Voice AI can be a powerful tool for democracy. With major elections coming up, our latest blog sets out how we’re using our technology to strengthen and protect the democratic process.

The first AI service of Obrii, Ukraine's new digital labour market ecosystem, is now live. Together with @ElevenLabs, we launched AI voice assistant for the State Employment Service – bringing public services closer to people, 24/7, even during air raid alerts.

Hospitality platform @SevenRooms (a @DoorDash company) is using ElevenAgents to power instant phone answering across its restaurant partners. SevenRooms Voice AI has now handled more than 400,000 calls, helping restaurants capture up to 25% more reservations.

June was a big month at ElevenLabs. We hosted our biggest Summit yet with 2,500 leaders in Warsaw, signed partnerships with four governments, crossed $500M ARR, welcomed an incredible new set of investors, and kept shipping across our models and products. All powered by the momentum of shipping, and by our customers building the future - all pushing in one direction: changing how the world communicates with AI. Here are some of the highlights. Research: - Dubbing v2 - carrying over the emotion, performance, and intent of the original content, and solving the problem of flat, disconnected dubbing. - Music v2 - with better vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, and language support across genres. For teams building customer experiences: - Procedures - packaged sets of instructions that define how agents operate in common scenarios, just like employees follow SOPs. - New modalities - so agents can process images, files, audio notes, contacts, and location pins in customer conversations. - Speech Engine - so developers can turn an existing chat agent into a full voice agent with just one prompt. For marketers and creators: - Ads Engine - automatically localising ads across 50+ languages and pushing new creative back into ad platforms. - Avatars - creating talking-head videos from a script, voice, and photo. - Flows Agent - letting teams build entire creative workflows through natural language in our node-based canvas. In our ecosystem: - Added more watermarking techniques for future authenticity of content - Crossed $22M paid out to people who have added their voices to the Voice Library. Looking ahead to Q3, we have some of our most exciting work coming out!

Introducing Tools on ElevenMusic, purpose-built ways to create, reshape, and evolve your music. With Voice to Song, record yourself singing and get a faithful, studio-quality version back.

As our models improve, identifying AI-generated audio requires more than the human ear. We're partnering with @GoogleDeepMind to embed SynthID - an inaudible digital watermark - directly into ElevenLabs-generated audio. These watermarks will be detectable using our new free ElevenLabs Audio Detector.

Before you see the film, hear the original epic. Today, we’re releasing The Odyssey: an audiobook narrated by the voice of Sir Michael Caine, with original music and cinematic sound design.

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.
