Hello,

Can you please add support for openrouter.ai? (Transcription, AI bots etc)

This is extremely useful, especially since you can set on your own which model you want to use, as well as load balance or failover in case the primary model is down

Thanks

If it helps you this would allow you to use openrouter.

> Just a heads up the newest docker image isn’t working correctly passing the prompt, I updated the initial post to stick to 1.3.4 in case anybody is testing this. I’ll work with gcareri to make this universal and not just apply to vitalpbx so we don’t need a custom image.

I think the issue is mostly with codec conversion. Twilio handles that which is why they integrated twilio specifically. Avr-agent handles this as well, it took quite a bit of tweaking and eventually he found a module on a github account that handled PCM with different bitrates to/from ulaw.

Please stop promoting this product in every corner. This AVR thingy is not a VitalPBX product and it does not meet the needs of what I mentioned above.

Howdy 🤠

Friendly bump on this one.

The flexibility that OpenRouter provides is very beneficial for everyone.

Transcribing Voicemails are really cheap with some of their models

We won’t provide more updates for the AI module. At least for the Debian 12 version.
