I'm speechless...

This is a major step-change in AI generated voice (TTS)

Elevenlabs just released v3 as a public alpha and you can try it now for 80% off during all of June 💸

Let's unpack this 👇 To be clear, it's still an Alpha, and it requires more prompting engineering to get great results.

The fact that it went through over 569 sources 🤯 Image

Grok is giving me hundreds of pages of detailed instructions on how to make chemical weapons of mass destruction

DeepSearch then also makes it possible to refine the plan and check against hundreds of sources on the internet to correct itself.

I have a full shopping list

I just ask ChatGPT everything. literally. Need to dig deeper? then I askPerplexity.

Even deeper? cited sources It’s not just questions in text. Sending images, concepts, files, urls, you name it.
