Passing the Turing test for voice agents. We just shipped a major ElevenAgents update: - Lower-latency, smoother turn-taking with new conversational model - Expressive Mode for contextual emotional delivery - Available in 70+ languages

Inspired by @lexfridman & @narendramodi’s conversation - so proud of our team for making it accessible in both English & Hindi. ElevenLabs was founded on the back of poor-quality dubbing. Seeing it evolve into an immersive experience that preserves emotion & intent is incredible

Turns out... worst possible launch day 😅

We’re excited to share that NVIDIA is investing in ElevenLabs, with support from Jensen Huang. Last week’s U.S. state visit to the UK strengthened AI ties. With our roots growing deeper in both places, this partnership and conversation were the perfect way to cap it off.

Today, a new chapter begins for ElevenLabs - we closed our $180M Series C co-led by a16z & ICONIQ to give every AI agent a voice.

Today, @elevenlabs is launching a $100M employee tender co-led by Sequoia & ICONIQ at a $6.6B valuation - 2x since Series C just 9 months ago. With ARR >$200M in <3 years and enterprise adoption surging, we’re aligning the team for long term while helping them realize value now

First trip to India 🇮🇳 this week - with Keir Starmer & 125 leaders on the UK’s largest trade mission. India is already voice-first: one third of internet users use voice search monthly. Today it's ElevenLabs #1 market by signups & #2 by enterprise revenue - and we will do more!

Eleven Music is here! Created with leading labels, publishers & artists, it lets you craft studio-quality tracks with control over genre, style & language, using just text. Built on licensed catalogs; every song you create is cleared for commercial use!

Introducing Eleven v3 (alpha) - our most expressive Text to Speech model yet. - Full emotion control - Multi-speaker dialogue - 70+ languages It’s a research preview: takes a bit of prompting, but when it’s right, the output is breathtaking!

We don’t often share numbers, but with yesterday’s announcement it felt right to provide a bit of context. Alongside the employee tender, we shared that ElevenLabs has now reached $200M ARR. Our valuation is tied to our growth and revenue. In AI, things can shift quickly - both for better and worse - so we measure ourselves by what’s real: the trust of our customers, the speed of our iteration & progress, and the fit of our products in the market. A quick look-back: - Early 2022: ElevenLabs founded - 2022-11: launched closed beta - 2023-01: launched publicly - 2024-10: crossed $100M ARR - 2025-08: crossed $200M ARR - 2026-01: aiming for $300M ARR Three years on, we’re still heads down and not taking anything for granted. Each milestone was driven by our customers, and a small team working with high intent - doing the best work of their lives - alongside companies bold enough to build at the frontier. Now - back to building.

Should we re-launch next week? A few v3 tricks remaining!

Andreessen Horowitz has supported us at ElevenLabs from our earliest days - and almost no investor has helped the company more than their brilliant team and our partners Jennifer and Bryan - including a few sleepless nights. Beyond help, we have a couple of crazy stories too. From the early days, we worked together to scale fast but stay disciplined - from SEO and paid marketing to assembling a strong team and negotiating GPU deals. It will be great to have @JenniferHli join us at the ElevenLabs Summit in SF to share some of those experiences - and to support the next generation of startups that will be with us on the day! But beyond being a fighter, Jennifer is also a kind and genuinely supportive human. Everyone who had worked with Jennifer told us that's exactly who she is. And our own experience matches that: - Closing one of our biggest deals with a media & entertainment company: we set up a full-day war room and the a16z legal team jumped in and stayed with us to the finish - Frequently helping us find great people to join & offering time to speak (or close!) them to join us at the company - To pulling out an all-nighter together to figure out the terms & how to bring other partners onboard during our Series B. The photo below is from the morning after - clarity often comes from constraint and we’d distilled everything down to two paths on a single sheet of paper with Piotr continuously dialled-in. And we ended up signing our Term Sheet! Thanks, Jennifer for all your work - and excited to have you join on 11/11!

One day, this will be the default and we won’t stop until it is!

So excited for the start of a partnership between @elevenlabs and @Spotify, enabling authors and publishers to distribute AI-generated audiobooks to millions of users.

Today, we are launching our own Speech to Text model: ElevenLabs Scribe v1. Scribe outperforms current state-of-the-art models on FLEURS and Common Voice benchmarks and finally delivers what’s been frequently missing: accurate timestamps, speaker diarization and audio event tagging across 99 languages. At ElevenLabs, we’re obsessed with solving AI audio end-to-end and excited to push the research frontier forward, thanks to the work of @flavioschneider, @maxilevi__ , Tim and many others behind the scenes. Speech-to-Text is essential across our solutions, from precise captioning and transcription to full AI dubbing. And with streaming coming soon, conversational AI experiences will get even better. Scribe is available today on our website and via API - no waiting list, and you can try it directly without signing up.

Let's go, Europe! Proud to be part of Project Europe alongside 125+ amazing founders across the region, coming together to support the next generation of companies. The talent and potential across Europe are incredible - and now with great resources to help you build.

