## Description

The UI displays a response time after the initial acknowledgement from the agent, but before the agent has completed all its tool calls and generated the final answer. The user argues that the total response time should encompass the entire process, from their prompt to the final output, not just one intermediate step.

## What the narrator said

> "but the response time took 10 seconds. She's not done with the response... that all should be in one response time, not one for each for each and every tool call."

## Detailed visual walkthrough

The video opens on a dark-mode chat interface titled "Athena v3". In the main chat panel, a user has submitted a prompt asking for an infographic about the "current state of the iran-us war." The AI agent has just begun its response.

The agent's first message appears: "I'll create a stunning visual infographic about the current Iran-US conflict situation. Let me first gather the latest information, then build something with charts, diagrams, and visual elements." Directly beneath this initial text, a metric is displayed: "response time took 10 seconds".

The narrator's cursor moves to circle this response time metric as they begin to speak. They express dissatisfaction, stating, "but the response time took 10 seconds. She's not done with the response." As they speak, the UI updates to show the agent is, in fact, not finished. A new block appears below the first message, showing a `tool_search` call with a detailed search query. This indicates the agent is now performing a search to gather the information it mentioned.

The narrator clarifies the issue: "all the tool calls in a row that she does until this is answered, that all should be in one response time, not one for each and every tool call." At the bottom of the screen, a green progress bar with the label "Thinking..." confirms the agent is still actively working. The core problem demonstrated is that the response time metric is displayed prematurely after the agent's initial acknowledgement, rather than reflecting the total time required to complete the entire multi-step task and deliver the final answer.

## Suggested fix

Adjust the logic for calculating and displaying the response time. The timer should start when the user sends their prompt and stop only when the final, complete response is delivered. The displayed time should reflect this total duration.

- `clip.mp4` — Video clip (189.5s – 213.0s, plus 2s padding on each side)
- `screenshot.png` — Key frame at 192.5s with red bounding box (see note above on accuracy)
- `screenshot_raw.png` — Same frame, no annotations

- `bug.json` — Structured data
- `omniparser_elements.json` — every UI element detected on this screen by the OmniParser YOLOv8 model, with pixel-space bounding boxes and confidence scores. Useful if the red box in `screenshot.png` is on the wrong element — you can pick a different one from this list.
