# @deepgram/react 0.2.0: @deepgram/react 0.2.0 adds runtime Voice Agent controls and makes React session lifecycle… By Steven Van · 2026-09-10 Version 0.2.0 adds live runtime controls for Voice Agent sessions and safer start, stop, and reconnect handling in React. The React package for [Deepgram]()'s Voice Agent API now lets developers change a connected session at runtime instead of recreating the provider. Version 0.2.0 also updates the package for @deepgram/agents 0.1.2 and @deepgram/sdk 5.9.0. - sendAgentMessage() injects a message into the agent with "default", "queue", or "interrupt" behavior. - updateListen(), updateThink(), updateSpeak(), and updatePrompt() change agent settings mid-session, with typed callbacks confirming each update. - useAgentMode() and useDeepgramAgent() now expose a "thinking" mode and an isThinking state. - Start, stop, reconnect, and React StrictMode handling now clean up canceled or failed microphone, playback, and client-tool resources. Automatic start failures call onSdkError, or log to the console if no callback is set, and a manual start() call now rejects instead. The [migration guide]() notes this is a breaking release: exhaustive AgentMode switches must handle "thinking", typed context and hook result types add required members, registerClientTool() now returns an unsubscribe function, and useDeepgramAgent().start() clears conversation before starting a fresh session.
