How to list available TTS models with your AI

Connect your Coqui TTS instance to your AI client once. From then on, your agent can check which voices are loaded and ready for work.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see which TTS models are ready to use?

Your agent uses the list_models tool to fetch a real-time inventory of every speech synthesis model on your Coqui instance. This gives you a clear list of available voices for your next task.

The outcomes

What you get from this task

The AI provides direct visibility into your Coqui Speech Studio setup.

INVENTORY

Model availability

The AI pulls a list of all loaded models. You'll see exactly which voices are active.

SELECTION

Voice choice

Your agent identifies specific models by name. This lets you pick the right tone for your project.

VALIDATION

Capability check

The AI confirms if a specific model exists before trying to run a task. This prevents errors.

HUMAN

Manual control

You decide which models to add or remove from your Coqui instance. The AI only reads what you've already loaded.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Coqui API.

  1. Query the instance

    Your agent reaches out to your Coqui Speech Studio API to request the current model list.

    list_models

  2. Parse model data

    The AI processes the raw data from the API to identify model names and configurations.

    list_models

  3. Verify availability

    The agent checks the list against your specific request to ensure the model is actually loaded.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI add new models to my Coqui instance?

    No. The AI can only list the models that you have already loaded onto your instance.

    Does the AI know the specific settings of each model?

    Yes, it can see the model identifiers provided by the list_models tool.

  • 03
