It happens with any integration-related actions, too. See https://genesyscloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas/SSA-I-481
It's likely the same limitation with Knowledge, as under the covers it's doing the same thing (API call to get info).

Subject: Voice bot and IVR silence while knowledge is being retrieved
Hi all,
We are testing Voice bots and the ability to surface knowledge articles to the callers. What we have noticed is that when we speak a phrase that is matched to a KB article it can take 2-3 seconds or more for the Bot to begin reading the KB article. This results in several seconds of IVR silence for our caller.
Has anyone else experienced this? Hoping there may be a way to reduce this IVR silence. If not, I was going to make a suggestion on the Ideas portal for the ability to play a prompt while searching the KB similar to how we can configure for a Data Action today. That way the caller knows the IVR has heard what was spoken and working on an answer.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or tips.
