Real World Example
Multilingual Global Support Automation
International e-commerce retailers requiring 24/7 customer support across diverse linguistic markets.
The business problem
High operational costs and latency associated with maintaining human-staffed multilingual call centers for routine inquiries.
How this topic solves it
Leveraging ElevenAgents to deploy conversational AI voice agents that utilize real-time Text to Speech and Speech to Text models to handle customer queries in over 90 languages.
- Define the conversational workflow and knowledge base within the ElevenAgents platform.
- Select or clone a voice profile that aligns with the brand identity for consistent customer interaction.
- Integrate the ElevenAPI into the existing customer support portal to enable low-latency, real-time voice streaming.
- Configure the multi-layered safety defense system to ensure all agent responses adhere to brand and compliance guidelines.
The flow illustrates how customer input is processed by the ElevenLabs stack to generate a response.
Transcribes audio input
Processes intent and logic
Synthesizes audio response
- Customer → Sends audio stream → Speech to Text
- Speech to Text → Passes text transcript → ElevenAgents
- ElevenAgents → Triggers response generation → Text to Speech
- Text to Speech → Streams audio back → Customer
Expected business outcome
A scalable, consistent, and cost-effective support infrastructure that provides seamless, human-like voice interactions in the customer's native language.
Limitations and checks
The reliance on real-time streaming requires stable network conditions; developers should implement client-side buffering and connection monitoring to check for latency spikes.
