According to IDG researchers, 77% of companies today use cloud technology. On the other hand, with increasing popularity, they are becoming more susceptible to cyberthreats. According to Kaspersky Lab, every tenth (10%) leak of data from the cloud was a result of the provider’s actions, while a third of all cyber incidents in the cloud (33%) occurred from employee oversight.

China implemented several restrictions for incoming international calls as a part of regulations on communications and strict spam monitoring.

Even the smallest businesses make plenty of calls on a daily basis. However, this can interfere with work processes and make collaborations less productive. Adopting a technology capable of solving inconveniences associated with traditional phone systems can potentially be a huge benefit. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows businesses to make calls over a computer or other data-driven devices. Also, it offers call forwarding, caller ID, voicemail, SMS, and video calls.

Speech by Alexey Aylarov, CEO of Voximplant at Intercom Conference

Check out the latest useful Voximplant Kit updates — we developed chat analytics, improved call history, added new tools for supervisors, expanded scenario capabilities, and updated the softphone. Below is a brief overview of the essential enhancements.

Voximplant has new realtime speech generation for voice AI from Inworld, our latest Voice AI text-to-speech (TTS) partner. Together, we combine state-of-the-art TTS with carrier-grade connectivity so you can build voice agents that sound like your brand, not a generic robot.

Learn how a Voice AI Orchestration Platform connects LLMs, STT/TTS, turn‑taking, and telephony (PSTN, SIP, WebRTC) to build reliable real‑time voice agents. See benefits, architecture, and how Voximplant helps.

The new integration enables instant connection of any Voximplant call to an Ultravox agent, delivering seamless voice-to-voice conversations.

New integrations for Voice AI have arrived: Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model, featuring seamless voice-to-voice conversation capabilities and ElevenLabs low-latency streaming speech synthesis are now available for Voximplant developers

Voximplant now includes a native Grok module that connects any Voximplant call to xAI’s Grok Voice Agent API for real-time, speech-to-speech conversations. With a single VoxEngine scenario, you can interact via audio with Grok over phone numbers, SIP trunks and infrastructure, WhatsApp Business, or WebRTC into Grok — all without building custom media gateways or WebSocket streaming infrastructure.

Voximplant has added a WebSocket privacy option that redacts message payloads from logs across all WebSocket-based services – Voice AI connectors and external speech system – and speech control modules

Voximplant now includes a native Cartesia module for streaming, low-latency text-to-speech (TTS). You can use a single VoxEngine API to synthesize speech in real time, connect it to any call (PSTN, SIP, WebRTC, WhatsApp) and control playback from a Large Language Model (LLM) or other source, all inside VoxEngine.