To kick off ElevenLabs Summit we are releasing the best speech-to-text real-time model: Scribe v2 Realtime. - <150ms latency - incredible across all languages - 93.5% accuracy on FLEURS for top 30 languages And of course available in Agents Platform straight away too.

We built ElevenLabs as a global company - in mission and presence. We’re proud to be incorporated in the US, our core market and international hub for AI innovation; to have our main base in the UK; and to hail from and invest in Poland, all while building a remote, global team. We keep learning from all three and many more as we expand internationally. This week at the AI Action Summit in Paris, I was honored to represent the company and speak with policymakers and leaders about AI opportunities. We also joined Europe’s top companies in launching the EU AI Champions Initiative - working together to push AI innovation across the continent and beyond.

Trying to do the same for London! If you’re around and want to join the invite list for the next event with other builders and founders, drop me a note or comment if this could be interesting to you!

11/11 tomorrow - and our first-ever ElevenLabs Summit and the beginning of Eleven Week. Many releases and announcements ahead. A bit nervous & very excited!

Launching on the noisiest day just means we raise the bar. We’re upping the ante: shipping > drama. A few Eleven v3 examples from yesterday ↓

Earlier this week I experienced my first IPO, as part of Klarna’s board. Fortunate to join such an incredible team and their celebrations which ended with a surprise: a special NYSE coin engraved with the address: 11 Wall Street. A fun coincidence - maybe a sign for ElevenLabs?

Voice is the future interface. Excited to partner with the Lovable team to now make it easier for anyone to start building incredible applications. More to come!

Over the last 6 months we’ve quietly built something new - bringing human review into a new form: ElevenLabs Productions. At its core, it’s human-in-the-loop audio services with 500 experts already in the network - larger than the ElevenLabs team itself.

330 people, 46 countries, almost 100M users - seeing it all come together at our ElevenLabs offsite, with the entire team pushing as one, was special. At this scale, what matters most is culture. Seeing independent teams plan, iterate, close the quarter, and ship together made it clear: the company is now building itself. A quick look at the slope: - 2022 | 5 people · 3 countries · 71 registered users - 2023 | 40 · 12 · 8M - 2024 | 120 · 30 · 30M+ - 2025 | 330 · 46 · 80M+ We’re remote-first, so the scale is easy to miss day-to-day. Seeing everyone in one place makes it real, and the pride is immense. Our job is to put great people where they are able to do their best work - creating conditions for a winning team with peers who raise the bar for one another. Honoured to be building with 300+ spartans across ElevenLabs all the way to IPO.

Thanks for the ElevenLabs shoutout, @lexfridman! Loved working together to bring your conversation with President Zelenskyy to multiple languages, while maintaining his authentic voice and delivery.

Salesforce + ElevenLabs! Salesforce paved the way for today’s operating layer - PaaS, ecosystem, API tools. We’re thrilled to partner as they push the next chapter with Agentforce Voice - and great to cover it on Bloomberg during Dreamforce.

Hosting a casual, impromptu meetup for builders & founders in voice AI & agents space, this Thursday in SF. Conversations, demos, dinner & drinks - join if you are around!

👀. ElevenLabs research team cooking up something new.

About 16 years ago, my ringtone was Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas. Hard to believe the artist behind it - @iamwill will be joining us at the ElevenLabs Summit on 11/11. A seven-time Grammy winner, multi-platinum artist, tech innovator, global education advocate, and even the great voice of Moto Moto in Madagascar! Today he’s building @focusyourideas, a platform for creatives that brings AI and collaboration together in one space. But more than anything, he’s a joy to be around - endlessly kind, curious, and full of ideas that push what’s possible in sound, education, and technology. Can’t wait to have you with us!

We are bringing the iconic voice of Polish legend Piotr Fronczewski to every book out there, continuing his incredible legacy through our @elevenreader application - the future of narration - building on top of our ElevenLabs core research. We couldn’t be more proud of our collaboration with Piotr. For many of us across generations, his voice and acting have created magic both on and off the screen. I grew up listening to his narrations of the Harry Potter books, and it feels surreal now to immerse myself in so many stories, both current and upcoming, narrated by him. Piotr’s AI voice joins our Iconic Voices collection alongside other legends like Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra, and Richard Feynman. Alongside this release, we’re also bringing thousands of literary classics in Polish to the ElevenReader app, thanks to our partnership with Wolne Lektury. You can now enjoy all these classics in Piotr’s voice, breathing new life into literature. We’re honored by his trust - and we’ll work hard to match the standard his legacy has set.

Thank you PM @Keir_Starmer for hosting us at Chequers to talk AI & innovation. The UK has the talent, culture & history to do something remarkable. Our largest team’s in London - and while AI is global, local action matters. We are excited to help build a thriving ecosystem here.

