  <h3>Why Inworld + Vapi for voice AI</h3>
  <p>
    Emotionally expressive, contextually-aware voices vs. robotic chatbots are
    key for interactive experiences with voice agents. You can now access
    Inworld’s pre-built voices to build high-quality voice agents on Vapi’s
    platform. We made it seamless for developers to create assistants, coaches,
    characters, and more with dynamic personalities and understanding. Using
    Vapi, you can design suites of simulated voice agents and test different
    prompts, voices, and flows to optimize performance before going to
    production.

  <ul class="mb-12">
    <li>
      <span class="font-bold">Expressive voices:</span> Choose from dozens of
      pre-built Inworld voices that have been trained on diverse datasets to
      capture subtle nuances in tone and prosody. Inworld voices make AI
      interactions feel more natural, which was previously only achievable via
      high-end custom pipelines.
    </li>
    <li>
      <span class="font-bold">Multilingual:</span> Build agents in 11 of the
      most common languages for consumer applications, including English (with
      its various accents), Chinese, Korean, Dutch, French, Spanish, and more.
    </li>
    <li>
      <span class="font-bold">Accessible pricing:</span>
      Studio-quality voices for just $5/M characters, which is 5% of the cost of
      TTS from leading labs, so you can build engaging experiences that scale
      with your users.
    </li>
    <li>
      <span class="font-bold">Streaming-ready:</span> Inworld voices support
      ~200ms latency to the first audio chunk to meet a range of voice agent use
      cases.
    </li>
    <li>
      <span class="font-bold">API-native:</span> Everything is exposed on Vapi
      as an API, with 1000s of configurations and integrations. Plug in your
      APIs as tools to intelligently fetch data and perform actions on your
      server.
    </li>
  </ul>
  <h3>By developers, for developers</h3>
  <p>
    Create a Vapi account to easily access the catalog of Inworld voices in a
    variety of languages. In your Vapi dashboard, you can test messaging and
    customize the system prompt to your brand, narrative tone, or interaction
    type. Just press ‘Talk to Assistant’ to start testing.
