Meet 11ai by ElevenLabs: Your Voice Assistant Just Got Seriously Productive

What if your voice assistant was not just providing you the weather or reminding you but effectively managed your workflow, integrated with your go-to productivity tools, and carried out your daily business tasks efficiently? That's what ElevenLabs, a pioneer of voice-based AI, aims to accomplish with its new voice assistant, 11ai.

What does ElevenLabs do and what's their flagship product?

ElevenLabs is a leading AI company that specializes in voice interaction technology. They develop high-end voice synthesis and interaction platforms, which are renowned for high-realism and AI voices that can be customized. Their proprietary technology gives customers the power to clone their voices or choose among a spectrum of AI-based voices and experience natural and interactive digital communications.

ElevenLabs just launched 11ai, a high-end AI-powered voice assistant designed for seamless incorporation into digital workflow tools and, in effect, rewriting the interaction between voice and productivity for good.

What makes 11ai special: Revolutionizing productivity with voice

Most standard voice assistants struggle with high-level, productive activity. You can have no problem getting them to answer brief questions or initiate simple reminders but usually stumble when performing subtle or multi-step actions. 11ai directly rectifies that limitation, advancing beyond the scope of response-based conversations to taking actionable activity away from your plate. Through the use of voice-based commands directly, 11ai can become part of your workflow and actually perform tasks within a variety of productivity applications.

How Does 11ai Work?

The alpha version of 11ai impresses with astounding capabilities using its web interface ( 11. ai/app/eleven ). Here, the following commands can be invoked:

• "Schedule my day and place my high-priority tasks into Linear."
• "Utilize Perplexity to gather insights on the client meeting today and summarize the most recent funding rounds."

Astoundingly, 11ai understands the environment across different integrated tools and executes successive actions seamlessly. When, for example, getting ready for a client meeting, 11ai can easily navigate associated platforms, aggregate relevant information, and align CRM programs or alert team members as needed.

Primary Features and Integrations of 11ai 

11ai employs a standardized integration process via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can therefore easily connect with the most-used business applications like Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Zapier, and others. ElevenLabs offers out-of-the-box integrations with the following upon launch:

Perplexity: Summarization of information and AI-a

Linear: Task and Product Management

Slack: Team Communication

Google Calendar: Scheduling and reminders

HackerNews: Latest updates and news

ElevenLabs strives to expand the list through continual weekly updates, rapidly broadening the capability of the assistant. Besides, firms can construct personal MCP servers, integrating proprietary programs or corporate tools directly into 11ai and customize the tool's functionality further.

Versatility and Multilingual Ability

Built on ElevenLabs’ powerful v3 AI platform, the 11ai supports 70 languages and offers the user up to 5,000 voices. It is distinct for the voice cloning feature, which makes it possible to create personalized voice clones for higher interaction realism and personalization.

The platform also boasts the latest functionality such as real-time low-latency interaction, multimodal text and voice communication, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, which enables it to communicate directly with external databases and knowledge repositories.

Availability and Prospects for the Future

Currently, 11ai is a free experimental alpha release. ElevenLabs is currently soliciting feedback on integration requirements, MCP server preferences, and the suitability of the voice interface compared with standard interfaces. ElevenLabs will charge a subscription fee in the future, but the pricing and schedules are still yet to be announced. 

Conclusion: A Daring Step Forward for Voice Innovation

ElevenLabs' 11ai is a historic foray into the application of voice-controlled AI in the real world, seamlessly becoming a part of digital work-flows. Businesses, developers, and content-creators will have immense use for its customizible integrations and task-executing capability.

Now that voice assistants graduate from mere talk interfaces to truly actionable digital agents, 11ai sets the bar high, potentially redesigning the day-to-day operation of businesses. Look for 11ai to evolve from a promising alpha build into a mainstream productivity tool and redesign workplace productivity on the power of voice-centric technology.