Voice AI is notoriously tough to showcase, so even happier to see how others are trying to push Eleven v3’s limits. A few fun ones from the last days: from a tough passage to a beautiful pairing with video models. ↓

And that’s a wrap on the first ElevenLabs Summit. A full day with partners, friends, and the team - showing what we’ve built and where we’re going. An amazing day: - Jack Dorsey joined to talk about the future and the place of voice and agents in it. - Yvonne Johnson spoke about why voice matters and how central it is to dignity. - With David Rogier we explored the future of education and hands-on learning. - We shared our Impact Program work - fitting on a day marked by service and memory - Veterans Day in the US, Independence Day in Poland, Remembrance Day in many countries. - Across leaders at Salesforce, Disney, and TELUS we dug into how enterprises are deploying our tools to reduce wait times, localize content, and unlock new customer experiences. - And we had amazing startups join us to, with Nowadays taking home prize 11/11 will always be special for ElevenLabs. On this day 3 years ago we launched our first TTS model with a team of 5. Since then: - We grew from a foundational-model company into a product company - two full platforms: an Agents Platform with configuration, deployment, and monitoring built in for elevating customer experiences and an end-to-end Creative Platform for narration, voiceover, and dubbing. - We keep on pushing audio research frontier forward powering our platforms - from TTS to STT, Music, SFX, Dubbing & Orchestration models. - We scaled from $0 to nearly $300M ARR, now serving millions of creators and thousands of enterprises - paving the way - We built a team of more than 350 people, all pushing in the same direction from all corners of the world Yet it’s just the beginning. We’re here to solve how humans and technology interact - making creation and interaction seamless, on human terms, giving people more time and control. And we are heads down and all in on making this happen. Not everyone could be there for the picture. But everyone’s work is reflected in where we got to, with @dabkowski_piotr & I just immensely proud of our team and partners working to make the future happen sooner.

June was intense: we shipped a new foundational model, rolled out major upgrades to our Conversational AI platform, and more! We deployed Eleven v3 (alpha) - our most expressive Text to Speech model. It adds full control, 70+ languages and dialogue support. It's an alpha version, but with the right prompting, the results can get breathtaking! Conversational AI platform - build your own voice agent - now supports: - MCP (including streamable HTTP) - allowing AI agents to connect easily to services such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, and more - Agents & Tools are now easier to create - Widget supports text interaction in addition to audio, giving users greater flexibility and easier input - Improved design across the platform Audio Creative platform - create anything with audio - now comes with: - Voice Design v3 - generate any voice with just a prompt. Control pitch, accent, gender, and emotion; no samples needed - Mobile version for both iOS and Android - a streamlined mini version of the platform Showcase: - @11dotai assistant - a voice-agent prototype that demonstrates what you can build with the Conversational AI platform. It speaks, acts, and integrates with products like Slack, Linear, Perplexity And in addition to enterprises & creators, we’re proud to now work with 2M+ developers, that are also building the future of voice.

My co-founder Piotr and I have been best friends since high school. He was always the brightest person in the room and we all expected he would go on to do great things. Last week @dabkowski_piotr was recognized in TIME's 100 leaders in AI list, for his incredible research work across audio AI: time.com/7012732/piotr-dabko… I am lucky to work with him every day. A pic from the early days of ElevenLabs!

Today, we’re proud to partner with Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation - leading on AI adoption across governments - to bring voice to core services - A digital twin of Minister Fedorov (spoken Q&A) - Voice in Diia (app + portal) - Voice for education tools & assistants

August Research & Product Roundup at ElevenLabs - not a quiet summer! Proud of our research team for once again pushing the frontier and the product team for the continuous incredible pace. Eleven Music is live. First high-quality, fully licensed model built for broad commercial use. After shipping natural Text to Speech in 2022, launching Eleven v3 (first controllable TTS model), and releasing Eleven Scribe, our Speech to Text model that is able to outperform those from OpenAI/Google, it’s amazing to see our team ship something this strong again. With simple prompts you can create original music - film score, game cue, or a background soundscape in a conversational app. And, of course, it’s available via API too. We can’t wait to see what people build. Research is just our foundation. Where we spend most of our time is expanding our platform offerings further: for building fast and reliable conversational agents or creating immersive and beautiful narrations or voiceovers. Recent updates below. Conversational AI // Agents platform - IVR navigation: let agents follow existing IVR logic - SDKs: React Native and Kotlin for easier developer building - Chat mode: we now support text-only agents too - Orchestration and reliability improvements across all agents Creative platform - APIs: Eleven v3 and Eleven Music available - Video-to-Music in Studio: automatically add a music track to a video - The platform is now localized to French, Hindi, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish

With the legends. Congrats @klarnaseb and @Klarna team!

