## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Then help me transcribe audio and video with Scrollport's Speech to text API tools. Start with Scribe Speech-to-Text (tool ID: elevenlabs.scribe-speech-to-text) unless another Scrollport tool fits my request better. Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.
