He sits down with John to discuss the \"voice Turing Test\" and why AI has conquered text but still struggles with conversational speech. They discuss the future of human-computer interaction, including why we still can't get our phones to read a PDF properly and the massive potential for voice agents in everything from farming to healthcare. Mati also opens up about ElevenLabs’ rapid ascent to an $11 billion valuation and gives a behind-the-scenes look at how Ukraine is using their tech for digital government services.Timestamps(00:00:27) How audio models work(00:08:52) ElevenLabs business model(00:17:50) The conversational Turing Test(00:21:01) Link by Stripe(00:26:02) Cascaded vs speech-to-speech(00:31:53) Universal translation(00:51:41) Designing an AI-native org","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yxGTFiQoO_yf4AoNETaTqI0qZ7bnSJakdxQ_jGkRaug/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ZGFk/ODk1OGE5Y2ExZjc5/MGMxNjYwOWQxYjdi/YTlkYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
