Tell the assistant on the live call
answer_questionSend a message into a live call; the assistant says it within a couple of seconds. Use it to answer pending_question (pass its question_id; the business is waiting, about 45 seconds), or anytime to change course: "Make it 6 people instead of 4", "Also ask if they price-match", "Don't book, just get the price", "Wrap up and hang up". An answer from what's already known is fastest; the user is the fallback. A late answer is still passed along.
