Whoops! Mistook the "You're about to speak with an AI."-progress bar for processing delay.

Makes sense. The init should be about 10s. But, after that, it should be real time. TBH, this is probably a common confusion. So thanks for calling it out.

I wonder if we should make the UI a more common interface (e.g. "the call is ringing") to avoid this confusion?

It's a normal mp4 video that's looping initially (the "welcome message") and then as soon as you send the bot a message, we connect you to a GPU and the call becomes interactive. Connecting to the GPU takes about 10s.
