Introducing 11ai: the voice-first AI assistant that takes action
Today, we’re launching 11.ai (alpha) - a voice assistant built to explore the potential of ElevenLabs Conversational AI technology.
11.ai demonstrates what is possible when you combine voice-first interaction with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to give an AI assistant the ability to take action.
Voice assistants have long promised to revolutionize how we interact with technology, but they've been limited to answering questions. While impressive for conversation, they don't take meaningful action in your daily workflow.
Introducing 11ai
Voice-first productivity
Traditionelle Sprachassistenten stoßen an ihre Grenzen, wenn es darum geht, tatsächlich etwas Sinnvolles zu erreichen. Sie können Fragen beantworten, aber keine neuen Erkenntnisse auf Basis bereitgestellter Daten recherchieren. 11ai ist unser Ansatz, dieses Problem zu lösen, indem es durch MCP-Integration direkt mit den von Ihnen täglich genutzten Tools verbunden wird.
Here's what you might be able to accomplish with just your voice:
Morning planning:
"Plan my day and add my priority tasks to Linear"
Customer research:
"Use Perplexity to research our prospect meeting today and summarize their recent funding"
Project management:
"Search our Linear issues for the API bug and create a new ticket for the follow-up work"
Team communication:
"Catch me up on yesterday's Slack messages in the engineering channel"
11ai attempts to understand context across your tools and take sequential actions. When you ask it to research a customer, the goal is for it to search through your connected systems, find relevant data, and potentially act on that information by updating your CRM or sending a team update.
MCP integration
MCP provides a standardized way for AI assistants to integrate with external APIs with a uniform protocol.
ElevenLabs Conversational AI now also has built-in support for MCP — letting AI agents connect to services like Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Zapier and more seamlessly.
We provide out-of-the-box integrations for:
- Perplexity: Research capabilities with real-time web data
- Linear: Issue tracking and project management
- Slack: Team communication and message management
- Notion: Task and knowledge management
with more integrations being released every week.
Beyond these ready-made integrations, 11ai supports custom MCP servers. If your team has built internal tools or uses specialized software, you can connect your own MCP servers to extend 11ai's capabilities into your unique workflow.
