ElevenLabs podcast mentions

real. This is basically the gap that I think Infosys is trying to fill. And strategically I think this is kind of mirroring what Microsoft already does by bundling Azure OpenAI with Copilot. Except Info plays in a lot of deals where Microsoft doesn't always win. It's not it's not in the deals. It doesn't have the distribution. So it's kind of a new channel. I would expect to see um a deal like this. this to help push uh open AI's revenue higher. OpenAI obviously wants you know enterprise revenue to catch up to anthropic, which is now over thirty billion dollars in annualized revenue. They need this type of distribution um in order to try to catch up to anthropic. Okay. If you're still paying for Chat GPT, Clyde, Gemini, and Grok, by the way, eleven labs for audio and maybe like separate image generators. I have to tell you about AIBox. This is what I personally have built. It's what I recommend to my friends who keep asking me how to actually use AI without going you know, without spending a ton of money on subscriptions basically ai box gives you access to over 80 ai models in one place all of the top models so you can pick whatever one is best for the tack the task that you're working on or just ask a question and we'll pick the best model for it. The part that I think is super useful is our automation builder. You could just describe a tool that you want in plain English an…

You don't need to wrestle with new a new platform. You just describe it and it will build it. It's $8.99 a month, uh very cheap. I…

to video and to maybe steer it a little more? Yeah. Almost all of them were VO3. just directly text a video. I did a couple on the Minimax model. Especially the new trend of like animals diving off the diving board at the Olympics. the sound effects like super dialed. So I actually did that with the Minimax model and then used the new Eleven labs sound effects models to hand generate the sound effects, which took A very long time and then line them up at the right spot in the think a lot of people don't know until you use it is you actually can't do image to video With audio. Google hasn't released that yet. I would assume for trust and safety reasons. In the interface you can start with a frame, but once you do that, if you're doing it on the VOC three text to video model, it will switch you back to VO2 and will tell that it makes it super hard for like character consistency, right? If you're not able to start with an image. of the same character over and over again, which is part of why you're seeing so many of these viral

We have uh 11 labs for audio. We have tons of cool audio, tons of cool video platforms as well. We've added video in there so you can actually use OpenAI's Sora model, you can use Google Vio. Um it's $8.99 a month and you get access to over 80 different models, you know, all types of models and you use them all in the same chat. I love it because you know I I use Claude a lot because it has awesome tone. for everything so I'll have it help me write things but then it doesn't generate images and so I'll say okay now use openai's image generator and then I can say okay now use Google Vio to create a video with this kind of concept and I'll you know then be like okay I need a uh you know like an audio um overview for this give me it with eleven labs. All of that is in one chat on one platform. It is incredibly useful. useful and also saves you a ton of money not having to have subscriptions to every single platform. If you want to check it out, it is aibox.ai. It's linked in the description. I hope this saves you a ton of money and is incredibly useful for you. We even have it 20% off if you get the annual plan, you get a 20% discount. So really this is a this is a no-brainer. It should help you a ton. in the description. Okay, let's talk about what's going on with anthropic. This is kind of the wildest story coming out today. Bloomberg, CNBC, TechCrunch, all of them are writing…

And I don't I'm sure Meta's not the only one in the world, but I think it's important because it's kind of an important thing to talk about because obviously these AI agents are super useful. but they're not perfect. I think as they're getting a lot more autonomy, there's the the mistakes that they make. are getting more and more expensive. Uh recently I was running an AI tool that sucked up uh twelve hundred dollars in eleven labs credits because it had a glitch and it just regenerated the same script over and over again while I was out all day. So you really have to keep an eye on a lot of these I thought was fascinating. There is a growing backlash right now against AI and I think there's a a post that kind of sparked a lot of this controversy. And a lot of people were um roasting Sam Altman because he posted uh Basically a thank you to developers. He write he wrote like this whole uh Twitter kind of thread. He said, I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character by character it already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting up. to this point. Uh basically I think he's getting a lot of criticism because this is coming on the backs of Amazon lane out. sixteen thousand workers block chopped their workforce almost in half.

that hadn't received as much attention from the beginning. So I'm very curious. Twenty twenty five, this year, AI feels like every single month we're having like a year. worth of attention all packed into everything now. But multimodal, I think is It's its own sort of like adoption and maturity. Like back in twenty twenty. I don't think there's much going on at all. Image, video, whatever, right? Eleven labs is just getting started. Like in your customers obviously represents the most Advanced forward, mid-journey, runway, like these are people that are dedicated using videos. Course you have Harvey, you have UBS on our logos now. I'm curious, like do you see twenty twenty five there is like like a huge leap of people using multimodal data like across different types. types of companies now? And what is the place they're getting started? Because it seems like right now Oh, it's feels like there's more, but it's really hard to pinpoint. Yep, absolutely. So from the beginning. our long-term conviction was look, we all have five senses, right? So so AI has to be multimodal. Right. But the path in which that multimodality manifested is actually super interesting. I think there there's a couple of things that we noticed along the way, that's probably interesting to point out, is like originally you know you had mid-journey at runway these were the kind of the ogs and multi

