Big news! Echo AI receives an ElevenLabs Grant
We're thrilled to share that Echo AI has been officially selected for the ElevenLabs Grants Program. This recognition gives us access to ElevenLabs credits and dedicated startup resources to push our voice and conversational AI capabilities to a whole new level.
What is the ElevenLabs Grants Program?
The ElevenLabs Grants Program supports promising startups building on top of ElevenLabs' world-class voice and agent technology. Selected teams receive credits, technical guidance, and access to a community of founders shipping the next generation of AI products.

Agents Platform access to build and deploy advanced conversational agents
Bi-weekly office hours with the ElevenLabs team, exclusive to grant recipients
Direct technical support through the ElevenLabs Discord community

What we're building next
This grant directly accelerates the voice roadmap we've been planning for Echo AI. Here's a glimpse of what's coming:
Custom cloned voices so businesses can clone their founder's voice, a brand spokesperson, or a signature in-store voice and make every Echo sound unmistakably theirs
Advanced voice chat agents with natural turn-taking, interruption handling, and human-like pacing for genuinely conversational calls
Real-time multilingual voices so a single Echo can switch seamlessly between English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and more without losing personality
Voice-first booking, support, and sales flows so customers can book a table, get answers, or check out entirely by voice
Inbound and outbound phone agents that can answer your business line, qualify leads, take reservations, and follow up, all in your own voice
Studio-quality audio replies in chat with expressive intonation, accents, and emotion control
Voice-enabled workflows so your Echo can read live data, confirm bookings, and trigger actions out loud
Why this matters
Voice is at the heart of how people will interact with AI. This grant lets us double down on natural, expressive voice agents inside Echo AI, so every business, from local SMEs to scaling teams, can deploy assistants that genuinely sound like their brand and feel like a real member of the team.
A huge thank you to the ElevenLabs team for believing in our vision. We can't wait to ship what's next.
What's next?
We'll be rolling out upgraded voice features across Echo AI in the coming weeks, starting with custom voice cloning and the new advanced voice chat agent. Stay tuned!
