    Hey KillianAB, thanks for your question ! Are you using a "use an assistant" node? Can you tell us more about the assistant you plugged it to? Is it a simple or advanced assistant?

    I use the Dust module in Make. I’ve just modified the timeout directly in Make. I’ll continue testing and see if this solves my bug.

    Hi, is your assistant taking a while to answer in the Dust UI?

    Yes approximately 1 minute

    Yes it might just be that 1 minute is too much for make 😕 that's something you need to see on their side I guess!

    Hector - Zeffy I couldn’t force the timeout on the Make side. The timeout can only be configured in HTTP requests. To save time on the query, I deactivated the “Web Search & Browse” part in my assistant.

    Hi, same here. We have a timeout in Make, and we cannot access any parameters to manage it.

    Damien Laborie It is indeed impossible to change the settings on Make. What are your assistant settings?

    I’m talking about the settings directly in Dust.

    Hello, I have the same issue, the DUST assistant called from Make answers for more than a minute. (the same assistant called from DUST responds in a few seconds.)

    Hello, I have the same issue. Did anyone find the solution? 🙏

    Hi, there's unfortunately no other solution than trying to make your assistant answer faster by doing less - make has a specific timeout (40s I believe) that we can't change. They will likely have to change that in the future with the increase of AI agents

    For info, we use pipedream (and also have an integration there) that lets you pick the desired timeout
