Latency Optimization for Production Grade Voice AI Agents

Enterprise AI Summit Enterprise AI Summit

I recently had the opportunity to speak at Magicball’s Enterprise AI Summit 2025, where I presented a talk sharing some of the learnings our team at ElevenLabs has accumulated while building and deploying AI voice agents at scale on the ElevenLabs Agents Platform.

The goal of the talk was to dive into the architecture of a voice AI agent, understand how latency adds up across different components, what steps that can be taken to reduce it, and how we’ve optimized various parts of the system on our ElevenLabs Agents Platform to achieve low end-to-end latency and support real-time conversations.

One of the highlights of the session was demoing our Expressive TTS V3 model and a live AI voice agent in Hindi. Seeing the audience react in real-time to subtle changes in expressiveness and the agent’s response was incredibly rewarding. It reinforced just how important expressiveness is in voice AI systems today.

A big thank you to our FDE team at ElevenLabs for sharing these learnings, our incredible Growth team for making this collaboration happen and giving me the chance to share this talk!