The ElevenLabs product teams picked up speed in May - delivering one of our biggest waves of launches yet. Shipped: - Conversational AI 2.0 - our platform for building AI voice agents now includes: SOTA turn-taking model, language detection, multi-character support, voice & text modalities, integrated RAG, Twilio SIP trunking, human handoff, and more! - Voice Library branding update - exploring and saving voices and collections is now so much easier. The Library is now at over 5,000 professional voices contributed by users across 20+ languages (with $5M+ paid back to community). - Studio - our solution for longer narrations and voiceovers now features enhanced Sound Effects integration, improved pronunciation dictionaries and easier use of Actor Mode. - SB-1 Infinite Soundboard - a prototype to bring infinite sounds to creators, powered by our Text-to-SFX model - Workspace Support - available for Scale & Business plans, making it simpler to invite collaborators and work as a team. - ElevenReader - now accessible through a full web experience and increased with exclusive content - Across Products: EU data residency, VPC support, a set of cleaner analytics & improved designs (sample images below). And there’s so much more coming in June - from powerful new integrations and extensions for Conversational AI, timeline support in Studio, voice control, and a couple of completely new products!

It’s 11/11 - the day we launched our very first Beta and now, the start of a week where each day we will bring a new set of innovations to further our mission of accessible content & communication with audio AI. Exactly 2 years ago, our first users joined the platform to create audio experiences using the first @elevenlabs model. Our goal, as captured by the image of our initial site, was simple - help others transform their work into great quality audio. Fast-forward to today, we are immensely proud to have built an entire AI audio product ecosystem, with an incredible user community consisting of millions of individuals and thousands of leading companies. 

However, we realize how much is still left to build - on both research and product front.  And this week we’ll introduce the tools and features that have kept us busy over the last few weeks. You’ll see an enhanced narration product, a brand new way of deploying AI voice agents, fresh collaboration capabilities, and a unique medium for creating and consuming long-form content.

I will be going on @TBPN around 16:50ET today to talk about ElevenLabs Tender, $6.6B valuation & growth to $200M in ARR - join in! Excited!

ElevenLabs October Product Update October was a big month for Agents Platform. We launched Agent Workflows in Alpha - giving a new level of control for how agents should act with a visual editor that lets you design entire conversation flows, route to subagents, and hand off to human operators, making it easier to build and scale. Beyond that, we rolled out a wave of other updates: Agent Server Tools, Security & Authentication, React SDK, Client Tools, and Success Evaluation - making it easier to connect your agents to real systems, monitor performance, and automate securely. On the Creative Platform side, our Studio is now easier to start to create a perfect narration or voiceover while Voice Isolator now supports video - you can upload any file and automatically remove background noise with the output kept in the same format. Based on a lot of our own UI elements, we also released a library of open-source components for chat interfaces, transcription, and music. Built on shadcn/ui, it’s fully customizable and MIT-licensed for anyone building audio and voice agents. On the global front, we made it easier for individuals with permanent voice loss to apply for free voices through our Impact Program - no codes or payment details needed - clinicians and nonprofits can now apply directly with easier access. And we’re one month out from the first ElevenLabs Summit - on 11/11 in San Francisco - where we will talk about a lot of our product updates too! A full day of demos, research, and talks from the people building with voice AI at the frontier, and our amazing speakers!

The @elevenlabs team was busy in October: • Deployed a first of its kind Voice Design model that creates unique voices from a prompt • Major reliability upgrades to TTS API and reductions in accent switching. For global users, expanding our servers to Europe and Asia • Teams and companies can get in depth usage analytics across their team, products, API keys, and voices • Authors and publishers can now share audiobooks directly from our site to audiences worldwide on the ElevenReader • Alpha version of Conversational AI (deploy e2e AI voice agents) & refreshed Projects (long-form narration)

We’re a month out from our first-ever Summit on 11/11. The legend @pmarca - who’s backed, built, and championed builders through every wave - is joining us to talk about what’s next for AI agents & voice!

We are hosting our first ever ElevenLabs Summit in San Francisco. Of course, on 11/11. Incredible lineup, conversations and real demonstrations of how voice is bringing technology to life.

Free ElevenLabs access for 12 months with lots of minutes for building and deploying voice agents, high concurrency limits & so much more.

Today’s Text to Sound Effects launch marks a small but crucial step towards general audio AI and our goal of helping creatives make accessible, engaging content in any language, voice, and now sound. @flavioschneider @almost_digital Tim @dabkowski_piotr - amazing work once again!

At ElevenLabs, we’ve kept our products open through APIs from the start, knowing so many voice use-cases are still to be imagined and built. This week we shipped two major ones, with one landing today: Eleven v3 (alpha) API + Music API.

We’re opening ElevenLabs Japan! From the start, our purpose was to build AI audio for the world - tech that works in any language, for any voice, globally. That’s shaped everything: how we train our models to generalize across languages; how we build our products, like Voice Library so people anywhere with different accents and styles, can share their unique voices and earn from it, and finally how we grow our teams and deployments around the world. We have always seen ElevenLabs as a global company - with teams of all backgrounds. We are excited to have offices in London, New York, Warsaw - and as of today - Japan. Personally, I’ve always been inspired by Japan’s ability to mix deep tradition with innovative technology - in design, film, or just daily life. It’s a balance that feels grounded and forward-thinking at the same time. With our work we’re trying to do the same - build for what’s next, while staying mindful of where it all started. I’ll be in Japan a few times in the coming months - if you’re around, let me know!

