# 11.ai

> Most voice assistants can tell you the weather and set a timer, and then run out of road. 11.ai, from the voice AI company ElevenLabs, is trying to be the version that actually gets things done. You speak or type a request, and it reaches into the tools you already use, connecting to services like Slack, Notion, Linear and Perplexity to carry out the task rather than just talk about it. The pitch is best shown by example. Ask it to find the pricing discussion from last Tuesday and drop it into the sales deck draft, and it goes and does exactly that across your apps. Under the hood it is built on the Model Context Protocol, an emerging standard for letting assistants plug into external tools, which means its range can grow as more services connect. What makes it worth a look for a non-engineer is the combination of ElevenLabs' genuinely natural, expressive speech with real actions attached. It points at a near future where talking to your computer stops feeling like a party trick and starts replacing a scatter of clicks and tabs.
