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
