Play.ai
ExternalPlay.ai was a cutting-edge platform for real-time voice intelligence, generating hyper-realistic AI voices indistinguishable from humans for deployment across web, phone, apps, and more. Trusted by giants like Instacart, Salesforce, Amazon, and the U.S. Army, it powered 24/7 voice agents for customer service, scheduling, and transactions in industries such as hospitality, healthcare, and real estate.
