TEXT-TO-SPEECH

The agent finishes, the summary scrolls past, and you will read it later. Build the fix: a coding agent that ends every run with a plain-language summary, piped into ElevenLabs text-to-speech and out as an MP3 you can listen to on the way to work. The complete one-hour build.

A fair, sourced comparison of the TTS APIs developers reach for in 2026: OpenAI, ElevenLabs, xAI Grok, and Cartesia. Quality vs latency vs price, streaming, voice cloning policies, and whether to route through an AI gateway or go direct.
