Instant reactions — LED, interrupts, status without AI delay

Some actions no longer wait for the AI to think. LED changes, speech interrupts, and status queries now respond in under 50ms.

Instant reactions — LED, interrupts, status without AI delay

Some Things Should Just Happen Instantly

When you tap the robot's head sensor, you don't want to wait 3 seconds for the AI to "think" before the LED changes color. Some actions are so simple and predictable that routing them through the full AI reasoning loop is wasteful.

What's New

  • LED effects fire instantly — Breathing, pulse, rainbow, and solid colors respond in <50ms to sensor triggers
  • Speech interrupt is immediate — Saying "stop" or touching a sensor cuts off TTS playback without waiting for AI processing
  • Status queries bypass the queue — Battery level, connection status, and other simple lookups return immediately

How It Works

System Hooks are pre-defined trigger→action rules that execute at the hardware layer, completely bypassing the LLM reasoning loop. The AI still handles complex decisions, but simple reflexes happen at machine speed.

Supported Hooks (G1)

  • Head sensor tap → LED color change
  • "Stop" keyword → Interrupt current speech
  • Battery low → LED warning pattern
  • Motion start/stop → LED breathing/solid

More hooks can be configured per-robot from the dashboard.