Grateful to join the Klarna board and work with @klarnaseb. Klarna’s built one of the boldest fintechs around - a global brand born in Europe. Excited to help shape the future of AI financial assistants together!

What’s the dress code for meeting with government? I usually skip the suit and stick with my easy jacket - but when it’s with leaders focused on building a thriving AI ecosystem, I’m in. Thank you @Keir_Starmer and @PeterKyle for the great conversation and forward push.

Finally found a great use-case for one of our favourite domains 11.ai: build your personal AI voice agent.

As new amazing partners invest in ElevenLabs, we also invest in supporting incredible builders - launching our first Demo Day Split into 2 stages with the grand finale at the ElevenLabs Summit. Winners get cash, platform access, and a Times Square moment (we’re giving in, too…)

Thanks for the shoutout, legend!

Conversational AI is here! Build AI voice agent with: - Seamless low-latency orchestration with almost any LLM - Voices in 30+ languages, accents and styles - Your own knowledge base pr functions and lots more!

We’re opening ElevenLabs Brazil! 🇧🇷 From day one, our mission has been to build AI audio for the world - technology that works in any language, for any voice, globally. That vision guides everything we do: how we train our models, source voices across as many dialects, localize product experience and have the team on the ground to work closer and deeper with partners and customers in the region. Even before we had a presence on the ground, Brazil was already among our top 10 markets for usage, top 3 for website visits, and top 5 for subscribers - with so many incredible usecases started from the region. And with that ElevenLabs hubs keep growing: San Francisco, London, New York, Warsaw, Tokyo - and as of today, São Paulo.

Richard Feynman has been a hero to me and to many of us at ElevenLabs. For those unfamiliar, Feynman was a Nobel-winning physicist, celebrated both for his breakthroughs in quantum mechanics and for his ability to make complex ideas accessible. His infectious enthusiasm and curiosity have shaped how we think about science, learning, and even the tools we build. Adding his voice to our Iconic Voices collection feels especially significant, and I’m grateful we could work with his family to bring his teaching spirit to life through @elevenreader. It’s humbling to have the support of Richard Feynman’s daughter, Michelle, as we aim to make his insights accessible to a new generation. ElevenReader turns written content - books, articles, and documents - into spoken word, now featuring the voice of one of science’s greatest communicators. Feynman was celebrated for his gift of making difficult concepts understandable. Our work at ElevenLabs aims to complement this vision by making information more accessible. But turning information into understanding often requires a gifted teacher. Many would say, “Feynman was the best teacher you’ve never had.” Now, with technology, that’s starting to change. In the ElevenReader app, you can listen to a selected collection of popular works by Richard Feynman, as part of “Science Explained” collection, alongside other books and articles, brought to life with his reimagined voice. We hope this opportunity inspires a new generation, sparking the same desire for curiosity, clarity, and simplicity he instilled in us.

Mamy nadzieje, niebawem! Zalezy nam na tym zeby Polska & administracja tez byla z przodu innowacji z AI.

In SF this week for HubSpot Inbound. Love the city’s energy and the incredible people - who are the builders & founders I should meet while I’m there?

A big day today: we teamed up with Epic Games to bring Darth Vader’s voice to Fortnite. Millions of players can now speak with Vader in real time. Live voice interactions like this will become the new standard in gaming.

Alright, alright, alright. Matthew McConaughey joins ElevenLabs as both an investor and a user. He’s a defining voice of our generation, someone who lives and breathes storytelling and someone we get to learn from as we refine how to bring our technology to the world. Matthew’s work on- and off-screen has been inspiring. Recently, he launched his first newsletter, Lyrics of Livin'. Now he’s using ElevenLabs to bring it to Spanish-speaking audiences in his own voice - intonation, inflection, the whole thing - something that simply wasn't possible before. Surreal to work with Matthew - you can probably tell I’m a bit starstruck in the photo below.

A great recent use-case: our AI SDR now picks up inbound leads right after the form, speeding up qualification and actually improving the experience. Many prospects prefer speaking with it over what they’d put in a form - they share more freely and more expansively. CSAT: 8.7.

Our 2025 ambition: enable builders everywhere to create voice‑AI agents that easily pass the Turing Test - where every conversation feels real and emotionally alive.

July Product Update at @elevenlabs. We spent July improving reliability and strengthening the Conversational AI platform and its ecosystem, while keeping most of our focus on laying the groundwork for some of our biggest releases coming later in August and September. Conversational AI & agents, shipped: - WebRTC: better echo cancellation and noise removal for AI agents - CLI: define and deploy conversational agents as code with version-controlled config files - Swift SDK + Voice Starter Kit: add Conversational AI to visionIS, macOS, and iOS apps in minutes - Data Residency: now available in India, alongside EU and US residency options - The product-marketing page finally got a design refresh to better show the full range of features in our conversational agents platform (video below)! The first of several big updates drops tomorrow, with more to follow in the weeks ahead!

