Abstract
Described are systems and methods that guide an LLM in determining when to initiate a request to a user for clarification and when to cause execution of a determined directive based on an utterance. At each pass through the LLM it may be determined whether the probability score and/or confidence score of a determined token exceeds respective thresholds. Based on those determinations, the system may decide whether to proceed with the determined tokens or to request clarification.
