AI voice platform ElevenLabs just launched 11ai, an in-house voice assistant that connects to tools via Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol to execute tasks rather than just answer questions.
• The experimental alpha release integrates with platforms like Perplexity, Linear, Slack, and Notion, allowing users to manage tasks through voice commands.
• Developers can also add custom MCP servers for additional integrations and workflows beyond the pre-built connections.
• The platform offers 5,000+ voice options and supports voice cloning, running on ElevenLabs’ own conversational AI infrastructure.
• 11ai is free to use and try for “several weeks,” allowing the company to gather feedback on the product and integrations.
ElevenLabs already has some of the strongest speech models on the market, and pairing them with MCP for tools, data access, and actions could showcase how voice assistants can actually be more useful than Siri and other outdated assistants may have led consumers to believe.
