Eleven Labs Reviews

   Eleven Labs has easily become one of the most impressive voice AI tools I've used. The quality of the voices is remarkably natural, and it's been great for experimenting with narration and audio content. Whether for quick prototypes or polished projects, it consistently delivers results that sound surprisingly human.

   One of the most realistic AI voice generators, but not perfect for full control

   I’ve been using ElevenLabs for generating voiceovers and testing different AI audio workflows, and it’s easily one of the most impressive tools in this space right now. The biggest strength is the voice quality — the output sounds very natural and expressive, often closer to real human speech than most alternatives. It handles pacing, tone, and even subtle emotions quite well, which makes it useful for content creation, demos, and narration. Another strong point is the voice cloning and multilingual support. You can generate voices in different accents and languages довольно быстро, and the setup process is simple even for non-technical users. However, it’s not perfect. Fine-grained control over tone, pauses, and pronunciation can still be limited in some cases, and you may need to tweak or regenerate outputs multiple times to get exactly what you want. Overall, ElevenLabs is a powerful and practical tool, especially if you need fast, high-quality voice generation without recording audio manually.

• The Text Field is the New Dashboard

  The guy: Matthew Gallagher, 41. He spent $20,000 and two months building Medvi, a GLP-1 weight-loss telehealth company, from his living room in Los Angeles. The stack: ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok writing code. Midjourney for images. Runway for video ads. ElevenLabs handling customer calls. Custom AI agents stitching it all together. His only full-time hire was his brother. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Build an AI teammate to help with your Postgres

  In this tutorial, we build exactly that kind of AI teammate. Instead of piecing together complex infrastructure (audio pipelines, transcription, NLP, TTS, avatars), we'll use Vision Agents to tie everything together, using Stream's WebRTC APIs, and give the AI both a voice and a human-like video presence using ElevenLabs voice and Anam avatars. The system we’ll create can listen, query Postgres, and respond during... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

  ElevenLabs is “the most realistic voice AI platform” (their words), and it really is fantastic. I have been using it to automatically call people, leave messages, and run outbound phone workflows. Since the business already had a Twilio number, I used [ElevenLabs' Twilio starter kit(https://github.com/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-examples/tree/main/examples/conversational-ai/twilio/javascript) for outbound calling. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX

  Devin Automations is the most obvious one: solid UX, but can get very expensive to run. There are also a bunch of newer startups in this space. I'm building one myself, https://boxes.dev -- we're very early but building for this exact use case. Some other ones worth a look are Factory Droid and Amp Orbs. Those two build their own agent harness (like Cursor), whereas with boxes.dev we run the native codex and... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Mitchellh starts a new company: Superlogical

  These tools all assume you have machines to run the agents on. But for parallel agents I'm pretty convinced you want each agent on its own isolated devbox running your dev environment (not e.g. Worktrees on one box) - which isn't trivial to set up and manage. I'm working this with https://boxes.dev - a workspace for launching and managing claude + codex sessions, each running in its own cloud devbox. We launched... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
