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

The Voice Marketplace is taking off! Voice creators earned more in Q1 2026 than all of 2024 combined. 10k+ people from all over the world have contributed their voices in 32 languages - and this is growing fast.

Introducing Speech Engine. Developers can now turn their existing chat agent into a full voice agent with one prompt. Speech Engine combines our leading speech, transcription, and voice orchestration models into a single pipeline - all custom built to work best together.

Albert Einstein + ElevenLabs. AI agents can make education more accessible - a teacher for every student in every field. A classroom size of one learning from icons who shaped the world Today with his estate, we’re bringing Albert Einstein to ElevenLabs

Poland is exploring powerful new ways to bring voice agents into public services. This summer, the government is rolling out a voice agent for the national healthcare system (Centralna e-Rejestracja) - proudly powered by @ElevenLabs and supported by NFZ. The agent calls patients who only have a landline, reminds them about upcoming appointments, and helps them reschedule if needed. With 40 million appointments a year and 10-20% no-show rates, this can significantly improve access to healthcare for people across Poland.

Grateful for many substantive conversations in Poznań. I met Polish business leaders at @ImpactCEE, had a great exchange on AI with @mati of @ElevenLabs, & reconnected with @JustinTrudeau. My visit ended with a tour of a @VW plant - to see how innovation is reshaping transport.

@KGeorgieva @ImpactCEE @ElevenLabs @JustinTrudeau @VW It was a pleasure meeting & learning from you!

So great to finally properly meet and speak with @RBrzoska - one of Poland’s great builders & an inspiration to me and many!

@aakrit A pleasure to have you support through the years and now officially partner together!!

Voice AI is going to be the defining AI opportunity for India. At Activate, our mission is to not simply invest in Indian startups, but to help build the ecosystem around them. This means connecting global AI leaders with the country's best builders. That’s why I'm excited to deepen our relationship with @ElevenLabs, the world’s leading voice AI platform. Activate has joined the company's latest Series D financing as a strategic investor and local VC partner. I first met @mati over a year back and was amazed by his passion for India as a voice first country. This partnership is more than just capital. It's about creating bridges between global frontier AI companies and India’s early-stage AI ecosystem, helping founders here access the right networks as voice becomes a core interface for them. @177pc & I look forward to working with @Carles_Reina Karthik and the entire ElevenLabs leadership team to activate voice AI in India :)

After almost 4 years of (over)thinking it, we’re launching Pay As You Go for our APIs - with a lower starting price, making it easier than ever for developers to build.

Excited to be invited to speak at @StanfordGSB tomorrow, almost five years since I graduated from here. I'll be chatting with students about my journey since GSB, what led me to @ElevenLabs, what it's like working in AI right now, and what it takes to thrive when AI tools, foundation models, and what it means to build are shifting so much every day.

@ElevenLabs is officially expanding to Australia & New Zealand! Today, we have 750k users+ in the region with enterprises like Xero, Employment Hero, and Heidi Health. Excited to double down on bringing our technology to a new corner of the world and launch our presence in 🇦🇺🇳🇿!

Amazing to speak with Andrew at AI Ascent! Andrew has been a partner and sounding board to me and the ElevenLabs team for three years - first unofficially, and now as a very welcome member of our board! Lots to build together - and we covered some of it in the conversation!

Agents in operations - and we’re happy to partner on the voice side! Next up: enabling smooth agent-to-agent interactions in voice too (with new protocols).

@Bouazizalex Congrats on the launch!!

For years, we hit the same wall everyone else did. You automate a few steps. Then complexity wins. And your best people are back to doing work that should run itself. That's what we set out to fix - not for our customers first, but for ourselves. I'm proud to introduce Akai by Deel. Akai is an interconnected system of agents that learns your workflows, automates every step, and gets smarter with every run - auditably, on any system. Today, 100% of Deel's operations teams, across Finance, Tax, Treasury, Benefits, and HR, run on Akai. The results stopped us in our tracks: → 100,000+ cases handled automatically every month → 8,000+ hours of payment processing - now background tasks → Reconciliation that took 20+ days - now done in minutes → 100% automation in areas we couldn't reach after years of coding → 91,000+ manual hours saved every single month Now, every team is now building agents themselves. No developers. No IT tickets. Just the people who know the work, running it. That's the ceiling we broke. Now we're opening it up. With built-in voice, transactions across any payment method, and the ability to process and analyse any document or dataset - out of the box. Your first agents could be running by tomorrow! Get early access at akai.run

Introducing new modalities for ElevenAgents Your customers don't just talk or type. They send photos, files, voice notes, and locations, and reach out across channels. Now your agents handle all of it.

@jlesaicherre Spot on :)

0.1% done. PS: we are hiring.

@geoffreywoo @Antifund @LoganPaul @jakepaul @ElevenLabs So excited to partner with Logan, Jake & Antifund!

happy that @antifund @LoganPaul @jakepaul was able to back @matiii @ElevenLabs alongside some cool investors in this Series D tranche

@bhalligan @andrew__reed @ElevenLabs Brian! Thank you!!

@matiii @andrew__reed @ElevenLabs Well done, my friend!

We just crossed $500M ARR and welcomed new investors to @ElevenLabs: BlackRock, Wellington, Nvidia, Santander, Jamie Foxx, Eva Longoria and more. Natural, human-like communication will be critical to broad AI adoption - and these new investors help us accelerate that work.

@bygregorr @ElevenLabs Both are critical! Human-link in many of those cases defines the utility (vs. just feel).

@matiii @ElevenLabs I'm not sure human-like is the actual unlock for adoption. Smartphones won on utility not feel. Is voice naturalness actually the bottleneck, or is trust and privacy still the bigger wall?
