Switches the starter's voice to Audrey (49c443a4-8a1d-5f7e-b70b-98bdbd9823c3), AssemblyAI's best-performing voice in benchmarks.

  • src/agent.py: TTS_VOICE is Audrey's ID, and ASSISTANT_NAME is "Audrey", so the agent introduces itself by the voice's name.
  • README: Audrey is the default in the building-blocks table, and the voice preview curl uses her ID instead of aai-jane.
  • skills/tts-voice: the code snippet uses Audrey.

Audrey is a library voice that speaks English only. The languages skill and the featured-voices list still name the eleven aai-* voices, Jane among them, because they're the ones that speak all six TTS languages.

Stacked on #1: the base is getting-started-and-skills, since main still has the clinic agent. GitHub retargets this to main when #1 merges. The change was briefly pushed to #1 directly and reverted there, so it can be reviewed here.

Testing

  • uv run pytest against the live API: 4 of 4.
  • ruff format --check and ruff check pass.
  • Audrey's ID synthesizes through the TTS HTTP API, which reports her ID and english back in its headers.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Audrey (49c443a4-8a1d-5f7e-b70b-98bdbd9823c3) replaces Keegan as the agent's voice and
name, and replaces Jane in the README's voice preview.
