+The error message you're seeing is likely due to the way you're defining and calling the `generate_response` function in your Gradio app.
+
+In Gradio, when you define a function with the `async` keyword, it's expected to be a coroutine that returns a value. However, when you define a function with the `async` keyword, you need to use the `await` keyword to call it.
+
+In your case, you're defining the `generate_response` function as an `async` function, but you're not using the `await` keyword to call it. Instead, you're passing it as a callback to the `gr.Button` component.
+
+To fix this issue, you need to define the `generate_response` function without the `async` keyword, and then use the `await` keyword to call the `respond` function inside it.
+
+Here's an updated version of your code that should work:

+This code defines the `generate_response` function without the `async` keyword, and then uses the `await` keyword to call the `respond` function inside it. It also creates a new event loop to run the `respond` function, since it's an asynchronous function.
