The past year has been about building the foundations of AI audio &#8211; now we\u2019re focused on making speech the standard for how we interact with technology,&#8221; the company <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elevenlabsio\/status\/1885010453312540936\">said <\/a>on X. &#8220;In just two months since launching Conversational AI, developers have created more than 250k customized AI agents, bringing voice AI to education, employee training, customer support, gaming, and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleven Labs was co-founded in 2022 by\u00a0Piotr D\u0105bkowski\u00a0and\u00a0Mateusz Staniszewski, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in machine learning and technology deployment. D\u0105bkowski previously worked as a machine learning engineer at Google, while Staniszewski held a strategic role at Palantir. Both founders were raised in Poland, and their inspiration for founding ElevenLabs reportedly came from watching inadequately\u00a0dubbed\u00a0American films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleven Labs is recognized as a leader in the synthetic voice space, competing with other firms like Descript and Voicemod. It allows users to generate realistic voices through its text-to-speech feature. It also has voice dubbing features in 32 languages, and also has voice changing and voice cloning features. Eleven Labs was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/matistanis\/status\/1883201023621333299\">used <\/a>by podcaster Lex Fridman to dub voices in his interview with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Its voice generation features have also been used by Drew Carey and Seth Godin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not just AI model companies that are raking in the big
