The paper discusses the benefits of metacognitive guidance for a natural language dialog agent. These capabilities may be included directly in the agent or through a general purpose external module. We report on the specific case of handling pause time in dialog, using a metacognitive loop within the agent, and discuss future experiments implementing guidance for this example also using the general module.
