We learn to speak before we learn to read.
Voice is the most natural interface we have.
We just raised a $100M to make building voice AI as easy as a web app.

- There’s a new TTS model on LiveKit Inference: assemblyai-tts-1, the first text-to-speech model from @AssemblyAI At a glance: • ~90ms to first audio • 4,000+ voices • English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, with more on the way • Word-level timestamps • $15 per 1M characters Add it to your agent, test it against the other TTS models on LiveKit Inference, and pick what sounds best for your callers. Try it now:AssemblyAI @AssemblyAIIntroducing AssemblyAI-TTS-1, our first text-to-speech model. Natural speech for voice agents, streaming in 90 ms, at $15 per million characters. On accuracy, naturalness, and cost together, it’s the best TTS model you can run at scale.14382.5K

Our friends at @modal built a real-time video avatar on their serverless GPUs and wrote up exactly how they did it, Sticky Sessions included >Modal @modalYou can give your @livekit agent a video avatar with open-weight models running on Modal.

Through Inworld’s integration with the LiveKit Agents framework, developers can use pre-built or custom voices alongside their choice of LLM and speech recognition models, with LiveKit handling realtime communication across web and mobile apps. The accompanying video takes a closer look at expressive delivery, including how TTS-2’s voice steering helped the team bring Expressive Mode to LiveKit Agents. “Inworld's TTS-2 marks a real step forward in emotionally expressive voice synthesis. When combined with the conversational intelligence of LiveKit agents, it enables interactions that feel genuinely human, responsive, nuanced, and alive in ways that feel natural.” - David Zhao, CTO, LiveKit Watch the video or read the full partner story for more on our work together:01271.8K

Now 80% of patient calls are fully handled by their agents, and most bookings take under a minute. Read more:631721.3K
- Two small models we trained for voice agents: turn detection knows when the user is actually done talking, adaptive interruption knows “uh huh” isn’t an interruption. Free for agents on LiveKit Cloud. Starting today, self-hosted agents can run them in production too: a free development allowance, then metered per request. The old monthly cap is gone.80593.8K

- Voice agents get built three ways: cascaded (STT, LLM, TTS), turn-based speech-to-speech, and full-duplex, where the model listens and talks at the same time. All three now run on LiveKit Inference: GPT-Live and GPT Realtime from @OpenAI, @grok Voice Think Fast from @xai, and Gemini Live from @GoogleDeepMind. One LiveKit Cloud key, one bill.161620258.3K
