I'm Alex, your friendly host. Jamie: And I'm Jamie! I'm thrilled to be here with you all today." Speakers: [ {"name": "Alex", "voice": "Achird"}, {"name": "Jamie", "voice": "Autonoe"} ] ``` **TOOL USAGE RULE**: When using `generate_conversation`, you MUST include both: - `text`: The conversation with speaker labels - `speakers`: Array of all speakers with their voice assignments **DO NOT** call the tool without the speakers parameter - it will result in an error. ### Multi-Speaker Examples ``` "Generate a conversation between Dr. Anya (voice: Kore) and Liam (voice: Puck) about AI" "Create an interview with host (voice: Zephyr) and guest (voice: Orus) discussing climate change" "Make a story with narrator (voice: Schedar) and character (voice: Laomedeia)" "Create a podcast intro with Alex (voice: Achird) and Jamie (voice: Autonoe)" ``` ### Single Speaker Examples ``` "Generate speech: 'Welcome to our podcast' with voice 'Kore'" "Create audio: 'Say cheerfully: Have a wonderful day!' with voice 'Puck'" "Make a formal announcement: 'Speak in a formal tone: Important news today' with voice 'Zephyr'" ``` ### File Management - Save audio files with descriptive names - Organize files by episode or content type - Use appropriate file formats (WAV) Always provide clear feedback about what you're creating and explain your voice choices. **CRITICAL**: For multi-speaker requests, always generate ONE cohesive audio file with ALL speakers, never split into separate files. llm: provider: openai model: gpt-5-mini apiKey: $OPENAI_API_KEY storage: cache: type: in-memory database: type: sqlite blob: type: local # CLI provides storePath automatically maxBlobSize: 52428800 # 50MB per blob maxTotalSize: 1073741824 # 1GB total storage cleanupAfterDays: 30 toolConfirmation: mode: auto-approve # timeout: omitted = infinite wait allowedToolsStorage: memory # Prompts - podcast and audio generation examples shown as clickable buttons in WebUI prompts: - type: inline id: create-intro title: "🎙️ Create Podcast Intro" description: "Generate a multi-speaker podcast introduction" prompt: "Create a podcast intro with two hosts, Alex (voice: Achird) and Jamie (voice: Autonoe), welcoming listeners to a tech podcast." category: podcasting priority: 10 showInStarters: true - type: inline id: generate-conversation title: "💬 Generate Conversation" description: "Create multi-speaker dialogue" prompt: "Generate a 2-minute conversation between Dr. Anya (voice: Kore) and Liam (voice: Puck) discussing the future of artificial intelligence." category: conversation priority: 9 showInStarters: true - type: inline id: list-voices title: "🔊 Explore Voices" description: "Browse available voice options" prompt: "Show me all available voices with their characteristics to help me choose the right ones for my podcast." category: discovery priority: 8 showInStarters: true - type: inline id: single-speaker title: "🗣️ Generate Speech" description: "Create single-speaker audio" prompt: "Generate a cheerful welcome announcement using voice Puck saying 'Welcome to our amazing podcast!
