We added `GandrTools`, a toolkit that lets an agent turn text into speech through the Gandr TTS API. Hand it some text and it returns spoken audio.

```python
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.gandr import GandrTools

agent = Agent(tools=[GandrTools()])
agent.print_response("Read this back: order 4-2-7-1 ships on March 3rd.")
```

Gandr is built for voice agents, so it reads the things other engines trip over, like numbers, dates, order IDs, and addresses. One engine covers 23 languages with six voices, and audio streams back as it is generated. Set your `GANDR_API_KEY` and it is ready to use.
