I was thinking of using openai api within a custom action and stream the streaming response coming from openai to my chatbot. Openai is giving me streaming response and i am doing “dispatcher.utter\_message(openai\_res\_chunk)” from actions, but the response is not getting streamed in chunks to my bot and is available only after last chunk from openai. I am also passing “stream”: True while sending request to rasa server, but nothing is working. How to achieve this? ---

Out of the box, the SDK CollectingDispatcher does not support streaming (see source code [here](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-sdk/blob/main/rasa_sdk/executor.py)). Given that Rasa has an open source offering, you could extend the SDK to add streaming, however I don’t have any guidance for you on how to do so. ---

Is there any way to stream the response?
