Humans share one mechanism for the rapid exchange of ideas and information:
Speech.
Human speech can be rapid, messy, and confusing, but this messy exchange of ideas serves as the backbone of human progress.
We’re a research lab and product company bringing this capability to AI.
We're the secret behind some of the world's best performing voice agents:

The Voice AI Problem
Human Speech ≠ Text
Most Voice AI systems are designed to convert speech to text before an LLM can process it. This approach introduces two problems:
1) Transcribing speech to text adds latency, slowing the conversation before inference can even begin.
2) Paralinguistic signals that influence meaning, like tone, cadence, and pitch, are lost when speech is transcribed.
This is why most Voice AI agents feel slow and robotic. Achieving real-time, natural conversations at scale requires a fundamentally new, purpose-built approach to voice AI.
The Solution
A Unified Stack For Audio Intelligence
Ultravox took a first-principles approach to building a real-time voice AI infrastructure layer that can deliver fast, natural, and scalable voice agents. Ultimately, this meant we needed to create and manage our own end-to-end system.
We started by training a speech-native model, to ensure paralinguistic cues aren’t lost in transcription. To keep latency low, we manage our full inference stack, so there’s no waiting on external LLMs or shared inference pools. We also manage all our own infrastructure–it’s more work for our team, but it supports our goal of delivering best-in-class voice AI experiences.
Fast, Accurate, Smart.
Pick Two Three
Ultravox performs as well as top reasoning models when latency is factored.

Voice Agents for a future.
A future that offers useful, productive, and accessible AGI will require models that can operate in the fast-paced and often ambiguous world of human speech.
We believe that any genuine solution to general intelligence must encompass voice as a natural use case, and any optimal solution to voice should help illuminate the path forward to general intelligence.
While voice intelligence comes with its own unique challenges, they are not fundamentally different from those of general intelligence. Our team’s mission is to help close the gap between human speech and voice AI, and working on practical solutions in voice provides a concrete way to validate–or invalidate–our broader theories of general intelligence.