Thrilled to see ElevenLabs on the 2025 Enterprise Tech 30 for the third consecutive year! From early-stage recognition in 2023 to mid-stage in 2024, and now in the late-stage, we're proud of our growth, team's relentless drive, and our continually expanding enterprise solutions!

Now live - one place for everything creative audio: Studio 3.0. Studio re-launch now comes with music, SFX, cleanup, captions, speech correction, timeline, and video support. No more shuffling between tools.

Podcasters & creators today have truly global audiences. Making content accessible everywhere will be the standard. Thankfully, it’s becoming simpler to bring their work to delightful omnilingual experiences - and something we're making easier every day.

Live demos are the best way. Congrats to Meta team on last week’s launches - a few hiccups, yet still full of energy. So much more powerful than a polished launch video. And just got to try the devices - a great glimpse into the future. A future that will be powered by voice.

The engineering team has been heads down since the start of the year at @elevenlabs with the immediate product push! A few highlights from January: Conversational AI - create AI voice agents: - Dashboard with all your agents and metrics - Dynamic variables and new tools (e.g. setup when agent ends the call) - Agent language selection - Widget terms, limits, privacy and so much more Studio (previously “Projects”) - narrate and edit long-form content: - Word highlights and breaks - New player experience and soon convert flow - Now available to everyone on every tier! API - access best audio models: - New revamped docs - Our AI voice agent widget to allow you to interact with docs and ask question - now solving 80% of user queries Coming up: - @elevenreader major new release! - Voices exploration and creation getting upgrade across - Expanding our audio modalities Let us know what you'd like us to ship in February!

Over the last year, we couldn't be more proud to play a small part in helping people around the world regain their voices. We are honored to partner with Bridging Voice and The Scott-Morgan Foundation to formalize this initiative and open the program to anyone who needs it.

This weekend thousands of developers are participating in the ElevenLabs Hackathon, around the world. Grateful for the patronage and participation of the Mayor of Warsaw at the Warsaw edition of the event - the city both Piotr & I grew up in and love!

Roundup of @elevenlabs September product updates - we’re continuing to evolve functionality and ease of use across both our Agents and Creative platform. And personally so excited to ship a number of our branding updates soon, too! Agents Platform - Shipped Tests for Agents for structured simulations of tools, guardrails, handoffs, and knowledge checks in CI/CD - Cut RAG rewrite p50 from 326 ms to 155 ms for lower always-on retrieval overhead, using model racing with a 1s fallback - Released Agents Academy for a guided path from first agent to production - We partnered with Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation to bring voice to public services: a voice-enabled digital twin of Minister Fedorov, voice access in Diia, education voiceovers, and internal assistants - as part of it already expanding our platform to cater to even more sensitive and high scale use-cases Creative Platform - Studio 3.0 got a massive update enabling end-to-end editing in one timeline: voiceovers, Music, SFX, isolation, changer, captions, speech correction, and multiplayer comments - We introduced Productions for ordering human-edited dubbing, captions, transcripts, and audiobooks directly in ElevenLabs - Launched Voice Remixing (alpha) for reimagining your own or designed voices. - SFX v2 supports higher quality, seamless looping, 30s duration, 48 kHz, an expanded library, and Studio integration A sneak peek of our webpage with all of it below - coming soon (thanks, @NevFlynn !)

What makes a voice truly iconic? Hear how Sir Michael Caine’s AI voice - now in partnership with ElevenLabs - would describe it.

November Product Recap at @elevenlabs The year’s end is a busy time. Our entire team is relentless in their push to wrap 2024 up with some of our most impactful releases to date!

We’re just a month out from the first ElevenLabs Summit - 11/11 in San Francisco. Kicking off with our first 2 speakers - incredible founders & executives: - @drogier, founder of MasterClass, who opened up a whole new category in education and keeps pushing forward with AI - @adamtevans, a serial founder now leading AI at Salesforce & Agentforce, bringing the same builder energy to help Salesforce lead in this new era The Summit will bring some of our biggest releases yet together with a full day of live demos, research, and product updates - all shown by the people building with voice AI at the frontier.

Education holds one of the greatest potentials for positive transformation with AI. Earlier this week, @elevenlabs joined the opening of the White House AI in Education Task Force, led by @FLOTUS, to explore practical ways AI can support learning and access today. There is a lot that can be done - just in voice: - Voice agents that can act as tutors and adapt to each student - available anytime, across languages, and with clear guardrails - Audio tools that help teachers up-skill, train and continuously get feedback - All content available in audio by default From the start of ElevenLabs we support educators, nonprofits and partners with free access - just DM me if we can help.

The best chess players in the world can now be your AI personal coaches with their unique voices, commentary & energy. Love our partnership with @chesscom - shaping the future of education and, as a user, it hits close to home.

