Recent end-to-end spoken dialogue models enable natural interaction. However, as user demands become increasingly complex, models that rely solely on conversational abilities often struggle to cope. Incorporating agentic capabilities is therefore essential: by enabling tool use, these models can extend their knowledge boundaries and better solve real-world tasks. Yet, existing research has largely concentrated on core perception and generation, with comparatively limited exploration of such tool-augmented extensions. To bridge this gap, we present VoxMind, an integrated framework designed to equip end-to-end spoken dialogue models with comprehensive agentic abilities. Leveraging our curated 470-hour AgentChat dataset, we incorporate a "Think-before-Speak" mechanism, enabling the model to internalize structured reasoning as a critical prerequisite for planning and response generation. Furthermore, to mitigate latency bottlenecks caused by large-scale tool integration, we propose a Multi-Agent Dynamic Tool Management architecture. By asynchronously delegating retrieval tasks to an auxiliary agent aligned with the main model’s reasoning trajectory, this system effectively decouples inference latency from toolset size. Experimental results confirm that VoxMind achieves significant improvements in agent performance: compared with strong baselines, the task completion rate increases from 34.88% to 74.57%, outperforming Gemini-2.5-Pro on spoken agent tasks while preserving general conversational quality. The source code and associated data are publicly available at https://github.com/MM-Speech/VoxMind.

The rapid evolution of end-to-end spoken dialogue systems demands transcending mere textual semantics to incorporate paralinguistic nuances and the spontaneous nature of human conversation. However, current methods struggle with two critical gaps: the modality gap, involving prosody and emotion, and the colloquialness gap, distinguishing written scripts from natural speech. To address these challenges, we introduce SDiaReward, an end-to-end multi-turn reward model trained on SDiaReward-Dataset, a novel collection of episode-level preference pairs explicitly targeting these gaps. It operates directly on full multi-turn speech episodes and is optimized with pairwise preference supervision, enabling joint assessment of modality and colloquialness in a single evaluator. We further establish ESDR-Bench, a stratified benchmark for robust episode-level evaluation. Experiments demonstrate that SDiaReward achieves state-of-the-art pairwise preference accuracy, significantly outperforming general-purpose audio LLMs. Further analysis suggests that SDiaReward captures relative conversational expressiveness beyond superficial synthesis cues, improving generalization across domains and recording conditions.
