### Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from elevenlabs import AsyncElevenLabs

openai_client = AsyncOpenAI()
elevenlabs = AsyncElevenLabs()

async def main():
    engine = await elevenlabs.speech_engine.get("seng_123")

    async def on_transcript(transcript, session):
        stream = await openai_client.responses.create(
            model="gpt-4o",
            input=[
                {"role": "assistant" if m.role == "agent" else m.role, "content": m.content}
                for m in transcript
            ],
            stream=True,
        )
        await session.send_response(stream)

    async def on_init(conversation_id, session):
        print(f"Session started: {conversation_id}")

    async def on_close(session):
        print(f"Session ended: {session.conversation_id}")

    async def on_error(err, session):
        print(f"Error: {err}")

    await engine.serve(
        port=3001,
        debug=True,
        on_init=on_init,
        on_transcript=on_transcript,
        on_close=on_close,
        on_error=on_error,
    )

asyncio.run(main())
