Use joinly for multi-party conversation

[fynnomenon]

Hey, guys!

This thread is intended for discussing ways to improve the Multi-Party-Conversation (MPC) capabilities of joinly.

The most obvious solution would be to adjust the prompt in client_example.py. Currently, the default prompt states, "You are only with one other participant in the meeting, therefore respond to all messages and questions" because we believe that people will first test it out in a one-on-one setting. For MPC settings, of course, this needs to be removed and replaced with instructions, like "directly use the finish tool, when not spoken to".

In #116, we introduced a new default system prompt for the joinly-client package (#84) that supports two conversational styles: dyadic for one-on-one meetings and mpc for group meetings. The default setting is mpc which also works reasonably well for one-on-one meetings. To switch between the two styles, we introduced a new flag called --prompt-style.

Command line usage

uvx joinly-client --prompt-style dyadic <MeetingUrl>

Code usage

import asyncio
from joinly_client import run

async def async_run():
    await run(
        joinly_url="http://localhost:8000/mcp/",
        meeting_url="<MeetingUrl>",
        llm_provider="openai",
        llm_model="gpt-4o-mini",
        promt-style="dyadic"
        name="joinly",
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(async_run())

Of course, you can still write custom prompts and instructions as you did before.