to uh to apprehend that uh particularly important information. Balanced a strike, I think, is a podcast host. Mm-hmm. But good feedback for sure. Yeah. Alrighty, well let's dive into the news starting as usual with of the tools and apps section and the first story is about AI generated music yet again the kind of one of the highlight trends. ends of a year it seems, and this time it is coming from eleven labs. Eleven Labs, if you've been following it for a while, you probably know is a lead. source of uh AI generated voice. Music via some post on Twitter or X. So uh Uh not quite out yet, not clear when it'll be out, but they did post a few examples. Examples and the examples I I listened to them really clean. really convincing results there. You know, we now have Two big players we recently discovered a new entry with UD. There's also Suno now 11 lab seemingly also entering into a space

So we trust the users a lot on the other. That um yeah, I mean if you don't want Lindy to send an email with that yourself, so don't ask her to send email with SSA. If you want her to ask for confirmation, there's like one click. It's like you click on send email and then You double like ask for confirmation and it just works. How about voice? Some stuff with calling now as well, right? We do voice. We use Use eleven labs for that, we use Deepgram for the transcription, we use Yeah, we don't use Any higher level like another like Vapi and like Blend and like about the other players, but like there's a couple of players there, we just just rolled out our own because we we again We did care about meeting a lot of of the flexibility that we needed. um because that's the beauty of Lindy like you can really like create Agent and like and and these these every time we looked into the solutions which we did like this. They were too opinionated, too high level to be useful for us. So from Level. You're using their voice models for synthesis, but you're not using like because they have kind of call scaffolding type stuff as well at this point, but you have your own scaffolding. Well we really care about the model agnosticity of Lindy. So

AI apps and start deploying actual infrastructure. Etienne has audited the market for the AI unraveled community. Head over to DGMmaymind.com forward slash toolkit. for the AI Executive Toolkit. This is a private, forensic vetted stack featuring tools like Chat Base and Eleven Labs Enterprise Grade Weapons designed to drive actual Yeah, that infrastructure is key. Because while enterprises are dealing with KYC protocols and automated zero days, the actual everyday user you listening right now is dealing Absolutely. If you synthesize the feedback from primary consumer communities, particularly the Reddit consensus and developer forums, there's a distinct Exhaus that we can categorize as the gym membership paradox. Man, I have felt this exact paradox personally. Oh, I think we all have. You are essentially paying for three different gym membership. memberships because one gym has the impact absorbing treadmills you like, the second gym has the heavy powerlifting weights, and the third gym has the only decent sauna. It's absurd. You are absolutely terrified to cancel any single $20 subscription because you rely on Chat GPT for its specific data analysis tools.

Um so we put a lot of work into refining that. And there's also a lot of exciting innovation happening in the the model space. space for voice models, whether it's the transcription or the text to speech. And so We give you the freedom to switch between those models, right? So you can try out some of the different voice models. Some that are really really cheap and really you know, got really casual voices and and some like eleven labs that are much more expensive, but they're very professional, clean voices. And you can find the right for your kind of experience that you want. Trade off. There's a lot of trade-offs, right? invoice between latency, price, quality. So we let users explore that and find the That is interesting. So next year Is it you're meant to be the middleware between implementation and Feedback to user? Yeah, we handle everything related to the voice. basically, and we let you just handle Text like a text chatbot. Basically. No heavy MP3 or Wave file coming down. Just just

Aber sobald eben User, Nutzer dabei sind, die etwas zum Beispiel auch verkaufen müssen, also Enterprise Sales verkaufen. Versucht man die Lieferantennummer bei Siemens zu bekommen, wenn du denen was verkaufen willst. Also das macht auch noch kein Agent. Ja, OpenClaw wird das wahrscheinlich, wenn du wenn ihr mal irgendwann draufsetzt, wird das wahrscheinlich sogar machen. Also ich weiß nicht, ob du es mitbekommen hast, ne? Open Claw, also wenn du dem Ding, wenn du dem Ding eine Kreditkarte gibst und sagst, mach das, dann, also es gab so einen Film von einem User, der gesagt hat, mich hat plötzlich meinen Open Claw am nächsten Morgen angerufen, weil er sich bei Eleven Labs einen Account gebucht hat und hat mit einer Interface Text-to-to-Voice-Adaption hat er mich morgens angerufen und mit mir gesprochen hat Das kannst du auch mit Siemens machen, hinter dir dann irgendwie einfach bei tausend Unternehmen anrufen lassen und sagen, sag mal, ich brauche hier die Lieferantennummer oder wie auch immer, die Durchwahl. Naja, aber das würde jetzt zu weit, Olaf. Ich würde sagen, wir legen uns das nochmal. Ich muss da ein bisschen drauf rumdenken. Das sage ich selten nach so einem Gespräch, aber ich finde, das ist jetzt hier so groß, ja, und du hast es auch noch. Mal so groß geframed. Das können wir vielleicht beim nächsten Mal nochmal so eine Nachklappe machen, glaube ich. Ja, Größe ist re…
