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.

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.

Connect any Voximplant call to ElevenLabs Conversational AI agents

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.

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 now includes a native Deepgram module that connects any Voximplant call to Deepgram’s Voice Agent API for real-time, speech‑to‑speech conversations. You can stream audio from phone numbers, SIP trunks, WhatsApp, or WebRTC into Deepgram’s unified agent environment—combining STT, LLM reasoning, and TTS—and play responses via Voximplant’s serverless runtime with minimal latency.

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.
