# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Voice vs. audio attachment handling in cron and gateway delivery

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Members concern how audio is delivered as voice notes versus attachments: one reports cron media delivery dropping the \`\[\[audio_as_voice\]\]\` flag for Telegram, and one proposes forwarding the voice flag in cron's send_voice call. A third addresses gateway behavior for plain audio on Discord and similar platforms, which is related but a distinct change.
