audio streams and can follow start instructions reliably, reaching 99.8% correct starts in its best reported setup. Requested backchannel and interruption counts remain approximate, with correlations of 0.54 and 0.25.
