OpenRouter publishes Python tutorial for a voice AI booking agent
Overview
OpenRouter's blog publishes a tutorial for building a restaurant booking voice agent in Python.
The agent chains speech-to-text, an LLM with tool calls, and text-to-speech, all through one OpenRouter API key. In the post's October 8 tests, the median server-side time to first audio was 1.9 seconds across 12 turns, and text-to-speech accounted for about 90% of the measured cost. The post also compares speech-to-text and models, and recommends confirming names with callers because transcription errors were common.
