Voice AI Goes Mainstream in 2025

Human-like voice agents are moving from pilot to production. In Deepgram’s 2025 State of Voice AI Report, created with Opus Research, we surveyed 400 senior leaders across North America - many from $100M+ enterprises - to map what’s real and what’s next.

The data is clear:

• 97% already use voice technology; 84% plan to increase budgets this year.

• 80% still rely on traditional voice agents.

• Only 21% are very satisfied.

• Customer service tops the list of near-term wins, from task automation to order taking.

See where you stand against your peers, learn what separates leaders from laggards, and get practical guidance for deploying human-like agents in 2025.

ElevenLabs just launched Scribe v2 Realtime, a speech-to-text model that converts voice to text in only 150 milliseconds. Supports 90+ languages like English, Hindi, Japanese, and Spanish making it one of the fastest and most accurate transcription tools ever made.

It’s designed for voice agents, meeting tools, and live apps that need instant and accurate results.

Key facts:

• Transcribes in real time (150ms latency)

• Covers 90+ languages

• Meets major data security standards (SOC 2, ISO27001, HIPAA, GDPR)

• Offers Zero Retention Mode and EU/India data residency

• Available now via API or ElevenLabs Agents

Replit now bundles AI models so you can build instantly with no setup.

Replit AI Integrations gives direct access to 300+ text and image models from providers like GPT, Gemini, and Claude, all inside Replit with no API keys or extra accounts.

The Replit Agent wires up models, handles credentials and billing, and picks smart defaults so you can start coding after a single prompt.

You see usage and costs on your Replit dashboard and can swap providers by asking the Agent. This makes building chatbots, image tools, transcription apps, and other AI features fast and frictionless.

Google’s upcoming Nano Banana 2 model has surfaced ahead of its expected November 11 launch.

Early leaks show massive improvements in image quality, accuracy, and control fixing issues from the first version. It can now handle better coloring, complex angles, and even text correction inside images.

Rumors suggest Nano Banana 2 is built on Gemini 2.5 Flash, with a later move to Gemini 3.0 Pro possible.

Tests hint at a “Nano Banana Pro” version in development, offering up to 4K output and support for more aspect ratios.

While not officially confirmed, internal code and Gemini UI updates suggest the release is imminent.

OpenAI is testing a new Group Chats feature for ChatGPT, allowing multiple users to collaborate with the AI in a single shared chat.

Teams will be able to set custom prompts and control when ChatGPT responds, either automatically or only when tagged.

The feature is designed for seamless teamwork, reducing context-switching between chats and making group projects, planning, and brainstorming faster.

Unlike Microsoft Copilot’s simpler group mode, ChatGPT’s version adds advanced controls for managing AI behavior.

The rollout is rumored for December, likely as part of OpenAI’s year-end feature release cycle.

• xAI is developing Grok Code Remote, letting users create virtual environments and run Grok tasks directly from the web with both remote and local options.
