0:00 It is crazy how powerful and realistic voice agents are becoming. And Rhyme Labs is leading the charge. You got to check this out because their voice models are powering the calls for a

0:09 bunch of massive companies like Mayo Clinic and Dialad. And what I really found cool is that Rhyme Labs is founded by linguists, people who understand how language actually works. So they can

0:21 encode their expertise in the voices they create, which by the way, they have hundreds of different voices with different languages and dialects. Now, you might be asking, Cole, why are you

0:30 just showing me another option for my voice models? But here's the thing. They are legitimately better than anything I've tested before. So, if you need an upgrade to your voice agents, this is

0:40 it. I mean, just being quite frank, as I've been testing the different voice models here in Rhyme Labs, I've noticed that it just doesn't screw up on the things that voice models usually do,

0:48 like handling numbers, dollar amounts, IDs, the kinds of things that like when you have it in the audio, you just really can tell that it's an agent that's saying it. So take a look at this

0:58 example here. >> Hey, it's Archon. The run on PR37 just finished. Opus 5 rewrote the O middleware. Tests went from 9 of 12 passing to 12 of 12 and it cost 42.

1:10 Commit is 7 AF8C22. Want me to merge it? >> Now, of course, that's just a small example of all the testing that I've been doing, but like man, that was good.

1:18 I can see why there are so many large companies trusting Rhyab's models to power millions of calls a month. and their dashboard makes it incredibly easy to try all their different models and

1:27 generate sample audio. And of course, Rhyme Labs has both an API and MCP server. So, it's very easy to generate audio and incorporate it in your applications. And by the way, the voice

1:37 model you just heard is called Capola. If you want to use the same one, it is fantastic. But yeah, they have hundreds of models for you to explore here. And you can filter by native language,

1:46 country, gender, age, style. It's fantastic. Rhyme Labs also has fantastic documentation. It's extremely easy to get started within your automations or directly in their dashboard and you get

1:57 800 minutes free to start and it's only 5 cents per minute of audio after that. I'll have a link in the description to Rhyme Labs. Definitely worth checking out. Their voice models are incredible.

2:07 In fact, their models are incredible enough where I tested them first and then I reached out like, "Hey guys, your models are incredible. I want to show them on my channel." So, of course,

2:14 thanks to them for working with me on this
