11.ai is a new voice-first AI assistant from ElevenLabs. It connects to tools like Perplexity and Linear via MCP to take action on your behalf. Features 5,000+ voices and is now open in a free alpha.
A voice assistant that sounds perfectly natural is one thing, but the real value comes when it can actually do things for you. When that great voice interface connects to more of your tools, your ability to get things done just skyrockets.
ElevenLabs' new experimental alpha, 11.ai, is built on this idea. It combines their top-tier conversational AI with a growing list of integrations via MCP, connecting to tools like Perplexity for research, Linear for tasks, and Slack for updates.
This means you can go from just asking questions to actually managing your workflow—planning your day, researching topics, creating tickets—all through a natural conversation. It's a huge boost for real-world productivity.
You can even personalize it with thousands of voices. As a proof of concept for voice-first assistant, this is very interesting to see.
Since tools like Hacker News are being integrated, makes you wonder when we'll be able to just speak to find goodies on PH, right? 🤔
