Berkeley, CA, December 20, 2024–Krisp, the leader in AI-powered voice productivity software, has partnered with Fixie.ai to integrate Krisp’s AI Noise Cancellation into Ultravox Realtime Voice AI managed service. This integration enhances Ultravox’s real-time, text-free voice processing by ensuring clear, natural conversations—even in noisy environments.
Ultravox Realtime is a managed service that builds on open-source foundations to deliver real-time AI voice conversations in applications. It includes built-in support for telephony, voice assistants, and other key tools required for advanced voice agents. Unlike most voice AI systems, Ultravox processes speech directly as embeddings, bypassing traditional automatic speech recognition (ASR) to enable more natural, fluent AI interactions.
“Our unique approach to voice AI is all anchored on delivering unmatched quality,” said Zach Koch, Founder and CEO of Ultravox. “Integrating Krisp eliminates one of the biggest challenges—unwanted interruptions—ensuring seamless, interruption-free conversations.”
“Voice AI should feel natural and effortless to customers,” said Robert Schoenfield, EVP of Licensing and Partnerships at Krisp. “Ultravox is redefining conversational voice AI, and we’re excited to help power their journey toward seamless interactions.”
