Voice Chat Echo

Problem and Positioning

Voice Chat Echo addresses the case where Agent replies remain text-heavy. During code review, technical explanation, or daily conversation, engineers keep staring at the screen. It does not change the Agent's core reasoning; after the text reply is generated, it adds an audio playback step so the response can be listened to while reading or read-only.

How It Works

• Automatic playback: for most substantive replies, it calls the Agent's built-in tts tool after the text is complete.
• Text optimization: removes Markdown markers, summarizes code instead of reading it line by line, converts tables into natural language, and reads link text instead of URLs.
• Opening line: can broadcast a user-configured greeting before the first substantive reply; it is suppressed in non-main sessions.
• Fallback: retries once on tts failure, then degrades to text-only with a notice.

Boundaries

It depends on a platform with built-in tts and audio output. It does not include real-time interruption, speech input, or voice cloning. If the user asks for text only, the Agent should stop broadcasting.