Steve Jobs never got to experience conversational AI. But he once said something that, as usual, was ahead of his time. Alexander the Great had Aristotle as a tutor. The rest of us could only read his works - there was never an opportunity to truly engage with him or ask him questions. For centuries, his wisdom remained static. Jobs considered this a loss, and he was right. But now, thanks to breakthroughs in LLMs and voice AI, we can change that and build a truly interactive experience by combining ancient wisdom with today’s technology. We can finally ask Aristotle a question - and get an answer.

Amazing to partner with Harvey to bring voice to the legal space, globally. Every minute saved or made more enjoyable when working on contracts is happy time 🙂

Side mission: take an Oscar-winning film global, with dubbing that truly does justice to the original.

One of our key principles is: show, don’t tell - especially when it comes to new research work where users need to be able to easily test the models and hear for themselves how authentic the voices sound.

London! Next week we are hosting a breakfast with Just Eat & Kraken on how conversational agents can transform customer experience. We need to more in AI London scene. Join us if you are curious about or building in the space!

Melania Trump has released a first-of-its-kind, AI-narrated audiobook. It’s out in English, with more languages on the way - all preserving her signature voice, emotions and delivery. Thrilled to power it with @elevenlabs and bring it to life on @elevenreader.

I’ve rarely felt a conversation land this close to heart. Tim is a former NFL player, bestselling author, and celebrated broadcaster. Since his ALS diagnosis, he’s continued doing amazing work using Voice AI. We just recorded a podcast together and had an amazing discussion.

Eight seconds on a worn VHS brought back a voice a family hadn’t heard in 25 years. Just humbled to see Sarah Ezekiel speak again after losing her voice to MND - and to witness the joy it’s brought her and her loved ones. Technology at its most beautiful.

It’s been an extraordinary three years since @dabkowski_piotr & I founded ElevenLabs - a journey powered by our team and community, and one that has exceeded even our own (very!) high expectations. Earlier this year, we surpassed $200 million in ARR and we expect to top $300M by year end. We’re also rapidly approaching a 50/50 revenue split between our enterprise and self-serve customers, with enterprise revenue having grown more than 200% in the last year. Our success is made possible by the brilliance, creativity, and commitment of the best team in the business. We feel it’s extremely important to give our people the chance to realize some of the value they’ve created and earned today. We’re building for the long term with the aim of creating a generational company. Continuous liquidity opportunities will help our whole team align on that goal. It’s incredible to see the continuous trust in us from @sequoia and @ICONIQCapital, leading the tender, alongside the heavy participation of @a16z, Smash Capital, World Innovation Labs & a number of other insiders

MCP + Conversational AI → creating integrations for AI agents is now even easier.

We still don’t know exactly how human consciousness evolved - and whether it could emerge in AI is just as fascinating. You can now talk with Charles Darwin about it: +1 (410) 6DARWIN.

Wprowadzamy dziś legendarny głos Piotra Fronczewskiego do wszystkich książek w aplikacji ElevenReader. To sposób na kontynuację jego niezwykłego dziedzictwa – z pomocą naszej technologii. Jesteśmy niezwykle dumni z naszej współpracy z Piotrem. Dla wielu z nas, niezależnie od pokolenia, jego głos i aktorstwo od lat tworzą magię – na ekranie i poza nim. Dorastałem słuchając jego narracji książek o Harrym Potterze i to niesamowite uczucie móc się teraz zanurzyć się w tak wielu innych historiach - obecnych i przyszłych - opowiedzianych właśnie jego głosem. Głos AI Piotra dołącza do kolekcji Iconic Voices, obok takich legend jak Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra czy Richard Feynman. Z okazji premiery, dzięki współpracy z Wolnymi Lekturami, tysiące klasycznych dzieł po polsku są już dostępne w ElevenReaderze. Każda z tych książek może teraz zabrzmieć głosem Piotra – tchnąc nowe życie w klasykę literatury. Jesteśmy zaszczyceni zaufaniem Piotra i dołożymy wszelkich starań, by nasza praca dorównała niezwykłym standardom, jakie wyznaczyło jego dziedzictwo.

