Summary

BLACKBOX AI has chosen ElevenLabs over OpenAI to enhance their autonomous, voice-first agents, Logger and Robocoder, which serve over 30 million developers by facilitating natural conversations and scalable deployments. Logger autonomously monitors systems, detects issues, and communicates with engineers for real-time problem-solving, while Robocoder assists in building full-stack applications through conversational interfaces. ElevenLabs was selected due to its superior conversational quality, extensive global voice coverage with over 5,000 voices, and scalable cost-effectiveness, addressing challenges BLACKBOX AI faced with other providers, such as unnatural conversations and limited voice options. The integration of ElevenLabs has resulted in faster incident resolution, improved developer onboarding, and increased user engagement, supporting BLACKBOX AI's vision of advancing voice-first enterprise software and eliminating human bottlenecks in software development.
