What it does
ElevenLabs offers a platform for AI-generated audio and for conversational agents. Its creative side, ElevenCreative, covers expressive speech in 90+ languages, custom sound effects and music from text prompts, and image and video creation and editing with models named on the site such as Veo, Wan, Kling and Seedance. An editor supports podcasts, audiobooks and voiceovers. Voices can be cloned, designed from a prompt or chosen from a library of 10,000+ voices. ElevenAgents is for configuring, deploying and monitoring conversational agents in 90+ languages over voice or chat. The agents work across phone, chat, email and WhatsApp, and the platform includes analytics, simulated-conversation testing, guardrails for behavior and compliance, and workflows that connect to business systems. For developers there are APIs for text to speech (Flash, Multilingual and v3 models, 29+ languages), speech to text (Scribe, with speaker diarization and character-level timestamps) and music, with a JavaScript client shown in the examples. The site introduces Eleven v4 as its newest and most emotive model, and says commercial rights for music vary by subscription tier.
