Chat Mode for Audio

Use chat_mode="agent" for all audio generation tasks.

Audio generation—whether voiceovers, music, or sound design—executes efficiently in agent mode. CellCog's audio capabilities don't require multi-angle deliberation; they require precise execution, which agent mode excels at.

There's no scenario where agent team mode provides meaningfully better audio output. Save agent team for research and complex creative work that benefits from multiple reasoning passes.

Example Audio Prompts

Professional voiceover:

"Generate a professional voiceover for this script:

'Introducing TaskFlow - the project management tool that actually works. With intelligent automation, seamless collaboration, and powerful analytics, TaskFlow helps teams do their best work.'

Voice: Female, American accent, confident and friendly, medium pace. Suitable for a product launch video."

Podcast intro:

"Create a podcast intro voiceover:

'Welcome to Future Forward, the podcast where we explore the technologies shaping tomorrow. I'm your host, and today we're diving into...'

Voice: Male, warm and engaging, conversational tone. Also generate a 10-second upbeat intro music bed to go underneath."

Background music:

"Generate 2 minutes of calm, lo-fi hip-hop style background music. Should be chill and unobtrusive, good for studying or working. Include soft piano, mellow beats, and gentle vinyl crackle. 75 BPM."

Audiobook narration:

"Create an audiobook-style narration of this passage:

[passage text]

Voice: Male, British accent, 50s, warm and storytelling quality. Pace should be measured, with appropriate pauses for drama. Think classic BBC narrator."

Cinematic music:

"Generate 90 seconds of cinematic orchestral music for a tech company's 'About Us' video. Start soft and inspiring, build to a confident crescendo, then resolve to a hopeful ending. Think Hans Zimmer meets corporate inspiration."

Multi-Language Support

CellCog can generate speech in many languages:

• English (multiple accents)
• Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese
• Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese)
• Japanese, Korean
• Hindi, Arabic
• And many more

Specify the language in your prompt:

"Generate this text in Japanese with a native female speaker: 'いらっしゃいませ...'"

Tips for Better Audio

1. For voiceovers: Provide the complete script. Don't say "something about our product" - write out exactly what should be said.

2. Describe the voice: Age, gender, accent, emotion, pace. "Professional female, American, confident but warm, medium pace" is clear.

3. For music: Specify duration, tempo (BPM if you know it), mood, and genre. Reference artists or songs if helpful: "Think lo-fi beats like ChilledCow playlists."

4. Pronunciation guidance: For names or technical terms, add pronunciation hints: "CellCog (pronounced SELL-kog)"

5. Emotional beats: For longer voiceovers, indicate tone shifts: "[excited] And now for the big reveal... [serious] But there's a catch."
