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.
We’ve cut ElevenAPI and ElevenAgents pricing for self-serve developers. From today, prices are lower and you can pay as you go: - Text to Speech is now up to 55% lower cost - Speech to Text is now up to 45% lower cost - Agents is now up to 20% lower cost Performance, quality, and support remain unchanged.
AI Ascent でAndrew と話せて光栄です! Andrew は3年間、ElevenLabsチームと私のパートナーであり相談役でした。最初は非公式でしたが、今は私たちのボードの大歓迎のメンバーとなっています! 一緒に構築することがたくさんあります。会話の中でもいくつかカバーしました!

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!
Yesterday @ElevenLabs announced they'd crossed >$500M ARR. Here's my interview with @matiii from @sequoia AI Ascent a few weeks ago. Mati is a founder who really inspires me. He shares stories about ElevenLabs' history (🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱), the current AI landscape, and his vision for voice and agents (and robots) in the future. 00:00 Introduction 00:49 Poland Dubbing Problem 02:10 Why Audio? 03:52 Monetizing Early 05:17 Building the Audio Stack 07:15 Mati's Wow Moments 10:14 Voice Agents Beyond Support 14:26 Operating an AI Leader at Scale 17:43 Audience Q&A - Future of Voice 24:12 Closing

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).
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!

4月も、AI を使ってオーディエンスとのコミュニケーション方法を変革しているすべてのビジネスのために出荷を続けました。営業、サポート、ストーリーテリングの各分野で。 これらのローンチ全体での2つの共通テーマと目標：@ElevenLabs エコシステムを始めやすくし、その恩恵を受けやすくすること、そして顧客が直面している展開上の制約に対処するものを構築することです。下記は月間の主要な製品出荷の簡単なまとめです。 ElevenAgents（カスタマーエクスペリエンス向け）： - Agent Templates：会話型エージェント用のテンプレートを使用したり、たくさんのテンプレートから刺激を受けたりできるようになりました。スケジューリングフロー、払い戻しフロー、積極的な送信エージェントなど、どれでも適切な統合があらかじめ設定されており、すぐに使え、スケールについてテスト済みです。 - Guardrails 2.0：カスタムビジネスポリシーとプリビルト保護で、エージェントをテーマ外、ブランド外にならないようにし、操作に強くします。 - On-prem & on device：TTS モデルをあらゆる規模の環境に展開可能。既存の AWS & GCP オファリングの上に構築（agent 向け VPC 経由）。 ElevenCreative（ストーリーテリング＆マーケティング向け）： - Flows & real-time collaboration：チーム全体で異なるクリエイティブアイデアをテストしたり、チーム間で協業したりするのが簡単に。 - Music Marketplace：Voice Marketplace からの報酬モデルを拡張し、音楽モデルで作成したトラックを公開でき、使用されたら収益が入ります。クリエイター＆マーケター向けには、より広いセレクションの高品質ライセンス音楽が準備できてます。 ElevenMusic もローンチしました：好きなアーティストの音楽をリッスンしたり、リミックスしたりできるモバイルアプリです。最後に、ブログをリフレッシュして（下記スナップショット）、起きていることのすべてを追いやすくしました。 月ごとに ElevenLabs は進化を続け、これらの各出荷は AI で実現するシームレスなコミュニケーション全体をパワーするプラットフォーム構築への小さな一歩です！

