How to delegate coding tasks to an Agent by voice with Qwen Audio Agent

Speak tasks to a backend coding Agent and hear results return to the same conversation.

Credentials. The setup stores a Bailian or other provider API Key in the config file, so keep that file private and do not commit it to a repo.

Who it is forA developer who wants to keep talking through a problem while a coding Agent edits files or runs tools in the background.

The problemWaiting on a coding Agent to finish a task blocks the conversation, so the developer cannot ask follow-up questions or check progress.

The outcomeThe developer talks to the voice frontend, sends a task to the backend Agent, asks for progress, and gets the result back in the same conversation.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.22.2+ or 24.15.0+ and npm 10+
  • A Bailian (DashScope) API Key or another supported voice frontend key, such as an OpenAI or Google API Key
  • A backend Agent you want to use, such as Qwen Code, OpenCode, or Claude Code, installed through the one-click install option
  • Microphone access on your computer

Steps

  1. Install the runtime with npm install -g qwen-audio-agent.
  2. Create your config and add your API Key with qwenaudio config.
  3. Set AGENT_PROTOCOL in the config to the backend Agent you want, for example openclaw, or leave it empty for frontend-only mode.
  4. Start the Gateway with qwenaudio in one terminal.
  5. Open a second terminal and start the TUI with qwenaudio tui, then speak your task.

Prompt for your agent

Use the repo QwenAudio/qwen-audio-agent to set up a voice session that delegates <task description> to a backend coding Agent. Confirm the Gateway starts and the TUI connects, then report the task status returned in the conversation. Verify that the Gateway log shows the task was created before reporting success.

Caveat. The README says the backend Agent must be installed and configured separately, and some backends are marked as not yet fully verified.
