Prompting Guide - GPT real time mini
OpenAI Developer Community
May 26, 2026
Hi @lnobrega,
I’d use the newer realtime prompting guide as a starting point for gpt-realtime-mini, but not assume it transfers perfectly.
gpt-realtime-mini seems optimized for cost and latency, while the newer guide focuses on realtime-agent structure: clear roles, tool rules, confirmations, interruptions and concise responses.
So I’d:
use the newer guide’s structure
keep prompts shorter for mini
test tool-calling and interruption behavior separately
