# Eleven Labs

**ElevenLabsTools** enable an Agent to perform audio generation tasks using [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/product/introduction)

## Prerequisites

You need to install the `elevenlabs` library and an API key which can be obtained from [Eleven Labs](https://elevenlabs.io/)

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install elevenlabs
```

Set the `ELEVEN_LABS_API_KEY` environment variable.

```bash theme={null}
export ELEVEN_LABS_API_KEY=****
```

## Example

The following agent will use Eleven Labs to generate audio based on a user prompt.

```python cookbook/14_tools/eleven_labs_tools.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.eleven_labs import ElevenLabsTools

# Create an Agent with the ElevenLabs tool
agent = Agent(tools=[
    ElevenLabsTools(
        voice_id="JBFqnCBsd6RMkjVDRZzb", model_id="eleven_multilingual_v2", target_directory="audio_generations"
    )
], name="ElevenLabs Agent")

agent.print_response("Generate a audio summary of the big bang theory", markdown=True)
```