We travelled to Kyiv this week to deepen our partnership with the Government of Ukraine - and signed a memorandum of understanding with Minister @FedorovMykhailo to take AI public services from concept to production. But the visit was about much more than that. It was a chance to see, up close, how a country at war keeps building - with purpose, clarity, and an engineering-first mindset focused on outcomes. We arrived through Lviv, drove to Kyiv, and spent two full days in meetings with ministries - Health, Education, Economy, and Foreign Affairs - guided by the Ministry of Digital Transformation. Each had its own priorities, but a common thread ran through them all - a deep belief that technology should work quietly in service of people. Ukraine is leading on that innovation front - creating the first agentic government, where AI agents can work on citizens’ behalf across ministries, connecting the national and individual levels. At the Ministry of Education, teams were exploring agents to help students practise reading and writing or make learning materials more accessible through dubbing and translation. They’re also launching Mriia - an app for personalised AI tutors that adapt to each learner’s knowledge and pace, making education more accessible to anyone, anywhere. At the Ministry of Economy, we discussed integrating AI agents into the Obriy platform to support businesses and gather feedback from citizens. In healthcare, there was interest in using speech technology to ease administration, support appointment scheduling, and make information and care more accessible across the population. All of these efforts are part of Ukraine’s plan, led by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, to make the country a leader in applying AI to public services by 2030. The Ministry has already taken a first step with Diia AI - the world’s first public-service agent app and portal and we are proud to support the ambition of making all public services available through voice agents. This model of governance - putting engineering at the heart of decision-making - feels both natural and necessary. Each ministry has its own technical team, and they build fast. It’s a structure I find inspiring, and in many ways familiar. At ElevenLabs, at a much smaller scale, we do something similar by embedding engineers directly across functions, including legal and operations. It’s how ideas turn into things that work. We ended the first day with dinner alongside the AI team from the Ministry of Digital Transformation. Between air raid alerts and rounds of conversation, what stood out was focus. The mix of humour, kindness, and drive - paired with a quiet sense of shared identity and determination - is something I won’t forget. People who live with difficulty every day have kept their heads up and their hands busy. That combination - of calm and action - might be Ukraine’s greatest strength. The memorandum we signed marks the beginning of a shared effort to bring AI from concept to production inside government. Our Forward Deployed Engineers are still in Kyiv, working side by side with Ukrainian teams to turn these ideas into working systems. The big bottleneck in AI adoption has never been discovery but deployment, and Ukraine is leading the way in making AI work for their people. For me, this trip also carried a personal meaning. As a Pole, I remember the first days of the war, when millions fled west. Many of us opened our doors. This visit felt like a continuation of that closeness - not of shelter, but of partnership. My thanks to Oswin, Borja, and Pieris for making this journey what it was. But most of all, thank you to our partners - Mykhailo Fedorov, Oleksandr Bornyakov, Valeriya Ionan, Danylo Tsvok, Dmytro Ovcharenko, and Nelli Blinova -  for their hospitality, openness, and action through those days. Ukraine’s resolve, humanity, and pace of work are a reminder that innovation is not a luxury of peace but the quiet work of moving forward.

We dogfood everything we build at ElevenLabs. Earlier this year we launched a voice agent to let users interact with our documentation - and over the past month, with quick growth, Conversational AI (now revamped as the Agents Platform) became the #1 query topic!

A set of incredible AI tools, along with amazing partners, now free for students. Even if not for the AI - the website in itself is worth checking out - a slightly different experience!

We tend to learn most from builders using ElevenLabs tech and showing back what’s possible. That’s true for most technologies - keep them open and users will pave the way. In the early days we opened our APIs and had the pleasure of witnessing unexpected work. Today it’s the same with Agents Platform. I just watched incredible startups pitch during our virtual Demo Day before we head to SF for the Summit for the final. The few that especially stood out and are moving on from hundreds of submissions: - Nowadays AI - end-to-end event booking agent, taking on all the tricky parts of calling venues, confirming details, following up and negotiating discounts - especially in markets where so much still happens over the phone. - Mirlo AI - building an AI telco. Beyond automating call receiving and outbound, they actually launched a paid mobile plan to move quicker. Optimised for LATAM. - Insight Health - virtual care assistant across the full patient flow. Already with impressive traction - and the mix of domain expertise and technical execution really stood out - Bonus: Sparrow - a smarter way to survey users by calling the ones that opted in and aggregating all info in one place Congrats to all of you - we’re excited to keep learning from what you build next.

It was a privilege to speak at the Deutsche Telekom Town Hall this week alongside CEO Tim Höttges and CHRO Birgit Bohle, following our partnership announcement at MWC. Advancing AI audio research is essential, but equally important is translating that progress into meaningful everyday experiences and applications. @deutschetelekom is an ideal partner to bring this innovation to the world, initially with Magenta AI, which enables customers to engage with content through immersive podcasts with @elevenlabs. I look forward how we can extend that innovation across areas of customer care, as AI voices become increasingly key to how we interact with technology.

When 2 voice agents talk in the wild - will they develop their own language? Some of the most interesting ideas we’ve seen come from individual builders - often trying things no one else has thought of yet. You might remember Gibberlink winning our hackathon a few months back!

Always great to see voice agents delivering real results - a recent example is AI interviews with @Traba_Work now live in production. So far: - 50k+ interviews per month - 85% vetting automated (on track for 100% by EOY) - 4k+ hours saved + 15% more accurate matching

Spotted our t-shirt in the wild at the International Olympiad in AI! We’re happy to support IOAI - many of us started in competitive programming, IOI, other olympiads & builder communities - that spirit shapes how we work today. If that sounds like your kind of team - join us!

Our work is just getting started. Voice is the future interface and we are building to ensure that ElevenLabs continues to be the voice of technology. Read more: elevenlabs.io/blog/announcin…

Real-time performance is everything for conversational agents - and we’ve just made them faster with RAG related improvements. What slowed things down was query rewriting - turning messages into self-contained questions. With redesign, we cut median latency in half: 326 → 155 ms
