This example demonstrates how to create an agent that can process audio input and generate audio output using OpenAI’s GPT-4o audio preview model. The agent analyzes an audio recording and responds with both text and audio.

Code

import requests
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.media import Audio
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.utils.audio import write_audio_to_file
from rich.pretty import pprint

# Fetch the audio file and convert it to a base64 encoded string
url = "https://openaiassets.blob.core.windows.net/$web/API/docs/audio/alloy.wav"
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status()
wav_data = response.content

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(
        id="gpt-5-mini-audio-preview",
        modalities=["text", "audio"],
        audio={"voice": "sage", "format": "wav"},
    ),
    markdown=True,
)

run_response = agent.run(
    "What's in these recording?",
    audio=[Audio(content=wav_data, format="wav")],
)

if run_response.response_audio is not None:
    pprint(run_response.content)
    write_audio_to_file(
        audio=run_response.response_audio.content, filename="tmp/result.wav"
    )