In April, we continued shipping for all the businesses who are using AI to transform how they communicate with their audiences - across sales, support and storytelling. Two common themes and goals across these launches: we are making it easier to get started and benefit from the @ElevenLabs ecosystem, and building things that address the deployment constraints our customers are facing. A quick recap of major product ships across the month, below. ElevenAgents, for customer experience: - Agent Templates: you can now get inspired by and use a plethora of templates for conversational agents. Whether it’s a scheduling flow, refund flow or proactive outbound agent, each comes preconfigured with the right integrations, out of the box, and is tested for scale. - Guardrails 2.0: custom business policies and pre-built protections to keep agents on-topic, on-brand and resistant to manipulation. - On-prem & on device: our TTS models available to deploy in an environment of any scale. That builds on top of existing AWS & GCP offerings via VPC for agents. ElevenCreative, for storytelling & marketing: - Flows & real-time collaboration: making it easier for teams to test different creative ideas without regenerating everything and collaborate across teams. - Music Marketplace: extending our compensation model from the Voice Marketplace, you can now publish a track created with our music model and earn when it is used. For creators & marketers, this means a wider selection of quality licensed music, ready to go. We also launched ElevenMusic: a mobile app to listen to and remix music from artists you love. And finally, we refreshed our blog (snapshot below) - making it easier to follow everything that's happening. Month on month ElevenLabs keeps evolving and each of these ships is a small step towards building a platform that powers the entirety of AI-enabled seamless communication!
@ElevenLabsにPaplaチームが加わることになり、本当に嬉しいです。音声インターフェースの最高峰を目指した取り組みを加速させます - モデル品質の向上、オンデバイス化、そしてフォワードデプロイドエンジニアリングのスケーリングに向けて。 @dabkowski_piotrと私が初めてHubert Siuzdakに会ったのは4年前(!)、私たちが参加した初期の学会のひとつであるInterspeechでした。その後、彼は3人の優秀なエンジニア - Dominik、Jakub、Tomasz - と共にPaplaを共同設立し、音声と音声エージェントの未来に向けて働いています。 初めて会ったとき、Hubertは潜在話者表現に関する革新的な研究WavThruVecについて発表していました。研究の影響力と明確性を超えて、ひとつのことが即座に明らかでした: 情熱です。写真の画質が悪く、Covidマスクをしていても、喜びとエネルギーが輝いて見えました。その同じエネルギーは彼の共同創設者たちとその会社全体に広がっていて - 卓越性に駆動され、顧客と肩を並べて音声エージェントをエンタープライズに届ける専任のチームです。 我々のポーランドチームは現在50人以上となり、ここでの存在感を継続的に加速させています。 Dominik、Hubert、Kuba、Tomek - あなたたちから学べること、そして一緒に働けることは喜びです!

So excited to welcome the Papla team on board at @ElevenLabs to help accelerate our work on the best voice interfaces - elevating model quality, building on-device, and scaling forward-deployed engineering. @dabkowski_piotr and I first met @HubertSiuzdak four years ago (!) at one of the first conferences we attended: Interspeech. He later went on to co-found Papla with three amazing engineers - Dominik, Jakub, and Tomasz - also working toward the future of voice & voice agents. When we first met, Hubert was presenting his breakthrough on latent speech representation with WavThruVec. Beyond the impact and clarity of the research, one thing was immediately clear: passion. Even through poor photo quality and Covid masks, you can see the happiness and energy beaming through. That same energy extended to his co-founders and the company they built - a team driven by excellence, working side-by-side with customers to bring voice agents to enterprises. Our Poland team is now more than 50 people strong, as we continue accelerating our presence here. Dominik, Hubert, Kuba, Tomek - a pleasure to learn from you and work together!
優しいお言葉ありがとうございます！そこには至ってませんが、目標はElevenLabsをこの時代の定義的なテクノロジー企業の一つに育てることで、このリストの伝説的な企業たちのレベルに向かって進むことです。

I’ll be in Madrid, Warsaw, and Paris over the next two weeks. If you’re nearby and want to help us double down on Europe and build locally across the region, let me know - would love to meet!
Thank you for the incredible journey together, @kirbyman01! It all started with the iconic ad hoc trip to London, when you came over to visit us and find a way to work together. I’m so glad you did - Piotr and I knew you would be an incredible partner - and, in a surreal moment, we signed our first term sheet on a piece of paper. So happy to have worked together since the Series A, with your help across all facets of our business - whether it was growth, hiring, finance, or hackathons. In the truest sense, you have been an extension of our team. While you will be missed, I’m so excited to see what you do next!
PERSONAL UPDATE: After 5+ years, I am leaving @a16z to start a fund! This was the toughest career decision of my life. I learned from the best partners and was privileged to work with incredible founders. So why leave? It is simply time to build. More to come on this.
We’ve partnered with @meetcleo to give it a voice to match its personality - funny, blunt, and genuinely useful. Now millions can speak directly with Cleo and get the same sharp advice they know from chat. Really excited for what @Barney_H_Y and team are building & from London!
Great to speak to @collision about what’s next in AI audio research and voice agents!
Mati Staniszewski and his team at @ElevenLabs have built amazing text-to-speech and speech-to-text models, and are now expanding into voice agents. In this episode of Cheeky Pint, I asked why one of the longest-promised UIs in computing ("Open the pod bay doors, HAL" was 1968!) has been so slow in arriving.
