Coming soon: Yara in your own voice
We're working on an option for your AI assistant to answer calls in your own voice. It isn't available yet. Here is what it will change, and what it won't.
Coming soonThe short version
- Coming soon: an option for Yara to speak in your own voice on your calls.
- It isn't available yet, and we have not set a date.
- Callers will still hear that she's your virtual assistant and that the call is recorded.
Coming soon We're building an option that lets Yara answer your calls in your own voice. It is not available yet, and we have not set a date. We'll post here when it is live.
What it will do
Today, Yara speaks in her own voice. With this option, you record a short sample of your voice, and Yara answers your calls sounding like you. The choice will be yours. If you would rather keep her own voice, nothing changes.
You can see a preview on the home page.
What it won't change
- She still says who she is. Every call opens with your name, the words "virtual assistant" and a recording notice, in any voice.
- She still won't pretend to be you. If a caller asks, she says she's your virtual assistant, not a person.
- The same rules apply. A voice made from yours is still an AI-generated voice. The FCC treats AI voices as artificial voices under the TCPA (FCC 24-17), and so do we.
- The rest of the job. The same questions, the same appointments and the same text summary within 1 minute.
How to follow it
Join the waitlist to hear when it is ready. We also post every launch in this newsroom, and the news feed brings each one to your reader. Tell us what you would want from it on the feedback board.
Until then, you can have Yara call you and hear her voice today, or read how a call goes, step by step.
