Why Inworld + Vapi for voice AI

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.
  • Expressive voices: 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.
  • Multilingual: 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.
  • Accessible pricing: Studio-quality voices for just $15/1M characters, 75% cheaper than other providers, so you can build engaging experiences that scale with your users.
  • Streaming-ready: Inworld voices support ~200ms latency to the first audio chunk to meet a range of voice agent use cases.
  • API-native: 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.
